Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Praneeth, Co-Founder of LaunchSafe.
Most startups ship fast, but security testing is often skipped because traditional pentests cost $10K+ and take weeks. software developers, startups, Indie hackers, vibe coders, and small dev teams usually don’t have the time or budget.
My co-founder Shiva Nagendra Babu Kore and I built LaunchSafe because we faced this exact problem while building our own products. Every time we wanted a security check, we ran into the same issues: traditional pentests took weeks and cost thousands of dollars.
So we built LaunchSafe — the first agentic pentest automation platform to solve this problem.
LaunchSafe uses agentic AI pentesting to actively try to hack your app — analyzing your code and running real exploits on your live application to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Quick technical question: How do your agents safely test exploits in live environments without risking data corruption or service disruption?
Do you run attacks in a sandboxed clone/staging environment or apply safeguards when targeting production?
LaunchSafe
Great question, @konstantinalikhanov
We test against the live application, but the exploit execution itself runs inside an isolated in-service sandbox. Our agents spin up ephemeral Docker containers that simulate the attack flow and interact with the app using non-destructive payloads. This lets us safely validate exploitability without modifying real data or disrupting the service.
In short: the app is live, but the attack environment is sandboxed and controlled, so we can prove the vulnerability safely.

$19 vs $10K+ for a pentest is kind of absurd in a good way. Security is one of those things every startup knows they should do but never gets around to because the cost and complexity just doesn't make sense at early stage.
The fact that it actually attempts real exploits instead of just scanning for known patterns is the differentiator. Do you share proof-of-concept details in the report so devs can reproduce and verify the fix themselves?
LaunchSafe
Thanks @mihir_kanzariya! 🙌 Totally agree early-stage startups know security matters but traditional pentests are too expensive and slow. That’s exactly the gap we’re trying to solve.
And yes LaunchSafe reports include proof-of-concept exploit steps, affected endpoints/code locations, and remediation guidance so devs can reproduce the issue and verify the fix themselves.

Love the fast pentest flow. Happy to support! :)
LaunchSafe
Thanks a lot, @lev_kerzhner! Really appreciate the support 🙌
Great wedge. Security usually gets delayed till it hurts, making pentesting startup-friendly is smart.
Congrats on the launch @praneethnarisetty
LaunchSafe
Thanks @ashish_tadose! Really appreciate the support. That’s exactly the problem we’re trying to solve making real pentesting fast and accessible for startups.
Are scan results exportable into issue trackers like Jira or Linear?
LaunchSafe
Yes @akhil_gottiparthi - LaunchSafe reports can be exported and pushed into tools like Jira or Linear. Each finding includes severity, exploit proof, affected endpoint, and a suggested fix so teams can turn vulnerabilities into actionable tickets immediately.
Hey @praneethnarisetty , This is really impressive. I have to ask though, how come there is no free trial option? I am sure that would definitely get you more users onboard. Also I love the free complete security testing for the first 20 startups. I do have a few things I would like to discuss with you still. Do you mind if I hit you up on X?
Love the idea of quickly pentesting products and applications before release—at this price, it’s a no-brainer. I do have a quick question though: how secure are our repositories and data on your end?
Are repositories cloned fully, or do you analyze only specific commits or diffs?
How does it handle AI-generated code vulnerabilities?
Does the tool provide remediation suggestions or patches?
