SafeLaunch vs VibeEval: which fits your AI-built app?
The short answer
VibeEval leans into autonomous, agent-based testing and supports private projects, on a subscription. SafeLaunch is a fast repo-and-live-site scan that returns paste-ready fix prompts and a public verified badge, at $19 one-time. Which fits depends on whether you want deep agent-driven testing or a quick, provable launch check.
What VibeEval is
VibeEval, per its site, runs deeper agent-based security testing on vibe-coded apps, works with private projects, and prices around $19/month or $199 lifetime. It positions itself against tools like Snyk by arguing that reading code isn't enough — you have to run the app to catch runtime and RLS issues.
Where SafeLaunch fits
SafeLaunch agrees that running the app matters — it checks the live site as well as the repo — but it's built for the moment of launch, not continuous agent testing. You get a score, a verdict, a fix prompt for each finding, and a public verified badge and directory listing. It's the fast, provable "am I safe to launch?" answer rather than an ongoing testing platform.
