Superagent delivers on its promise of PR-based vulnerability remediation. Its agent-driven approach and GitHub-native features cut through noise and save time. However, it's GitHub-only and still maturing, so it's best for teams already in that ecosystem and comfortable with automated patching.
Skip Superagent if Skip Superagent if you don't use GitHub or prefer traditional vulnerability scanners without automated patching.

How we score →Superagent is an AI security platform built to continuously find, patch, and disclose vulnerabilities in both code and AI agents. Every fix is delivered as a pull request, compressing the remediation cycle from months to hours. Designed for development and security teams, it uses agent-driven research with human oversight to triage findings, surface real exploit paths, and automate patching — cutting through false-positive noise that traditional scanners produce. The platform integrates into your existing CI/CD pipeline, running on every PR, nightly, or release to protect repositories, agents, and applications before deployment. Unlike conventional scanners that only generate alerts, Superagent chains vulnerabilities like a real attacker to build kill chains, then automatically generates patches. The platform’s GitHub-native repository protection lets teams configure repos, trigger adversarial tests on GitHub events, manage CLAs, and triage security advisories from a single dashboard. The Deep Contributor Credit Score adds trust signals to each patch, reducing the risk from untrusted contributions. Superagent also offers brin.sh, a free, no-auth real-time threat detection service that scores content before an agent consumes it, and partners with dotenvx to harden open-source packages. The platform is backed by Y Combinator and has an open-source community with over 10,000 GitHub stars. For teams already on GitHub, Superagent is a pragmatic alternative to noise-generating scanners like Snyk or Dependabot — it doesn’t just alert, it fixes. However, it’s GitHub-only and still maturing, making it best for teams comfortable with automated patching and eager to close vulnerabilities faster.
If your team lives on GitHub and is drowning in security alerts that never lead to fixes, Superagent is worth a serious look. It doesn’t just find vulnerabilities — it writes the PR to patch them. That’s a real time-saver, especially when you’re dealing with open-source repos or fast-moving CI/CD pipelines. Where it shines is the automated kill-chain analysis. Traditional scanners like Snyk or Dependabot surface individual CVEs but don’t show how an attacker could chain them. Superagent does. It groups related issues, shows the exploit path, and then patches the root cause. The Deep Contributor Credit Score is a clever addition — it helps maintainers decide whether to trust a patch from a new contributor. But it’s not for everyone. If you’re on GitLab or Bitbucket, you’re out of luck — Superagent is GitHub-only. And if your team prefers manual patching or has a simple codebase that doesn’t need agent-driven complexity, this might be overkill. The platform is also relatively young; some features like the notifications feed and kanban board were only added in mid-2026. In practice, we’d reach for Superagent when we have a public open-source project with many contributors, or a private repo that needs continuous security without hiring a full-time vuln team. For small side projects, the open-source tier is free and sufficient. For larger teams, the custom private tier gives deeper research and a managed security team. Compared to Snyk, Superagent wins on automation (PR generation) but loses on multi-platform support. Snyk supports GitLab, Bitbucket, and more, while Superagent is locked to GitHub. If you’re all-in on GitHub, Superagent is a strong contender. If not, you’ll have to wait.

Open Source
$0/mo
Ideal for
Open-source maintainers with public GitHub repos who need automated vulnerability patching for free.
What this tier adds
Free entry point for public repos; includes vulnerability finding, patching, contributor trust scoring, and supply-chain protection.
Private
Custom
Ideal for
Teams with private repositories and agents needing deeper vulnerability research and managed security team support.
What this tier adds
Adds private repos, agent scanning, deeper vulnerability research, and a managed security team. Custom pricing.
The company stage and team size where Superagent's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
Superagent's free tier for public repos is generous for open-source projects. The Private plan is custom-priced, likely competitive with Snyk or Semgrep for automated patching, but adds agent-driven research. Enterprises needing agent security will pay more. Brin.sh is free and no-auth.

For a GitHub user, add Superagent's GitHub App (minutes). Configure repositories and CLA templates in the dashboard (another 15-30 minutes). First scan runs on next PR or trigger; expect first findings within hours. Brin.sh is zero-setup: just call the API endpoint.
