DepWarden: The Free-Tier Trojan Horse for Agency Security Retainers

DepWarden's free tier (100 scans/month, 3 projects) lets agencies run a zero-cost proof-of-concept for clients, then convert them to a $99/mo Team plan that includes SAST and build gating. This creates a low-friction entry point for a recurring security retainer, especially for agencies that already manage client CI/CD pipelines.
