Already using a SAST?
Why not just stick with what you have?
Three reasons we built StaticCodeAudit instead of using existing tools — plus a one-line answer for each.
vs. Snyk Code
Snyk Code is a SaaS — your source code is uploaded to Snyk's cloud for analysis. Pricing scales per developer ($25–40/dev/month).
SCA: 100% local, annual flat fee, no seat charge.
Read the full comparison →vs. SonarQube
SonarQube self-hosted = a server to deploy, maintain, scale. SonarCloud = SaaS with code upload. Both focus on tech debt, not security depth.
SCA: standalone CLI, security-first, no infrastructure.
Read the full comparison →vs. Semgrep CE
Semgrep CE is free and good for custom rules, but ships zero compliance matrices (ISO 27001, ASVS, WCAG). Each rule = a YAML file you manage yourself.
SCA: 697 curated rules + ISO/ASVS/WCAG matrices out-of-the-box.

Built for the teams that need it most
Used by audit teams in defense, finance, healthcare, public sector, and law firms — who legally cannot ship code to a third-party cloud.
