    MobSF is good for checking for vulnerabilities in your app. It will also give suggestions on how to address them. Another thing is can do is find code that may be incorrect. It is not, however, a substitute for a system that actually checks your code for proper use. It really is concentrated on security.

    Rapid7
    Rapid7 AppSpider could be your default DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), it covers the OWASP top 10 for web and APIs. Great tools, with a very nice and understandable report and analytics, work excellent for one-shot or continuous monitoring of your web assets. Also has a fair amount of integrations with other popular tools.

    In my opinion, MobSF is not as comprehensive as SonarQube. Both, however, do a very good job in scanning your code for vulnerabilities. Both do roughly the same things. The reports of SonarQube are more detailed though. The advantage that MobSF has over SonarQube is the price. One is free while the other is a paid solution (with several tiers). However, we use them together to get a more comprehensive scan.
