Codanopy vs a manual review
A manual review by someone experienced is still the gold standard — a person can reason about intent, business context, and novel logic bugs no scanner catches. It's also slow to schedule and expensive relative to a side project or an early-stage app. Codanopy isn't a replacement for that judgment; it's a fast, cheap first pass that catches the categories of bug that recur specifically in AI-generated code — hardcoded secrets, missing authorization, insecure defaults — so a human reviewer, if and when you get one, starts from a cleaner baseline instead of triaging the obvious stuff. You can also get both in one place: after the free scan, your report lets you order a $300 review by the person who built Codanopy — a written report and a 45-minute Loom walkthrough within 5 business days, with the full report unlock included.
