VIBEEVAL VS BACKSLASH
Backslash (backslash.security) is enterprise governance for the AI dev ecosystem — which MCPs are vetted, which IDEs are hardened, which prompt rules apply. VibeEval is the runtime check on what your team actually shipped.
TL;DR: Backslash is a governance plane for enterprise AI development. Pricing is sales-led. VibeEval is a $19/mo DAST that runs your live app and proves what's exploitable. Pick Backslash if you're a CISO at a Fortune 500. Pick VibeEval if you ship apps and need to know they work.

Where Backslash Wins
- Inventory and governance across diverse AI dev tooling at enterprise scale
- MCP server vetting before they extend production LLMs
- IDE hardening with file-access and permission policies
- Centralized prompt rules that propagate security best practices
Where Backslash Falls Short for Vibe Coders
NO LIVE APP TESTING
Governs what gets used to write code. Does not test the resulting deployed app.
ENTERPRISE-ONLY
Sales-led pricing, demo-first onboarding. Wrong shape for solo founders.
SUPPLY CHAIN, NOT APP
Solves \"which MCP can my dev install\" not \"is my app currently exploitable.\"
NO IDOR / RLS LIVE PROBE
Cannot exercise the running app to confirm cross-user data leaks.

When to Pick Backslash
- Enterprise CISO managing 100+ developers using AI tools
- Need MCP / IDE / prompt-rule governance across diverse stacks

When to Pick VibeEval
- You ship vibe-coded apps and need to verify they’re safe
- You’re solo or small team
- You want runtime exploit proof, not generation-time governance
Best Together
Backslash governs the dev pipeline. VibeEval verifies what came out of it. Enterprise teams that take AI dev security seriously usually have both.

/ FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
01
What does Backslash actually do?
Three things: (1) inventory of which AI agents, models, and MCP servers your developers use, (2) hardening configs for IDEs and agentic AI, (3) centralized prompt rules so generated code follows your standards. It is governance, not scanning.

02
Does Backslash test my deployed app?
No. The platform focuses on the development supply chain. Whether the app you shipped has IDOR, missing RLS, or exposed keys is outside scope. VibeEval covers exactly that.
→
03
Why pick VibeEval if I already have Backslash?
They solve different problems. Backslash prevents bad MCPs and risky IDE configs. VibeEval verifies the running app. Most enterprises run both layers.
