When to use which

Use LyraShield AI when

• You need release assurance with checksum-bound evidence reports for release decisions
• You do not yet have a detection stack and need agentic pentest, SCA and secrets scanning in one product
• Your app is AI-built and you want security checks inside your AI coding agent via MCP
• You want recorded fix proposals before your team applies a patch
• You need coverage receipts mapping to a control framework

Use Pixee when

• You already have SAST/SCA/DAST scanners and a large backlog of findings to triage and fix
• You want automated fix PRs with a published validation methodology (constrained generation + independent evaluator + CI gate)
• You need scanner-agnostic triage that works with your existing toolchain (CodeQL, Semgrep, Checkmarx, Snyk and more)
• You want self-hosted or air-gapped deployment with bring-your-own-model for data sovereignty
• You want proactive design-time review of specs before code is written (Foresight)

Where Pixee is genuinely strong

Pixee takes a different starting point than most security tools. It does not run its own scanner. Its platform page describes sitting on top of the scanners you already use, triaging their output, filtering false positives through exploitability analysis and writing context-aware fixes that match your code conventions. Pixee calls this agentic security engineering.

The reactive side, VulnOps, runs the scanner backlog with 12 native integrations across tools such as SonarQube and Snyk, as described in its docs. The proactive side, Foresight, reads design documents before code is written, captures the security promises a design makes and flags on the pull request where shipped code drifted from what was intended.

Pixee’s decision not to run its own scanner is a deliberate architectural choice, and it is the reason the tool pairs well with a scanner rather than replacing one. The Pixee about page notes it was co-founded by the co-founder and Chief Scientist of Contrast Security, and the scanner triage page describes its use in large regulated enterprises.
