What is the best AI security scanner for startups in 2026?

VigilFlux is built specifically for startups and indie hackers who need automated security testing without a dedicated security team. It deploys 7 AI-powered agents in an intelligent pipeline that adapts to your app's tech stack. The free tier includes 3 scans per month with all 7 agents. Setup takes under 5 minutes, no credit card required.

How much does VigilFlux cost?

VigilFlux has two pricing models. Pay Per Scan: buy credit packs starting at $25 for 5 scans ($5/scan) or $45 for 10 scans ($4.50/scan) — credits never expire. Subscription: Free plan (3 scans/month, 1 domain, 3 GitHub repos), Pro at $29/month or $278/year (30 scans/month, 5 domains, unlimited GitHub repos, priority queue, PDF/JSON export), and Enterprise with custom pricing. All plans include all 7 AI agents.

How does VigilFlux compare to Snyk, Semgrep, CodeQL, and Aikido?

VigilFlux is the only tool that combines SAST, DAST, network scanning, and AI-powered exploit verification in a single platform starting at $0/month. Snyk starts at $25/dev/month (minimum 5 devs) but has no DAST. GitHub CodeQL is free for public repos but GitHub-only and SAST-only. Semgrep starts at $40/contributor/month with no DAST. Aikido starts at ~$250/month for 10 users.

What is white-box scanning and how does it work?

White-box scanning gives VigilFlux access to your source code for deeper analysis. The code indexer agent performs a shallow clone and extracts routes, authentication patterns, and database queries. This context is fed to scanning agents so they target real endpoints instead of guessing. Available on all plans, it significantly reduces false positives.

What is exploit verification (proof-of-exploit)?

Unlike most scanners that only flag potential vulnerabilities, VigilFlux includes an exploit verifier agent that confirms findings are actually exploitable. It generates safe payloads, fires them against your application, and records the response as proof. Verified findings include a PoC curl command and response snippet, eliminating false positives.

Does VigilFlux offer AI-generated fix suggestions?

Yes. For every vulnerability found during a PR scan, VigilFlux generates AI-powered fix suggestions using Claude. Fixes are posted as inline code suggestions directly in your GitHub pull request or GitLab merge request — apply them with one click. Pro plans include up to 5 AI fix suggestions per scan.

Can I integrate VigilFlux with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD?

Yes. Install the VigilFlux GitHub App to automatically scan every pull request for vulnerabilities — findings appear as inline PR comments with fix suggestions. For GitLab, connect via OAuth to scan merge requests. Pro and Enterprise plans include API tokens for custom CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).

What types of vulnerabilities does VigilFlux detect?

VigilFlux tests for SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), open ports and exposed services, outdated software with known CVEs, server misconfigurations, default credentials, directory traversal, SSRF, and more. With white-box scanning enabled, it also analyzes source code for authentication bypasses, hardcoded secrets, and insecure database queries.

What is the VigilFlux risk score?

The risk score is a 0-100 health score where 100 means no vulnerabilities found and 0 means critical issues detected. Scores are categorized as Safe (90-100), Low Risk (70-89), Medium Risk (40-69), High Risk (20-39), and Critical (0-19). The score updates in real time as agents complete their scans.

Is VigilFlux safe to use on production websites?

Yes. VigilFlux requires domain ownership verification before scanning. Scan aggression levels are configurable — the default safe mode avoids destructive testing. The AI supervisor filters out dangerous test cases, and exploit verification uses safe, non-destructive payloads.
