FAQ
What is an AI native AppSec platform?
It’s an application security platform built for a world where AI is part of how software is developed. That means two things:
-
It handles AI specific risks like insecure AI-generated code, unsafe prompt design, vulnerable model usage, and policy violations tied to AI in your apps.
-
It uses AI to improve AppSec itself by automatically detecting issues, prioritizing real risks, and even remediating them faster than manual methods.
This isn’t a traditional AppSec tool with AI added on top, it’s built to secure modern applications built at the era of AI.
How does Mend.io differ from other AppSec vendors?
Mend.io’s AI Native AppSec Platform stands out with these unique advantages:
- Secures AI components in your code by detecting and assessing the risks of AI component and by detecting behavioral risks with AI red teaming.
- Secures AI generated code with integrations into AI code editors with agentic SAST and agentic SCA.
- Reduces risk through AI based workflows by driving detection, prioritization, and remediation across the entire platform with AI.
- Holistic platform for full visibility that provides visibility across your entire codebase, including custom code, open source, containers, and AI generated code and components.
What is a contributing developer?
“Contributing Developer” means any employee or contractor who during the term of the agreement accesses or uses Mend.io’s web UI application or any engineer, developer or other person that writes, develops or modifies the Customer’s, or Customer’s affiliate’s, code being scanned or monitored by the Mend AppSec Platform. For the avoidance of doubt, the same individual will not be counted more than once even if acting in two separate roles such as a developer and platform user.
Why are you pricing per contributing developer?
Mend.io enables developers and security professionals to write secure code and utilize secure components, across every area of the SDLC. Therefore, pricing based on the number of Contributing Developers best reflects the impact of our solution, without limiting you on factors such as size of code or number of scans.
Does the above pricing include all vulnerability sources?
Yes. Mend.io’s AI Native AppSec Platform includes the full extent of our database, which supports over 200 programming languages. We aggregate vulnerabilities from the NVD, dozens of security advisories, and popular open source projects issue trackers to make sure you’re always covered.
Are there additional fees per GB?
No. We take pride in offering transparent, simple, and predictable pricing. We price per Contributing Developer since we know managers have better visibility into the growth of their headcount rather than the size of their software or lines of code.
What is included?
Mend.io’s AI Native AppSec Platform includes all functionality currently in Mend Renovate, Mend SCA, Mend Container, Mend SAST, and base Mend AI offering (AI model and framework inventories and AI-BoMs).

Are there any add ons?
In addition to the available expansion options (Mend AI Premium, DAST, API Security, EOL Support for OSS projects) for Mend.io’s AI Native AppSec Platform, a few items, such as hosting, services, or custom agreements, may continue to be an additional charge.
Are there any limitations to the number of applications, projects, or scans that can be utilized?
Mend.io’s pricing for the AI Native AppSec Platform is per contributing developer which does not limit you with code size, number of scans, and number of applications. Limitations of the available expansion options may vary.
