Anguardia vs Aikido Security

Aikido is an application security platform — SAST, SCA, DAST, container scanning, secrets detection, and CSPM in one dashboard. Anguardia is AWS-only, focused entirely on turning cloud posture findings into a prioritized remediation backlog. Different tools for different problems.

	Anguardia	Aikido
Primary focus	AWS cloud posture + remediation backlog	Code-to-cloud application security
CSPM	✓ AWS (Azure/GCP coming)	✓ Multi-cloud (one of 15+ modules)
SAST / SCA / secrets	—	✓
Remediation backlog	✓ Prioritized, effort-sized, CLI commands	Findings list with AI autofix for code
Covers IAM, network, reliability, cost	✓	Partial (CSPM module)
Pricing	Free / $149 / $399 / $899	Free / $350 / $700 / $1,050
Best for	Teams without a security team, AWS-first	Dev teams who want full code-to-cloud coverage

Where Aikido wins: If your primary concern is application security — vulnerable dependencies, secrets in code, container CVEs — Aikido is the right tool. It covers the full software development lifecycle and integrates deeply with GitHub, GitLab, and CI/CD pipelines. Its AI autofix for SAST and IaC findings is genuinely useful.

Where Anguardia wins: Anguardia goes deeper on AWS cloud posture — IAM debt, network misconfigurations, missing backups, unrotated keys — across IAM, security, network, reliability, and cost. It's built around remediation, not just detection: effort estimates, exact CLI commands, and a backlog model that tells your engineers not just what's wrong but what to fix first and how long it'll take. If your urgent problem is "our AWS account is a mess and we don't know where to start," that's what Anguardia solves.

The honest answer: Most teams need both eventually. If you're early-stage and AWS posture is your urgent gap, start with Anguardia on the free tier. If you need application security across your whole stack, Aikido is the better fit.
