Against the alternatives
There are a dozen scanners. There is one of me.
Every tool below finds roughly the same problems, because they mostly wrap the same open-source scanners. What none of them include is an hour of a senior engineer who has shipped software at DHL and AT&T, and a document you can hand an investor.
| What | Seaworthy | Typical AI-app scanner | A freelance audit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free grade from your live URL | Yes, no account | Usually yes | No |
| Findings in plain English | Yes | Yes, most of them now | Depends who you hire |
| A fix you can paste into the tool that built the app | Yes, written for your specific tool | Some, model-generated | No, you get a report |
| Time with a named senior engineeronly here | 30 minutes on every paid tier, 60 on Verified | No. Support tickets | Yes, that is what you are buying |
| A signed letter you can send an investoronly here | Yes, on Verified | No | Rarely, and not standardised |
| Before and after measurementonly here | Yes, the grade moves or it does not | Re-scan, no baseline kept | No |
| Portfolio view for a fund or acceleratoronly here | Yes | No | No |
| Never writes to your app | Yes, and the write probe is forbidden in code | Usually | Depends on scope |
| Runs entirely on your machinethey win | No. We clone, scan and delete | Some do, and it is a real advantage | Usually yes |
| Cheapest way inthey win | $0 for the grade, $149 for the audit | $0 to $19 a month | $500 to $3,000 |

The four rows marked are the ones no monthly scanner can offer at any price, because they need a person.
Where they beat us
Two rows there go against us. A scanner that runs on your own machine never sees your code at all, which we cannot match because we read the repository. And $19 a month is genuinely cheaper than $149. If a monthly scanner is what you need, buy one: it is the right answer for a developer who can act on the output alone.
What you are actually buying
Software finds it. I explain it. That second part is the product.
Every scanner on the market gives you a list. A list is where most founders stop, because the next question is which of these actually matters for my app, and no tool answers that. So every paid tier here includes time with me, on a call, going through your findings and telling you what to do first.
My consulting rate is [NEEDS REAL NUMBER] an hour. Thirty minutes of it is inside a $149 audit, which is most of what you are paying for.
A list becomes a decision
Thirty findings sorted by severity is still thirty things. On the call we agree which three matter for your app this week, and which you can leave.
The awkward questions get answered
Whether your particular setup makes a finding worse or harmless. A scanner cannot know; it has never seen your business.
Somebody is accountable
A tool has a support queue. On Verified, my name is on the letter, which is why the letter is worth handing to an investor.
Twelve years building and shipping production software for DHL, AT&T, DirecTV, Accenture, the Singapore Government and Simons Group. I founded AISynq. I run these myself and I do not send anyone else.
