FAQ
What is Deflectra and why is it different from other security tools?
Deflectra is an open-source Agentic Security Platform that unifies AI-powered Code Review, Dynamic Endpoint Scanning, and Automated Documentation into a single, local-first tool.
Unlike traditional scanners that purely match patterns, Deflectra employs a Multi-Agent System to understand your application's logic. It differentiates itself by offering:
- Deep Coverage: Over 70+ unique vulnerability types detected, covering the vast majority of market CWEs, from SQL Injection to complex Logic Flaws.
- Collaborative Intelligence: A team of +15 specialized AI Agents using +20 custom tools working together to map, audit, and verify your code 24/7.
- Engineer-First UX: A polished, professional interface designed for the modern security engineer allowing you to save, share, compare, and study results with ease.
Can I try the platform for free?
Of course! Our free plan is designed for you to explore the basic features of our application. No credit card is required to get started. Just download the application from our GitHub page and begin exploring.
What happens to the code uploaded to the application?
We never store or use any part of the code you upload. The application runs entirely on your local machine, and all scan results are stored locally. We are committed to your privacy and ensuring your source code never leaves your environment.
While Deflectra runs locally and does not store your code, any data processed during AI-powered scans is sent to your selected AI provider (e.g., Google, OpenAI) and is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.
For Premium users, the application only performs necessary checks to validate your license key and API token for feature activation. No other data is transmitted.
How does the subscription work?
Our subscription is a monthly cycle. Your first purchase includes a 7-day free trial. You can cancel your subscription at any time, even during the trial period.
How can I change my plan?
You can upgrade your plan at any time from your account settings. Upon upgrading, you will immediately receive your private API Key and access to the full application features.
Can I unsubscribe whenever I want?
Absolutely. You can cancel your Premium plan at any time. You will retain access to all premium features until the end of your current billing cycle.

What about false positives?
Like any AI-powered tool, Deflectra's analysis is not 100% infallible and may occasionally produce false positives. We have implemented multiple validation layers to minimize these occurrences. Security AI Agents learn from the results of the scans and we are continuously working to improve our detection accuracy to provide the highest quality results for our users.
