Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Semgrep Code
Best for: Security teams that want to write their own rules
It earns its place because a security team can turn its own secure coding standards into guardrails that run on every pull request and block whole classes of flaws. It fits companies from startups to enterprises. Semgrep Assistant uses an outside AI model to triage findings, so check how that fits your rules on code privacy.
