9 real security tools for AI-built apps, compared on what they actually scan, real pricing, and honest pros and cons. No filler entries.

Most vibe coding tool lists either skip the tools built for vibe coders entirely, or pad the list with scanners that barely function. Here are the 9 that are actually worth your time.

"Vibe coding security tool" now returns two completely different kinds of results depending on where you look. Search it on Google and you mostly get enterprise AppSec platforms (Snyk, Checkmarx, Semgrep) writing blog content about AI-generated code. Ask actual vibe coders on Reddit and you get a handful of small, purpose-built scanners nobody's written a proper comparison of yet. This is that comparison, 9 real tools, tested against what they actually scan and what they actually cost, not what their landing pages imply.

We run Ubserve, one of the 9 tools below, so treat that stake for what it's worth. Every fact in this piece, pricing, features, positioning, came from each tool's own site, not from us guessing.

The two categories that actually exist

Every tool here falls into one of two buckets:

Built specifically for vibe-coded apps. These scan a live URL, no source code access needed, and are tuned to the mistakes AI coding tools actually make: Supabase RLS left off, a service role key sitting in a client bundle, an API route with no auth check. Ubserve, VibeAppScanner, CheckVibe, Vibe-Eval, and AuditYourApp all live here.

General AppSec platforms with AI-code features bolted on. Aikido, Semgrep, Snyk, and Socket.dev all existed before "vibe coding" was a phrase. They scan source code, dependencies, and cloud infrastructure, and have all shipped a specific feature or product line for AI-generated code in the last year or two. They're not built for a solo founder shipping from Cursor, but they cover real risk (like malicious npm packages) that none of the vibe-native tools touch.

Vibe-native tools

Ubserve

Ubserve homepage

Ubserve scans a live URL for the specific failure patterns we see across 876 real production scans: missing or misconfigured Row Level Security, exposed service role keys, unauthenticated API endpoints, and public storage buckets.

Pricing: Free URL scan, no signup. Paid unlocks the full report, exact AI fix prompts, and deeper audit coverage: Starter $19/mo, Pro $35/mo (both billed annually), or a $69 one-time audit.

Pros: Free scan needs no signup. Checks go past "RLS is on" to whether the policy logic actually scopes rows to the right user, the distinction that matters (see our guide to fixing missing RLS). Fix prompts are written for Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, and Claude specifically.

Cons: Full report and the deeper audit are paid. Security-only scope, no SEO or performance bundled in.

Best for: Founders who want a straight answer on exploitable risk before launch, not a bundled multi-tool.

VibeAppScanner

VibeAppScanner homepage

VibeAppScanner runs a live-URL scan and, as of their latest update, can also be driven directly from an AI coding agent over MCP, meaning Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf can trigger a scan without you leaving your editor.

Pricing: First scan free. Go tier $19/mo (20 scans, 3 projects). Pro tier $39/mo (150 scans, 10 projects, weekly automated deep scan and monitoring).

Pros: MCP integration is a genuine differentiator, none of the other 8 tools here offer agent-driven scanning. Cheap entry point once you're past the free scan.

Cons: Every plan now bundles SEO, AI-search-readiness, performance, accessibility, and email checks alongside security. If what you actually want is a deep security-only tool, that breadth is a distraction, not a feature, and it's worth asking whether the security checks get the same depth as a security-only competitor.

Best for: Teams already living inside an AI coding agent who want scans triggered without switching tools.

CheckVibe

CheckVibe homepage

CheckVibe runs 100+ checks across six areas in a single scan: security, SEO, AEO (whether ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can find and cite the site), performance, uptime monitoring, and compliance (cookies, WCAG, email auth).

Pricing: Free scan. Paid plans unlock full findings, fixes, monitoring, and API access, exact tier pricing isn't published on their site.

Pros: If you genuinely want one scan covering security and marketing-adjacent checks, this is the most complete single option here. Has an MCP server for Cursor/Claude. Runs a real affiliate program (30% commission per referral), disclosed here since we may earn from a signup through this page.

Cons: Same tradeoff as VibeAppScanner, six pillars in one scan means security is one of six priorities, not the whole product. No published pricing makes it hard to compare cost upfront.

Best for: Founders who want security, SEO, and AI-citability checked in one pass and don't mind less specialization on any single pillar.

Vibe-Eval

Vibe-Eval homepage

Vibe-Eval covers more AI coding platforms than anyone else on this list: Lovable, Bolt.new, v0, Cursor, Claude Code, Replit, Base44, Figma Make, and Windsurf. Their stated process has a "security engineer verifies every finding" before it reaches you, a claim worth testing yourself since we haven't independently verified it.

Pricing: Free surface scan. Paid "Deep Agent Scan" tests RLS policies, auth bypasses, and API authorization, with a 14-day free trial. Exact price isn't published.

Pros: Widest platform support of any tool on this list. Human-verification claim, if accurate, would reduce false positives compared to a fully automated scan.

Cons: No disclosed pricing anywhere on their site. The human-verification claim is theirs, not something we've confirmed independently.

Best for: Teams on a less common AI builder (Figma Make, Base44) that other scanners don't explicitly support.

AuditYourApp

AuditYourApp homepage

AuditYourApp goes deeper on Supabase and Firebase specifically than any other tool here, including "RLS Logic Fuzzing" that tests for business-logic flaws, not just whether RLS is switched on. It's also the only tool on this list that scans mobile app packages (APK/IPA) for embedded API keys.

Pricing: Single Snapshot $49 one-time. Continuous Guard $29/mo (recommended, adds biweekly automated scans). Expert Architecture Review $499 (human-led).

Pros: Mobile key scanning is unique among the tools here. RLS logic fuzzing goes further than a simple on/off RLS check.

Cons: No free tier, the cheapest option is a $49 one-time scan. Narrower scope than Ubserve or CheckVibe, this is a specialist tool for BaaS misconfiguration specifically.

Best for: Apps with a mobile client, or teams that already know RLS is on and want to know if the policy logic itself has holes.

Self-serve enterprise and technical tools

These four are general AppSec platforms, not vibe-coding-specific products. Include them if your app has grown past a single frontend, or if you want source-code and dependency coverage a live-URL scanner structurally can't provide.

Aikido

Aikido homepage

Aikido covers SAST, dependency scanning (SCA), secrets detection, cloud posture (CSPM), container and Kubernetes scanning, DAST, and a runtime firewall, in one platform. It markets an "AI Code Quality" review feature, but the product isn't built around vibe-coding workflows the way the five tools above are.

Pricing: Free (2 users, 10 repos). Basic $300/mo. Pro $600/mo. Enterprise custom.

Pros: Genuinely broad, one login for code, cloud, and runtime security once an app has real infrastructure behind it.

Cons: The jump from free to $300/mo is steep for a solo builder. Not vibe-coding-specific messaging or fix prompts.

Best for: A team that's outgrown "one frontend, one Supabase project" and needs cloud and container coverage too.

Semgrep

Semgrep homepage

Semgrep is a static analysis (SAST) engine with a named feature, Semgrep Guardian, built specifically to scan and fix AI-generated code at the moment it's written, directly inside the editor or CI pipeline.

Pricing: Free for up to 10 contributors (Code + Supply Chain scanning included). Teams $30/mo per contributor. Enterprise custom.

Pros: Real, usable free tier. Semgrep Guardian is a genuine, named response to AI-generated code risk, not just marketing language.

Cons: Static analysis only, no live-URL scanning, so it can't catch a Supabase RLS policy that's technically present but wrong, or a key that's actually exposed in a deployed bundle. That gap is exactly what the five vibe-native tools above exist to close.

Best for: Catching insecure patterns in AI-generated code before it ships, as a complement to a live-site scanner, not a replacement for one.

Snyk

Snyk homepage

Snyk now positions its entire platform around AI, branded the "Snyk AI Security Fabric," covering SCA, SAST, IaC, container security, and DAST for APIs and web apps, plus a layer aimed specifically at governing AI coding agents.

Pricing: Free tier. Team $25+/mo. Ignite $1,260+/year for full platform access. Enterprise custom.

Pros: Broadest single-vendor coverage of the four enterprise tools here. Explicit, current investment in AI-agent and AI-generated-code security, not a bolted-on afterthought.

Cons: Ignite pricing is a real jump for a solo founder. DAST is scoped to general APIs and web apps, not tuned to Supabase/Firebase BaaS patterns the way AuditYourApp or Ubserve are.

Best for: A growing team that wants one vendor across code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure, and is willing to pay enterprise pricing for it.

Socket.dev

Socket.dev homepage

Socket solves a different problem than every other tool on this list: malicious or compromised open-source packages. It scans JavaScript, Python, and Go dependencies for 70+ risk types, including supply-chain attacks where a legitimate-looking package ships malware. AI coding assistants frequently suggest and auto-install packages with little review, which makes this risk more relevant to vibe coding than it might first appear.

Pricing: Free. Team $25/mo per developer. Business $50/mo per developer. Enterprise custom.

Pros: Covers a real risk category (malicious packages) that none of the other 8 tools here check at all. Transparent, self-serve, per-developer pricing.

Cons: Doesn't scan your deployed app at all, no RLS, no exposed keys, no headers. This is a dependency-security tool, not a substitute for a live-site scanner.

Best for: Any team pulling in third-party packages through an AI assistant, which is most vibe-coded apps, as a supplement to, not a replacement for, one of the tools above.

Which one do you actually need

If you've shipped a Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, or v0 app and just want to know what's exploitable right now, start with a live-URL scanner, Ubserve, VibeAppScanner, CheckVibe, or Vibe-Eval all give you a free first read. If your app leans hard on Supabase or Firebase and you want the deepest possible check on RLS logic specifically, AuditYourApp is worth the $49. None of that requires touching your source code or CI pipeline.

Once your app has real users, a team, or dependencies you didn't personally choose (which describes almost every vibe-coded app), a source-code and dependency layer stops being optional. Semgrep's free tier and Socket.dev's free tier are both worth adding at that point, they catch categories of risk a URL scan structurally cannot see.

Whatever you pick, run it before you assume "the AI wrote it, so it's probably fine." Our own breakdown of real vibe-coding vulnerabilities found the failure patterns are consistent and predictable, which is exactly why tools built to catch them work.

Run the free scan at ubserve.com/scan. If it finds something, the full report, exact fix prompts, and PDF export are one click away.

FAQs

What is a vibe coding security tool?+
A vibe coding security tool checks apps built with AI coding assistants (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, v0, Replit, Claude Code) for the specific mistakes those tools tend to introduce: missing Supabase or Firebase Row Level Security, API keys leaked into the frontend bundle, unauthenticated endpoints, and misconfigured CORS or storage buckets.
What's the difference between a vibe-native scanner and a general AppSec platform?+
Vibe-native scanners (Ubserve, VibeAppScanner, CheckVibe, Vibe-Eval, AuditYourApp) are built around a single deployed URL and the BaaS patterns AI tools generate. General AppSec platforms (Aikido, Semgrep, Snyk, Socket.dev) scan source code, dependencies, and infrastructure, and have added AI-generated-code features on top of an existing enterprise product.
Is a free vibe coding security scanner good enough?+
A free scan is a reasonable first check, most of the tools here offer one, but free tiers are usually capped on scan frequency or finding detail. Treat a free scan as a smoke test, not a launch gate.
Do I need both a live-site scanner and a source-code scanner?+
For most teams, yes, eventually. A live-site scanner (Ubserve, VibeAppScanner, CheckVibe, Vibe-Eval, AuditYourApp, SafeToShip-style tools) catches what's actually exposed in production. A source-code scanner (Semgrep, Snyk, Aikido) catches insecure patterns before they ship and covers dependency risk a URL scan can't see.
Which vibe coding security tool is cheapest to start with?+
Ubserve, VibeAppScanner, CheckVibe, and Vibe-Eval all offer a free first scan with no signup. Paid tiers start around $19 to $39 a month across the vibe-native tools, well below the enterprise platforms, which start free but jump to $300+/month once you need real usage.
