Aikido is the stronger pick if you want one platform across code, dependencies, cloud and runtime, wired into your IDE and pull requests. AttackerView is the better fit if you want deep testing of the running web app from the outside, with per-endpoint AI pentests, at a price that does not grow with team size.
Aikido Security is a developer-focused application security platform that covers code (SAST, SCA, secrets), cloud, attack surface (DAST and AI pentesting) and runtime protection in one product.
