DevMeth vs Snyk & Semgrep
Snyk and Semgrep are powerful, mature SAST tools that security teams use on real codebases. They're excellent at what they do. Our product targets a different user with different findings — here's the honest difference.
The honest picture
- Snyk and Semgrep are developer/security-team SAST platforms — deep dependency & static analysis with rich rule ecosystems and CWE/severity terminology.
- They are repo-focused; neither is built around scanning a deployed AI-built app's live surface or producing fix prompts an AI tool can paste.
- They are priced and tuned for teams, not for a solo founder's Lovable app.
Where we fit
- Speaks plain English to app builders: checks the 48 known AI-code failure patterns, no CWE jargon.
- Scans both the repo AND the live surface (Supabase RLS, Firebase rules, exposed git, headers) — a two-surface loop most SAST tools don't have.
- Every finding carries a paste-ready fix prompt for your AI tool, and re-scan confirms the fix.
- Deterministic zero-FP bar on a fixed set of patterns — designed for one person to understand and act on.

DevMeth checks the 48 known AI-code failure patterns — not a penetration test or a security guarantee. This comparison notes where tools differ; it is not a claim that any tool is better at everything.
