Detailed Comparison

Aikido vs Xbow

Aikido Security
Xbow
Pricing
Transaparent, usage-based pricing.
Untransparent pricing. Talk to sales.
Transparent credit-based. (See pricing table below). Small Pilot/PoC possible. Retests included at no additional cost.
XBOW forces heavy pre-commitment, no testing. Their per-repo scaling result in surprises concerning credit costs. Retests are charged half the original attack credits.
Positioning
Full-stack AI pentests that connect code → cloud → runtime.
AI-driven pentests with compliance integration.
Continuous validation, instant retests, and audit-ready reports.
Automated discovery and exploitation across web apps using hundreds of collaborating AI agents.
Coverage & depth
Full-stack coverage. Mature, enterprise-grade platform.
Source-level scanning, misses depth.
Whitebox, graybox, and blackbox pentests, that include false-positive suppression, AI-driven triage to eliminate noise and speed up reviews.

Broad agentic pentesting that simulates real attacker behavior, maps exploit chains, and validates fixes across code, infra, APIs, and runtime, all without requiring repo access.

Aikido supports IDOR detection.
Strong focus on autonomous exploitation benchmarks, but limited OWASP mapping and less mature integration or validation workflows.

Supports black/grey/white-box modes but relies heavily on source-level scanning for meaningful depth, making it slower to onboard and harder to approve legally.

Xbow doesn't support IDOR detection.
Ease of deployment
Can be deployed in under an hour.
Talk to sales - Slow sales process.
No full-codebase access required. Hosted in EU or US, customer’s choice.
Setup often requires repo-level access and configuration. No self-service. Talk to sales.
Attack-path visibility
Attack paths / attack graphs across code, cloud, runtime.
Autonomous discovery & exploitation.
Visual attack-paths connecting vulnerabilities across code, infra, and runtime with real exploit chains.
Automated exploitation engine but no public emphasis on multi-layer attack-path visualization.
Integrations & workflow
Deeply integrated with CI/CD & compliance tools.
Vanta & Rhymetec integration.
Integrated with CI/CD, issue trackers, IDEs, and Aikido’s broader security platform.
Compliance integrations only. One-click pen test purchase and review inside Vanta’s UI. Limited direct developer workflow integration.
Hosting & compliance
Hosted in-region (EU or US).
Hosted in the US only.
Complies with SOC 2 & ISO 27001; supports regulated sectors.
Compliance certifications and regional hosting options not publicly detailed.

How it Works

1.

Discovery

When the pentest begins, features and endpoints of the applications are mapped.

2.

Exploitation

100’s of agents are dispatched on those features and endpoints, each going in-depth, focused on their attack vector.

3.

Validation

For each finding, additional validation is performed to avoid false-positives and hallucinations.
