Vergate vs CheckVibe: which should you use?
#TL;DR
- Vergate: 6 health pillars (security + performance + SEO + AEO + accessibility + monitoring), active DAST via ZAP, 50+ technology detectors, email deliverability, AI fix prompts, MCP server, tamper-evident PDF reports. Free tier, paid from $20/mo.
- CheckVibe: Security + SEO + AEO scanner, 100+ security checks, 68 SEO + 46 AEO checks, uptime monitoring, MCP server. Free tier, paid from $24/mo.
- Key difference: Vergate covers performance, accessibility, deliverability, and technology profiling — areas CheckVibe does not address. CheckVibe has deeper Supabase/Firebase-specific security probes.

#Choose Vergate if...
- You want the full picture — security, performance, SEO, AEO, accessibility, and monitoring in one scan, not two or three tools.
- You need active DAST scanning (SQLi, XSS, open redirects) powered by OWASP ZAP.
- You want performance analysis — Core Web Vitals, bundle sizes, caching, third-party script audits with AI fix suggestions.
- You need accessibility checking (WCAG 2.1 AA) via axe-core.
- You want technology profiling to understand what's running on a site (50+ detectors).
- You want tamper-evident PDF reports with verification tokens.
- You want email deliverability checks (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS).
- You prefer a lower entry price ($20/mo vs $24/mo).
#Choose CheckVibe if...
- You want the deepest Supabase/Firebase-specific security probes (RLS testing, key exposure detection).
- You want more granular SEO checks (68 vs Vergate's 20).
- You want more AEO checks (46 vs Vergate's 26) with a 7-engine readiness matrix.
- You want a slightly higher free scan volume (4 scans/mo vs 3).
#The honest take
Both tools solve the same core problem: scanning vibe-coded apps for issues you'd otherwise miss. CheckVibe is a strong security + visibility scanner. Vergate is a broader platform — it covers the same security and visibility ground, plus performance, accessibility, deliverability, and monitoring in a single pass.
If Supabase/Firebase-specific security is your primary concern, CheckVibe's specialized probes are worth a look. If you want one tool that covers everything a shipped production site needs, Vergate's six-pillar approach means fewer subscriptions and fewer blind spots.
