Traditional SAST tools find generic patterns. Spotter finds exploitable vulnerabilities in your actual business logic with proof, not guesses.
Semgrep relies on static pattern matching. Spotter reasons about your architecture and validates exploitability finding 7x more vulnerabilities with 94% fewer false positives.
View Comparison →SonarQube is a code quality tool with security bolted on. Spotter is security-first purpose-built to find authorization flaws and business logic bugs SonarQube cannot detect.
View Comparison →Snyk excels at dependency scanning (SCA). For first-party code vulnerabilities IDOR, auth bypasses, business logic flaws Spotter finds 10x more with exploit validation.
