LeakSnitch vs Cyberhaven
Data security
Short answer
Cyberhaven tracks data flow across devices with a broad data security platform. It is powerful for enterprise data lineage, but it is heavy to deploy and its AI controls sit inside a larger suite. LeakSnitch is purpose built and surgical for the AI leak problem.
Side by side
| Aspect | Cyberhaven | LeakSnitch |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Typically a network proxy, gateway, or cloud API that inspects traffic in the cloud. | Runs entirely in the browser and IDE. Sensitive data never leaves the device, so there is nothing to breach on our side. |
| Focus | Broad data loss prevention and data flow mapping across devices, cloud, and SaaS. | Specialized protection for the generative AI surface: prompts, uploads, and IDE context headed to AI models. |
| Deployment weight | Requires endpoint agents, infrastructure, and typically a longer security team engagement. | Self service install in under 30 seconds, with enterprise controls layered on when needed. |
| Detection rule transparency | Detection logic is proprietary and hidden. Teams must trust vendor claims about what gets flagged. | Every detection pattern is published and auditable in real time via the public patterns API. No black box. |
| Pricing | Per seat licensing that scales with headcount, usually with long contracts. | Free individual tier. Transparent enterprise pricing with no per seat surprises. |

Does LeakSnitch replace a full data security platform?
No. If you need company wide data flow mapping and endpoint DLP, a platform like Cyberhaven covers that ground. LeakSnitch targets the specific and growing gap those platforms miss: data employees feed to AI chatbots and coding agents.
