Endor Labs vs Safety CLI

Endor Labs is an application security platform spanning code, secrets, dependencies, container images and coding agents. AURI for Developers helps scan for vulnerabilities, detect secrets and block malicious dependencies in AI coding workflows. Endor Code provides AI SAST and secrets detection; Endor Open Source adds reachability-based SCA, malicious-package detection, AI model governance, and SBOM and VEX generation. The platform can inventory coding agents, models, MCP servers and skills, then enforce policies on agent actions. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, CircleCI, Jenkins, Jira, Slack, Vanta, Cursor, Claude, Gemini and GitHub Copilot. Scans can run through cloud apps, inside CI/CD runners or with Endor Outpost for scheduled monitoring and on-premises deployment. The company says cloud scanning briefly clones code into a container that is destroyed after scanning, while CI/CD scanning keeps code in the runner. The free Developer tier supports local scans and read-only vulnerability data, but has no UI, policies or scan history. Paid plans are seat-based and require contacting sales for pricing.

Safety CLI detects vulnerable dependencies and helps remediate them. Its CLI page describes scanning Python, Java, and JavaScript, while the listed supported ecosystem is Python. The tool prioritizes vulnerabilities using code-risk reachability analysis and verified fix recommendations. Safety says its proprietary vulnerability database detects four times more security issues than public sources. Scans can run on development machines, in CI/CD pipelines, or in production, and integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Docker, and Bitbucket; a GitHub Action is available for CI/CD scans. Installation starts with `pip install safety`, followed by authentication and `safety scan`. Safety lists support for Python 3.8 and later, with a Docker option for older versions described in its documentation. The CLI is available for Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted deployment, and supports SBOM generation. The free plan is limited to one developer, one codebase, and 100 monthly scans for non-commercial use. Team costs $25 a month, billed at $25 per developer per month or $240 per year; a 7-day trial is available.
