HONEST COMPARISON
The SafeToShip alternative for people who build with AI
SafeToShip (safetoship.dev) is probably the closest product to UNPWNED in shape: paste a URL, get a security report built for vibe coders, no agent to install. The honest differences are in the numbers. They scan across 10 modules; UNPWNED runs 700+ checks across 36 scanners. They let you run unlimited free quick scans with a basic report; our free tier is 2 scans a month but includes the security score, grade and finding titles. Their full report is a $9 one-time purchase; ours comes with a subscription that includes monitoring and CVE intelligence.
Who SafeToShip is genuinely for
Someone who wants to check a site right now, for free, as many times as they like - their unlimited free quick scans are more generous than our 2-a-month free tier on volume - or someone who wants exactly one full report for $9 without starting any subscription. Both are real advantages, and if that is the whole job, SafeToShip does it.

Where each of us honestly wins
They win on friction at the entry: unlimited free quick scans beat our 2-a-month on volume, and a $9 one-time full report is cheaper than any subscription if you truly only need one look. Their 10 modules cover the right basics for vibe-coded apps - headers, SSL, exposed files, JS secrets, Supabase and Firebase rules, CORS, cookies, email authentication, rate limiting.
We win on depth and what surrounds the scan: 700+ checks against 10 modules, CVE Radar with NVD, CISA KEV and EPSS on every scan, deep scanning with active probing on verified domains, GitHub repository monitoring, and a public methodology backed by live research data. All claims about SafeToShip come from safetoship.dev as of July 2026 - if something changed, tell us and we will fix it.
Common questions
Is UNPWNED a SafeToShip alternative?
Yes, the most direct kind - both scan a live URL and report in plain English for people without a security background. Choose SafeToShip for unlimited free quick checks or a $9 one-off full report. Choose UNPWNED when you want more than the basics: 700+ checks instead of 10 modules, CVE matching against NVD, CISA KEV and EPSS, deep scans on verified domains, and GitHub monitoring, from $19/month.
Their free scans are unlimited and yours are not. Why?
True, and worth saying plainly: on scan volume their free tier is more generous. The trade is depth per scan - our free scan runs the full 700+ check sweep and shows your score, grade, severity breakdown and finding titles, because we would rather show you fewer, fuller pictures than many shallow ones. If you need frequent free re-checks of the basics, run theirs; when you want the complete picture and the fixes, that is our lane.
How does pricing compare overall?
As of July 2026, per their public pages: SafeToShip offers free unlimited quick scans, a $9 one-time single scan with full report, and Pro at $24/month with unlimited scans, history, monitoring and a trust badge. UNPWNED is free for 2 full scans a month, then $19/month for 1 monitored domain, $39/month for 5, or $49/month for 15 - each with unlimited re-scans under fair use, CVE alerts, PDF export and GitHub integration. For one domain, we are $5 a month cheaper and include CVE intelligence; for a single one-time look, their $9 wins.
