Our take
What our shortlists say about each one.
- Escape API Security
Best for: Teams finding and testing APIs before they ship
The fit is AppSec and DevSecOps teams that want to catch API flaws in the pipeline. The trade-off: Escape tests and inventories APIs, it does not block attacks inline. Pair it with a WAF or an inline API protection solution from this list if you need runtime blocking. Price is not published.

- Snyk Code
Best for: Teams wanting scanning inside the IDE and pull requests
It earns a place because it scans without a build, in seconds to minutes, so the check fits inside the developer's own loop and not a nightly job. That suits teams of any size where developers own their fixes. If source code privacy is a hard rule for you, ask exactly where your code is processed, since it runs as a cloud service.
