Provenance: embold.io/pricing returned HTTP 502 (unreachable) on 2026-06-18 — official prices could not be verified. Plan structure (Open Source free; Cloud Free 5 users/5 scans/up to 50k LOC; Cloud Premium 10 users/100k LOC; On-Premise quote) confirmed via G2/SaaSworthy (last updated June 2025). Aggregators cite a starting price of ~$299/mo, but per 'null beats a guess' the Cloud Premium monthlyUsd is left null because no official source confirms it. Compliance unverified (all null). Lower confidence vendor.
