VibeShield Alternative: VibeEval vs VibeShield
VibeShield (vibeshield.me) targets the same audience as VibeEval - vibe coders shipping Lovable / Cursor apps. Their differentiator is price ($6.39/mo). The trade-off is depth.
TL;DR: VibeShield is a Nuclei-style template scanner with a friendly UI for $6.39/mo. VibeEval is a full DAST with authenticated scanning, IDOR detection, and Supabase RLS live probes for $49/mo. Pay 3x more if you actually log users into your app.

- Clean UI with plain-English findings
- Specialized checks for Supabase RLS, Firebase rules at the URL layer
Where VibeShield Falls Short
NO AUTH
Unauthenticated scans only. Never sees the bugs behind your login.
NO IDOR
Cross-user testing requires two authenticated sessions. Not in scope.
CREDIT-METERED
10 credits/mo on Pro. Heavy users pay per extra scan.
TEMPLATE-BOUND
Only catches what's in the Nuclei library. Vibe-coding-specific patterns (e.g. service_role key returned in `/api/me`) are not template-detectable.

Common questions
What does VibeShield actually scan?
Unauthenticated URL surface - security headers, SSL config, exposed admin pages, known CVEs in Nuclei's template library. Useful, but it never logs into your app.
Why does authenticated scanning matter?
The bugs that take down vibe-coded apps are behind the login. IDOR on `/api/users/:id`, broken RLS, exposed user data - none of these are visible from outside the auth wall. VibeEval logs in as two test users and probes.
Is the credit system a problem?
Pro tier is 10 credits/mo. Each Complete Scan is 2 credits, so 5 full scans/month. Extra credits at $0.99 each. Vibe coders shipping daily can burn through that fast. VibeEval has unlimited rescans on Pro.
