Why Choose CursorGuard
The CursorGuard Advantage
Built from the ground up for modern AI-assisted development workflows.
AI-Powered Deep Analysis
Our Claude AI integration catches business logic vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, and context-specific issues that pattern-matching tools miss.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
No per-seat costs that scale unexpectedly. Pay a flat monthly rate or per-scan. A team of 10 on GHAS could pay $490/month vs our $150/month Pro plan.
Built for AI-Generated Code
Purpose-built to catch the security blind spots in code from Cursor, Copilot, Lovable, and other AI coding tools. Multi-engine scanning in a single pass.
Privacy-First Architecture
Your source code is never stored permanently. Scans run in isolated Docker containers, and code is deleted immediately after analysis completes.
