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 $19/mo. Pay 3x more if you actually log users into your app.

Where VibeShield Wins

- 6,000+ Nuclei templates for known CVEs and misconfigs
- 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.

/ FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
01
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.
→
02
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.
→
03
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.
