Ubserve vs ScanVibe - vibe coding security scanner comparison for AI-built apps.

ScanVibe checks your URL. Ubserve starts with a free URL scan, then paid reports and audits unlock deeper RLS, BOLA, and service role key checks.

ScanVibe is useful for public URL checks. Ubserve starts with the public layer, then paid reports and audits add fix prompts, RLS logic, authorization checks, and service-role boundary review.

TL;DR

Choose ScanVibe if you only need a fast outside-in URL check. Choose Ubserve if you want the same starting point, plus a paid path into full reports, exact AI fix prompts, PDF export, scan history, and deeper audit coverage for auth, RLS, GitHub, and Supabase/Firebase risk.

The important distinction is simple: a URL scan can show what the public internet can see. A full audit can check whether your app's auth, database, and code paths actually protect user data.

What each scanner actually checks

Pricing fit

Ubserve's current motion is built around conversion from risk:

Stage What happens
Free URL scan No signup required. Enter a domain, get the issue count and a preview.
Paid report unlock Reveals the full findings, exact AI fix prompts, PDF export, and scan history.
Starter $19/mo billed annually, for one production app.
Pro $35/mo billed annually, for frequent shippers and more projects/audit capacity.
One-time audit $69 once, for a single urgent audit.

That matters because most founders do not want to pay before knowing whether anything meaningful was found. The scan creates the proof. The paid report and audit create the fix path.

Why URL scanning has a hard limit

URL scanning is useful, but it cannot inspect hidden trust boundaries.

A URL scanner can often tell whether a route exists, whether a header is missing, whether source maps are exposed, or whether a public JavaScript bundle contains suspicious strings. It cannot prove that your database policies are correctly scoped to the current user.

For example:

CREATE POLICY "read own records"
ON user_data FOR SELECT
USING (auth.role() = 'authenticated');

That policy can look fine from the outside because RLS exists. It is still unsafe if every authenticated user can read every row. The safer pattern is ownership-bound:

CREATE POLICY "read own records"
ON user_data FOR SELECT
USING (user_id = auth.uid());

Detecting that difference requires database or code-level context. That is why Ubserve separates the free URL scan from the paid full audit.

When ScanVibe is enough

ScanVibe or any lightweight URL scanner is a reasonable starting point when:

  • You want a quick outside-in check before a demo.
  • You only care about headers, SSL, public files, and visible bundle exposure.
  • You want recurring public-surface monitoring.
  • Your app is still a prototype with no real users or sensitive data.

That is real value. It just should not be confused with an authorization or database audit.

When Ubserve is the better fit

Ubserve is the better fit when:

  • Your app has real users, private data, subscriptions, payments, or admin screens.
  • You want to know whether the findings come with exact AI prompts to fix them.
  • You use Supabase or Firebase and need to verify data access rules.
  • You have GitHub code or commit history that may contain keys, logs, or unsafe patterns.
  • You are close to launch and need a clear ship-or-fix decision.

The failures that hurt vibe-coded apps are usually not just missing headers. They are broken auth assumptions, weak RLS policies, exposed service keys, source maps, and routes that trust a user id from the browser.

The best sequence

  1. Run the free Ubserve URL scan at ubserve.com/scan.
  2. If it finds issues, unlock the full report for exact findings and AI fix prompts.
  3. Run the full audit when you need RLS, API authorization, GitHub, Supabase/Firebase, and auth-flow checks.
  4. Fix the issues, then rescan before launch.

Bottom line

ScanVibe tells you what the public internet can see. Ubserve starts there, then gives you the paid path to understand what attackers can actually do through auth, database, code, and configuration mistakes.

Run the free Ubserve URL scan. If it finds issues, unlock the full report before your users or attackers discover the same gaps.

FAQs

What does ScanVibe scan?+
ScanVibe is positioned around passive URL scanning. It can check the public surface of a deployed app, such as SSL, headers, visible files, JavaScript bundle exposure, CORS, and similar outside-in signals.
What does ScanVibe miss?+
Any URL-only scanner is structurally limited. It cannot prove whether Supabase RLS policies reference auth.uid() correctly, whether API routes enforce object ownership, whether server actions are protected, or whether a service role key leaks through code import chains.
What does Ubserve scan that ScanVibe does not?+
Ubserve starts with a free URL scan for public frontend risks. Paid Ubserve reports unlock full findings and exact fix prompts. The full audit adds deeper checks for RLS policy logic, API authorization, GitHub/code exposure, Supabase/Firebase configuration, service role boundaries, and auth-flow behavior.
Is ScanVibe free?+
Check ScanVibe directly for current pricing and limits. Ubserve lets you run the URL scan without signup, then paid plans unlock the full report, exact fix prompts, PDF export, scan history, and full audit coverage.
Should I use both Ubserve and ScanVibe?+
You can. Use URL scans for quick outside-in checks. Use Ubserve when you need the full report, exact AI fix prompts, and deeper audit coverage for the vulnerabilities that URL-only scanners cannot verify.
