Dralvia vs Snyk.
Snyk answers "does this version have a known CVE." Dralvia answers a different question: "is this package itself malicious right now?" Different lanes, many teams run both, with Dralvia covering active supply-chain compromise.

FAQ
Honest answers.
Not for known-CVE SCA and SAST, that is Snyk's strength. Dralvia complements it by catching active supply-chain compromise: malicious packages, post-install behaviour, and suspicious maintainer changes.
Catch the package, not just the CVE.
Scan a dependency and read the supply-chain signal Snyk's CVE lens doesn't cover.
