AI SAST for dev teams vs. for founders

ShipSafe vsCorgea

Corgea is a genuinely good AI-native SAST with auto-fix, and, like us, it targets AI-written code. The difference is who it's for, and the receipt: ours re-checks each fixed file and says which findings it no longer detects, which are still there, and which it could not re-check.

The trade-off

The honest version

Credit where it's due: Corgea is one of the strongest AI-native SAST tools out there. It combines LLMs with AST analysis to find business-logic, auth, and code flaws, generates fixes, runs quality checks on them before making them available (per its docs), and opens a pull request with the change. It even layers on top of scanners like Semgrep, Snyk, and GitHub Advanced Security. If you're a dev or AppSec team, it's excellent.

That's also the difference. Corgea is built for engineering teams inside a PR/CI workflow — connect your scanners, get fixes as pull requests, review them in your pipeline. It assumes you already think like a security-minded developer.

ShipSafe is built for the founder who doesn't. Paste a GitHub URL — no scanner stack to connect, no CI — and get a plain-English report of what's exposed plus a fix prompt you drop straight into Cursor. On a subscription, one click sends the fixes to your GitHub for you to approve, with a receipt that says which findings the re-check no longer detects, which are still there, and which it could not re-check. Same enemy (AI-written bugs), different user.

What you learn after the fix

ShipSafeRe-checks each fixed file; the receipt says per finding: no longer detected, still there, or could not be re-checked

CorgeaRuns quality checks on a fix before making it available, and opens the PR with issue and fix context (per its docs)

Catches secrets in your deployed app

ShipSafeScans live JS bundles for keys shipped to the browser; run the CLI on your own machine and one read-only call to the provider proves the key is live

CorgeaSource/SAST scope, a bundle-only leak isn't in the repo

Review on every pull request

ShipSafeGitHub App: inline, diff-aware security review on the lines you changed, pass/fail check, no CI setup

CorgeaFix PRs plus checks, assumes you've wired up CI

Auto-remediation at codebase scale

ShipSafeOne click per scan: every fix we can make, sent to your GitHub as one change for approval; click again and the next run starts from what the last one learned

CorgeaMature engine that triages and fixes findings across a whole codebase

Where Corgea is the right call

You're a dev or AppSec team that wants AI fixes triaged across your existing scanners and delivered inside CI.
You already run Semgrep, Snyk, or GHAS and want AI to triage and fix their findings.
You live in a CI/PR workflow and want security to fit right there.
You want auto-remediation at scale across a codebase, not a one-shot read.

Where it leaves a solo founder exposed

It assumes a developer's PR/CI workflow — more than a founder wants for a quick safety check.
Best value comes when layered on a scanner stack you may not have.
Output is engineering-grade (fix PRs), not 'here's what's exposed' in plain English.
Onboarding and pricing are team-oriented, via sales.
Judging the change is still your job. Corgea runs quality checks on a fix before opening its pull request (per its docs); ShipSafe re-checks each fixed file after the change and tells you, per finding, which it no longer detects, which are still there, and which it could not re-check, so a non-dev knows where to look.
Source-level SAST won't catch a secret that only ships in your deployed JS bundle, and won't call the provider to prove a leaked key is still live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Corgea vs ShipSafe — aren't they the same?

Both target AI-written code with AI analysis, and both are good at it. The difference is the user: Corgea is built for dev/AppSec teams who want auto-fix pull requests inside CI. ShipSafe is built for a solo founder who pastes a GitHub URL and wants a plain-English answer, a fix prompt for Cursor, and — on a subscription — one click that sends the fixes to GitHub for approval, with a receipt.

Does ShipSafe fix my code for me?

On a subscription, yes. Click 'Send the fixes to GitHub' on a scan of a GitHub repository you can write to. ShipSafe writes every fix it can, re-checks each fixed file, and sends the changes to your GitHub as one pull request — GitHub's page for approving a change. Nothing changes in your project until you approve it — in ShipSafe, where ShipSafe then applies that one change for you under your own account, or on GitHub yourself. The receipt says which findings the re-check no longer detects, which are still there, and which it could not re-check. On the free plan you get the copy-paste fix prompt for your editor instead. Corgea also opens fix pull requests, and runs quality checks on a fix before making it available (per its docs).

Which is more accurate?

Both use AI for context-aware detection, and both check their fixes: Corgea runs quality checks on a fix before making it available (per its docs); ShipSafe re-checks each fixed file after the change and gives you the per-finding result. Use whichever matches how you work.

Can I use both?

Yes — ShipSafe for the fast plain-English read and a one-click fix with a receipt; Corgea if you want fixes triaged across your scanners inside a CI pipeline.

Same enemy. Built for you, not your CI.

Paste your GitHub URL. No scanner stack, no pipeline. The AI-code bugs that matter, in plain English, with a fix you paste into Cursor — or send to your GitHub with a receipt.
