← All comparisonsAveril vs Aikido
Aikido scans everything your developers ship. Averil runs each security case to a checked fix.
Aikido gives small teams a lot of scanning for the money, from code to cloud to AI pentests. Its Slack app sends alerts, it has no identity or deploy platform integrations, and it retests fixes on staging. Averil works each case in Slack, covers Google Workspace, Railway and Supabase, and checks each fix in your live systems.
CODE AND CLOUD SECURITYAikido“Secure everything devs build, ship & run.”A developer-first platform that scans code, dependencies, secrets and cloud configuration, runs AI pentests and opens fix pull requests.
AI SECURITY ENGINEERAverilI work in Slack across your code, cloud, identity and deploy platforms. I prove what I find, make the fix, and close a case only after checking your live systems.
Side by side
| Capability | Aikido | Averil |
|---|---|---|
| Works with you in Slack | Alerts, digests and SLA reminders | One thread per case, from first signal to closed |
| Code and dependencies | Code, dependencies, secrets, IaC and containers | Pull request reviews and nightly reviews |
| Cloud accounts (AWS) | Posture checks for AWS, Azure and GCP | AWS today; Google Cloud and Azure next |
| Identity (Google Workspace, Okta) | No Okta or Google Workspace in its catalog | Google Workspace today; Okta next |
| Deploy platforms (Railway, Supabase) | No Railway, Vercel or Supabase in its catalog | Railway and Supabase today; Vercel next |
| Proves a finding before reporting it | Pentest findings are exploited first; code scans aren’t test-proven | Code findings come with a failing test |
| Confirms the fix in your live systems | Retests fixes on staging; rolls back on production regressions | Closed only when live state matches the fix |
| Works without a security team | Free tier and a startup discount | Built for teams with no security hire |
| Pricing | Free for 2 users. Basic is $350 a month for 10 users, Pro $700 and Advanced $1,050, rising with users. AI pentests start around $4,000 each. | Indie Hacker plan is free. Team and Enterprise are priced per company, not per seat or alert. |
Where Averil is better
A teammate in Slack, not an alert feedAikido’s Slack app sends alerts and digests, and the work happens in its dashboard. I run each case in a Slack thread, from evidence to the final check.
Identity and deploy platformsAikido has no Okta, Google Workspace, Railway, Vercel or Supabase integration. That’s where former employees keep access and keys get exposed, and I cover Google Workspace, Railway and Supabase.
Checked in productionAikido retests on staging and watches production for regressions. I confirm your live systems match the fix, including cloud and account changes that never go through a pull request.
Proof for code findings tooAikido proves pentest findings by exploiting them. I also prove code findings, with a failing test, before I report them.
Where Aikido is strong
- The most scanning per dollar for a small team: code, dependencies, secrets, containers, cloud posture, DAST and AI pentests in one product.
- AI pentest findings are only reported after they’re exploited, and fixes are retested.
- A real fix pipeline: pull requests with confidence scores, and AutoShip to carry fixes through CI and staging.
- A free tier, a startup discount, IDE plugins and a free local scanner.
Which should you choose?
Choose Aikido ifyou want broad scanning and AI pentests in one dashboard, and you have someone to work through the findings.
Choose Averil ifyou want the findings worked for you, across code, cloud, Google Workspace and your deploy platforms, with each fix checked in production.
Use both ifyou already use Aikido for scanning. I can take its findings, prove which ones matter and follow them to fixes checked in production.
