VibeShield Alternative: How ShipGuard Approaches Pre-Launch Scanning
Updated 2026-10-17
If you're comparing pre-launch scanners for AI-built apps, the useful questions are what gets scanned, how findings are verified, and how fast you can fix them. We only describe ShipGuard's own features here. We don't make claims about other products' features, pricing or accuracy — they change, and you should check each vendor's current documentation. Use the criteria below to evaluate any scanner, including ours.
| Criterion | ShipGuard | VibeShield |
|---|---|---|
| What is scanned | Deployed public site (HTML, same-site JS bundles, headers, well-known paths) | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Requires repo / account access | No | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Active testing (logins, fuzzing) | No — passive only | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Stack-specific fix prompts (Lovable/Bolt/Cursor/v0) | Yes | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Supabase RLS SQL generation | Yes | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Embeddable production badge | Yes (Verified Production-Safe, Vibe-Guard) | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Heuristic vs confirmed labelling | Yes, per finding | Check VibeShield's documentation |
| Price | Free scan; Launch Pass $29 one-time; Vibe-Guard $99/yr | Check VibeShield's pricing page |
What ShipGuard does
- Scans the deployed public URL passively (read-only GET requests, ~25s budget, 8s per-request timeout).
- Checks: secrets in client bundles (Stripe sk_live_/rk_live_, OpenAI sk-proj-, Anthropic sk-ant-, Supabase service_role / sb_secret_, Resend re_), Supabase schema & bucket enumeration with the public anon key, public .env/.git/source maps (content-validated), HSTS/CSP/X-Frame-Options/nosniff/HTTPS/CORS.
- Every finding is labelled Heuristic match (pattern in public files) or Confirmed (observed in an HTTP response).
- Copy-paste fix prompts tailored for Lovable, Bolt, Cursor and v0.
- Supabase RLS SQL generator — in reports for enumerable tables, and as a free tool at /tools/rls-generator.
- Verified Production-Safe badge for Continuous Vibe-Guard subscribers while their latest scan (≤35 days old) grades A or B.
- Detected secrets are redacted to the first 6 characters before storage.
How to evaluate any scanner
Run each scanner against a staging copy of your own app with a deliberately planted test key (a revoked one) and an intentionally missing header. Compare which findings each reports, how clearly each distinguishes guesses from confirmed observations, and how actionable the fix guidance is for your stack.
