"Partial" means real but narrower coverage, and does not count toward the score - the cell says what is missing. Open a feature to see the individual checks behind it.
Where each tool wins
A comparison page where the competitor never wins reads as an advert. Here is the case for GitGuardian, and the case against us, alongside the case for FlawPilot.
What GitGuardian does better
Secrets detection is their whole product and they are the best at it - 450+ credential types, real-time monitoring, and a free tier that covers small teams properly.
Where FlawPilot differs
FlawPilot flags hardcoded secrets as part of a source-code scan, alongside the live-site findings. It is one category in a ranked report, not a dedicated secrets platform.
