Pick Infer if…
Infer suits developers and teams who want static checks for supported languages before code ships, including in CI workflows. It is not suitable for Windows-native use, and it only analyzes files captured during compilation.
Pick Semgrep Code if…
Semgrep Code suits development teams looking for source-code vulnerability scanning within pull request, IDE or CI workflows. The listed Free Edition is for teams within its repository and contributor limits; larger teams can consider the paid tiers.
