Sopa ensures each pull request matches what product requested by validating code against the ticket before merge. Snyk focuses on developer-first security—scanning code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure as code for vulnerabilities. Many teams combine them: Sopa for requirement alignment, Snyk for security coverage.
| Feature | Sopa | Snyk |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Validate PR code against product ticket requirements before merge. | Security scanning for code, dependencies, containers, and IaC. |
| When you use it | During PR review—right before merging. | Continuously in CI/CD, IDEs, and repositories to detect vulnerabilities. |
| What it analyzes | PR diff + product ticket context (e.g., Jira). | Code, open-source libraries, container images, and infrastructure as code configs. |
| Output | Review comments and a pass/fail verdict based on acceptance criteria. | Vulnerability reports, severity levels, fixes, and license compliance checks. |
| Main benefit | Prevents requirement-related bugs from reaching QA/production. | Keeps your software secure by preventing vulnerabilities from reaching production. |
| Integrations | GitHub + Jira (Linear, Asana, Trello coming soon). | GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, IDEs (VS Code, IntelliJ), CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform. |
| Best for | CTOs, CPOs, PMs, Tech Leads needing product–engineering alignment at PR time. | Security and dev teams focused on identifying and fixing vulnerabilities early. |
Sopa ensures the code you merge is exactly what product asked for. Snyk protects your code, dependencies, and infrastructure from vulnerabilities. Use both: Sopa for requirement alignment, Snyk for security.
