Supply chain security with PR scanning and AI-powered risk analysis
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Socket scans packages across major registries, warns or blocks on risky dependency changes in pull requests, and uses AI-powered risk analysis with reachability to cut CVE noise. The free plan covers 1 dev seat and 1,000 scans a month, Team is $25 per dev seat and Business $50. It focuses on dependency risk, so it will not review your own application logic the way a general PR reviewer does.
Our verdict
Best treated as the dependency gate in your PR flow, especially with AI agents adding packages. Pair it with a reviewer for first-party code.
Best for
Teams whose biggest risk is third party packages added by humans or agents.
Avoid if
You need a reviewer for application logic.
