Our verdict on Safety CLI

Safety CLI is a command-line software composition analysis tool for Python projects. It scans project directories, requirements files, and entire development machines for known vulnerabilities and malicious packages. Results can be exported as JSON, HTML, text, or SBOM formats, while remediation recommendations and available automatic dependency fixes support follow-up work. It suits individual developers and Python teams that want dependency visibility across development environments, CI/CD pipelines, and production systems.

Pricing is structured around Free, Team, and Enterprise plans. Free is available at $0 per developer per month and includes one codebase, 100 scans per month for one user, public vulnerability data, and project-specific security policies. Team costs $25 per developer per month and adds up to 20 contributing developers, up to 25 codebases, 5,000 scans per month, firewall protection, Safety proprietary vulnerability data, security reports, and AI-powered insights. Enterprise includes unlimited contributing developers and codebases, up to 20,000 scans per month, an on-premises deployment option, and a dedicated account manager, with pricing available through sales. A 7-day free trial is also offered.

Its feature set goes beyond basic dependency checks with whole-machine scanning, SBOM output, reachability analysis, project security policies, and CI/CD integration through GitHub Actions. The platform supports Windows, macOS, Linux, cloud-based deployment, and self-hosted environments, with integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Docker, Bitbucket, and GitHub Actions. Safety CLI is a practical choice for Python-focused teams that value a free entry tier and structured scanning controls. Teams needing a broader multi-ecosystem CLI workflow should consider a different SCA product.
