Plexicus vs Aikido

Built for teams Aikido prices out at 10 devs.

Aikido is a great early product — many of our customers came from there. But once you grow past 10 developers, Aikido's per-user pricing flips against you fast. Plexicus is unlimited developers, unlimited repos, real on-prem, and native AI Pentest from day one.

The cost at 50 devs

Plexicus is ~30–75% cheaper than Aikido at 50 devs — with strictly more capability.

Where Aikido leaves you exposed

Six gaps that show up at scale.

  • 1

    Per-user pricing tax above 10 users ($35–$105/user/month) — scales linearly with team growth

  • 2

    CLI scanner-only on-prem — no real Helm chart, no air-gap

  • 3

    No native AI Pentest in the platform — Lovable integration is a $100/test side product, not in-platform deep autonomy

  • 4

    No CPSTIC, no EU sovereignty pitch — Belgian, no government certification track

  • 5

    Aikido openly admits in its own product documentation that it wraps existing open-source scanners

  • 6

    No autonomous deep semantic code analysis with AI agents

Three questions to ask your Aikido rep

Before you renew.

Question 1

"How much will Aikido cost you when you hit 50 devs?"

Question 2

"Show me Aikido's PoC exploit generation — not theirs, yours, on your code."

Question 3

"Can Aikido deploy as a real Helm chart in your air-gapped environment?"
