Deepfence SecretScanner vs ggshield

Deepfence SecretScanner has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

ggshield is GitGuardian’s command-line tool for finding hardcoded secrets before code is pushed. It can scan local files and repositories, run before commits or in CI pipelines, and act as a pre-receive hook for self-managed version control. It also scans Docker image layers, build arguments, and Dockerfiles. GitGuardian’s documentation describes detection for more than 600 secret types. The open-source CLI uses a closed-source secrets detection library behind GitGuardian’s public API. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with API and self-hosted options. Standard installation needs Git and a supported, non-end-of-life Python version; standalone packages are an exception. Scans require an API key for a GitGuardian workspace, and the login command can provision and store a personal access token. Files over 1 MB are ignored, and API calls accept up to 20 documents each. The free Starter plan is free, billed Always; it includes up to 25 developers, 10K API calls per month, up to 500 historical scan detections, and unlimited real-time scanning.
