Where Snyk wins
If you need dependency vulnerability scanning, container image scanning, or infrastructure-as-code checks across a large org, Snyk’s platform is mature and broad. It’s a strong default for supply-chain risk.
Where Prbl is different
Snyk wasn’t built to ask whether a specific file came from an AI coding tool. Prbl is. That distinction matters because AI-generated code fails in a narrow, predictable set of ways — hardcoded credentials in migration files, missing authentication on scaffolded CRUD routes, fallback secrets in environment variable lookups, Broken Object Level Authorization — that general-purpose scanners weren’t tuned to prioritize.
Run both
These aren’t competing tools. Snyk covers the dependency and infrastructure surface; Prbl covers the “did an AI tool just write something dangerous” surface. Teams using Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code heavily get more signal running Prbl alongside Snyk than from either alone.
