Comparison

VibeRaven vs Snyk

By Ohad Krispin, founder of VibeRaven · LinkedIn

Short answer

Pick Snyk when you need dependency vulnerabilities, containers and infrastructure as code covered: it is a mature commercial scanner with a free plan, and VibeRaven has no dependency rule at all. VibeRaven is a free, open source CLI for Vercel + Supabase repos that reads Supabase migrations and the app code around them, a layer Snyk Code does not cover, since SQL is not in its language list. On a Vercel + Supabase app they overlap very little, so running both is reasonable. VibeRaven is advice, not a gate, and a repository check, not a live database test.

Who should pick Snyk

Teams that need to know which of their dependencies, containers and cloud templates carry known vulnerabilities, with a database of advisories behind it. Snyk's free plan includes all four scanners (Open Source, Code, IaC and Container) with test limits: 200 Open Source tests, 100 Code tests a month, 300 IaC tests and 100 Container tests. The Team plan starts at $25 per month for teams of up to 10 developers, and Enterprise is priced through sales. Snyk Code covers 16 language families, from JavaScript and TypeScript to Java, Go and Python.

How to run both on one app

1
Connect the repo to Snyk, or run its CLI, and fix the dependency upgrades it marks as critical first. A known vulnerability in a package you ship is one of the few findings an attacker can find without reading your code.
2
Run VibeRaven on the same Vercel + Supabase repo for the Supabase layer: tables without RLS, policies that let anyone in, callable security definer functions and the service role key in client code. It exits with code 1 on a blocker.
Terminal
```
npx -y viberaven@1.7.8 check
```
3
Open the Supabase Security Advisor too. Neither Snyk nor VibeRaven reads the live database, and the Advisor does.

When to choose Snyk instead

You need dependency vulnerabilities found

Snyk Open Source checks your packages against its vulnerability database and suggests the upgrade. VibeRaven 1.7.8 has no dependency vulnerability rule; on our test app it said nothing about package versions.

You ship containers or infrastructure as code

Snyk Container and Snyk IaC read images and Terraform or Kubernetes files. VibeRaven has no rule for any of them.

Your code is in many languages

Snyk Code covers Java, Go, Python, PHP, Ruby, .NET and more. VibeRaven rules are written for Supabase migrations and JavaScript or TypeScript app code.

You need a vendor with support and reporting

Snyk sells Team and Enterprise plans with integrations and reporting. VibeRaven is a free CLI with no support contract.

How VibeRaven helps

Supabase migrations: SQL is not in Snyk Code's supported languages. On our test app on 2026-11-03, npx -y viberaven@1.7.8 check reported rls_disabled, rls_policy_allows_all_write and security_definer_function_executable, each with the migration file and line.
Supabase and Stripe in app code: it reported service_role_key_in_client_code for a client built from NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY and unverified_stripe_webhook for a route with no signature check. Both are provider rules, not a known vulnerability in a package.
No account and no test limit: it runs as often as you like, in about 2 seconds on our app, and the source is MIT licensed. It is a repository check for Vercel + Supabase apps, not a live database test: it does not connect to Supabase, Vercel or Stripe, and a clean result does not prove the app is secure.

Keep Snyk on your dependencies; add the repo check for the Supabase layer of a Vercel + Supabase app.

Snyk vs VibeRaven, side by side

Written by the maker of VibeRaven. Snyk facts are from its plans page and docs, read on 2026-11-03. We did not run Snyk for this page, because it needs an account; the VibeRaven column is from a real 1.7.8 run on one test app the same day.

Feature table

Snyk and VibeRaven, from Snyk plans and docs and a VibeRaven 1.7.8 run, 2026-11-03
	Snyk	VibeRaven
Dependency vulnerabilities	Yes, Snyk Open Source	No
Code flaws (SAST)	Yes, Snyk Code, 16 language families	No general SAST; provider rules only
Containers and IaC	Yes	No
Supabase SQL migrations: RLS, policies, security definer functions	No, SQL is not a Snyk Code language	Yes, from the migration files
Service role key in client code	Not a documented check	Yes, service_role_key_in_client_code
Stripe webhook with no signature check	Not a documented check	Yes, unverified_stripe_webhook
Free plan	$0, with test limits per product	Free, no limit, MIT license, no account
Paid	Team from $25 per month, up to 10 developers; Enterprise by quote	None for the CLI

The real VibeRaven run

Not reported: anything about the versions in package.json, a command injection in an export route, and raw HTML rendered from a note. Dependency versions are what Snyk Open Source is for. env_var_drift compares the code with .env.example; it cannot see Vercel settings.

Output

$ npx -y viberaven@1.7.8 check
🔴 No RLS policy proof in migrations  (rls_disabled)
🔴 A policy lets anyone write every row  (rls_policy_allows_all_write)
🔴 Service role key used in client code  (service_role_key_in_client_code)
🟡 Security definer function callable by the Data API roles  (security_definer_function_executable)
🟡 Stripe webhook does not verify the signature  (unverified_stripe_webhook)
🟡 Env vars used in code but missing from .env.example  (env_var_drift)
🟡 Database queries with no row limit  (unbounded_query)
⚪ No error monitoring detected  (missing_monitoring)
Verdict: ❌ 3 blockers, 4 warnings · score 5

FAQ for builders before launch

Does Snyk check Supabase RLS?

Not that its docs show: SQL is not among Snyk Code's supported languages, and we found no Supabase rule on its official pages. Use the Supabase Security Advisor for the live database and a migration check for the files.

Is Snyk free?

There is a $0 plan with all four scanners and test limits: 200 Open Source tests, 100 Code tests a month, 300 IaC and 100 Container tests. The Team plan starts at $25 per month for up to 10 developers.

Who are Snyk's main competitors?

For code and dependencies: Semgrep, GitHub code scanning and Dependabot, Aikido and Socket. Each covers a different mix; none of them reads Supabase policies.

Is npm audit enough instead of Snyk?

npm audit reports known advisories for your installed packages for free. Snyk adds its own database, fix suggestions and the code, container and IaC scanners. Neither reads your Supabase migrations.
