DevMeth vs LaunchGuard & UNPWNED
LaunchGuard and UNPWNED are real products in this space and we don't claim to be better at everything they do. Here's an honest comparison of where they differ.
The honest picture
- LaunchGuard is a live-app scanner with plain-English findings and re-scan proof — a strong outside-in check.
- UNPWNED runs 223 outside-in checks from the perimeter.
- Both focus primarily on the live, outside-in surface rather than scanning the source and pairing each finding with an AI fix prompt.
Where we fit
- Combines a REPO scan with a LIVE probe in one loop — source-level findings plus what's actually deployed.
- Every finding carries a paste-ready fix prompt for your AI tool, and re-scan confirms the fix flips green.
- Deterministic zero-FP bar on a fixed 30-pattern catalog.
- Honest scope: 48 known patterns, not 223 checks; not a pentest and not a security guarantee.
