Snyk scans your code. Fasrad scans your code and the live app it became.

Snyk scans source and dependencies in CI. Fasrad does that too, then scans your live app from outside for the leaks code scanners can't see.

Snyk scans your code and dependencies in CI. Fasrad runs the same dependency, code and secret scans on your repo, probes the live app from the outside for runtime data exposure, and then explains each finding and writes the fix.

Same scans on the code, plus the layer Snyk can't see

The 2025 incident that exposed 170+ Lovable-generated apps didn't come from a vulnerable dependency. It came from Row Level Security left switched off, a runtime misconfiguration no code scanner can see.

Snyk is a developer security platform. Plug it into your IDE, repo and CI and it scans your dependencies for known CVEs, your code for insecure patterns, and your containers and infrastructure-as-code. Fasrad runs the same classes of check on the code side. It clones your repo (public or private) and runs dependency, static-analysis and secret scanning.

Two things set it apart. Fasrad also scans the live, deployed app from the outside, and that's where most AI-built apps actually get breached, so it checks both surfaces. And it's an agent. It filters out build-time dependency noise, explains each finding in plain language and writes the fix, and it's also your email, calendar and notes assistant.

How they split:

Snyk is a developer platform, with code-side coverage across many languages gated into a team's CI pipeline through IDE plugins and dashboards.
Fasrad runs the same classes of code, dependency and secret scan, filters the build-time noise and covers the live app too. Then it explains and fixes the findings, and you never run a security platform.
Both scan your code. Fasrad adds the live-app layer and the agent around it.

Pick Fasrad if you shipped an AI-built app and want one agent watching your code and your live app, telling you in plain language what to fix first.

Frequently asked questions

What does Snyk do?

Snyk is a developer-first security platform. It scans your source code (SAST), open-source dependencies (SCA), containers and infrastructure-as-code inside your IDE, repo and CI pipeline. It's built for engineering teams and priced per contributing developer: a free tier with limited monthly tests, then Team from about $25/developer/month.

Does Fasrad scan my code and dependencies, like Snyk?

Yes. Connect a repo, public or private, and it runs the same classes of scan: dependency/SCA analysis for known CVEs, static analysis (SAST) for insecure code, and secret detection. It filters out build-time and dev-only dependency noise so the grade reflects what reaches production. It also scans your live app from the outside for runtime data exposure (broken RLS, exposed keys, open Firebase), which Snyk's code scan doesn't cover.

How is Fasrad different from Snyk?

Snyk is a developer platform that scans source, dependencies and containers across many languages, with IDE plugins, pull-request gating and team dashboards for engineering teams. Fasrad runs the same classes of scan (dependency/SCA, static analysis and secret detection) tuned for AI-built JS/TS apps. Then it probes your live, deployed app from the outside for runtime data exposure, the layer Snyk's code scan can't see. Because it's an agent, it explains each finding in plain language and writes the fix for you.

Do I have to connect my code?

No. You can start with just your live URL and get the runtime data-exposure scan (RLS, exposed keys, headers). Connect a repo when you also want dependency, code and secret scanning. Private repos use a token that's never written to disk or logs.

How much does it cost?

Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. The free scan needs no account, and the always-on agent is included with fasrad. Setup takes about four minutes. fasrad is in public beta.
