I am only aware of the base price. I do not know what happened with our purchasing team in discussions with GitGuardian. I was not privy to the overall contract, but in terms of the base MSRP price, I found it reasonable.

The purchasing process is convoluted compared to Snyk, the other tool we use. It's like night and day because you only need to punch in your credit card, and you're set. With GitGuardian, getting a quote took two or three weeks. We paid for it in December but have not settled that payment yet. It's also worth mentioning that GitGuardian is unique because they have a free tier that we've been using for the first twelve months. It provides full functionality for smaller teams. We're a smaller company and have never changed in size, but we got to the point where we felt the service brought us value, and we wanted to pay for it. We also wanted an SLA for technical support and whatnot, so we switched to a paid plan. Without that, they had a super-generous, free tier, and I was immensely impressed with it.

Every company has a budget to spend on security tools, so it depends on what you want to spend on security at each stage in their maturity walk. You can have a vulnerability in your code with a firewall in front, but you don't want an application exposing secrets. An attacker knows how to crawl your application and extract information. It depends on how much you want to prioritize the cleanness of your code from a secrets perspective.
The pricing is reasonable. GitGuardian is one of the most recent security tools we've adopted. When it came time to renew it, there was no doubt about it. It is licensed per developer, so it scales nicely with the number of repositories that we have. We can create new repositories and break up work. It isn't scaling based on the amount of data it's consuming.

Everything is included in the Business version, so there are no extra costs. You can't take some parts out and add other parts in and change the price.

It could be cheaper. When GitHub secrets monitoring solution goes to general access and general availability, GitGuardian might be in a little bit of trouble from the competition, and maybe then they might lower their prices. The GitGuardian solution is great. I'm just concerned that they're not GitHub.

If you were to run a proof of concept with GitGuardian and see all of the things that it detects, then you would probably be very surprised. You can tell very quickly what the return on investment will be and how much risk a tool like this can mitigate.

It's a little bit expensive. When you have a large organization, you would like to involve as many of your developers as possible. It's really expensive when you have 600 or 1,000 developers. That will push your price to close to $100,000 a year. So it's not a cheap solution. You have to create the correct interface to keep it in line with your budget. For us, there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees because we deploy it internally. If we deployed it in the cloud, we would incur infrastructure costs.
I think GitGuardian's price isn't too expensive. I'm not sure about any add-ons or additional costs because I wasn't involved in purchasing GitGuardian. I know the ballpark price, but I did not handle the pricing. Other people in our organization negotiated the pricing, but I'm not aware of any hidden costs or anything like that.

Its pricing is very reasonable for what it is. We don't have a huge number of users, but its yearly rate was quite reasonable when compared to other per-seat solutions that we looked at. I'm not aware of any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. Having a free plan for a small number of users was really great. If you're a small team, I don't see why you wouldn't want to get started with it.

I don't remember the specifics of the contract, but we have a one-year license for a set number of developers. It's reasonably priced.
The cost of the license is worth it. There aren't any additional costs.

With GitGuardian, we didn't need any middlemen.
