|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Score or evidence | LaunchGuard The pages describe findings tied to specific probes rather than a single score. Source: https://launchguard.dev/ (read 2026-09-14) | ShipReady No score, no grade, no badge. Every finding shows the request that produced it and the date it was read. | ||||||||||||||||||
| What they show and what they keep | LaunchGuard Public pages describe a scan against a supplied URL. Report handling is not stated in detail. Source: https://launchguard.dev/ (read 2026-09-14) | ShipReady The full free result is shown to anyone with the check id. Nothing is gated behind a paywall or an account. | ||||||||||||||||||
| What they do to your app | LaunchGuard Explicitly probes database functions and IDOR-style cross-account requests from outside, so it can trigger writes and read attempts against your app. Source: https://launchguard.dev/ (read 2026-09-14) | ShipReady Deterministic outside requests only. Never signs in, never executes a function on your database, never reads another account's data. | ||||||||||||||||||
| What neither can see from outside | Neither an outside scanner nor a public research report can prove these from a URL. They need code, account, runtime or operational access.

| Fixes | LaunchGuard Findings describe the probe and its response. Public pages do not list per-builder fix prompts. Source: https://launchguard.dev/ (read 2026-09-14) | ShipReady Every finding carries five fix prompts for Lovable, Bolt, Base44, v0 and generic coding assistants, hand written per finding. | ||||||||||||||||||

| What happens next | LaunchGuard Read the report, then decide whether to remediate on your own. Source: https://launchguard.dev/ (read 2026-09-14) | ShipReady You can stop at the free check, or buy the Release Gate at $49 for the package, the Launch Review at $199 for a person, or the Hardening Sprint at $1,750 for the fix work. | ||||||||||||||||||
Competitor strengths
Actively probes database functions and cross-account paths from outside, which surfaces a class of failure a passive outside scan cannot.

Choose LaunchGuard if
You want an automated probe of your database functions and cross-account paths from outside, and you accept the trade-off that automated probing sends requests to your app that you would rather a person controlled.
Why our free check does not probe functions or accounts
ShipReady's free check never executes a function on your database and never signs in as one of your users to read another's data. Automated probes can trigger writes, corrupt state, or count toward rate limits on production accounts, and the person on the other end has not agreed to that. In the Launch Review a person does this work under explicit scope, with your approval, against a real test account, and writes up what they saw, which is why probing that shape lives there instead of in the free check.
ShipReady statuses explained
Observed means an outside request produced direct evidence.

Not verified means the item needs code, account, runtime or operational access.
Could not check means the attempt did not produce a reliable answer.
