Aikido Security Pricing in 2026: What You Actually Pay Once the Free Plan Runs Out

Aikido Security pricing starts at $0 for 2 users, then runs $350, $700, or $1,050 per month with 10 users included, as of July 2026. Pentests bill separately, starting at $4,000 per standard assessment.

Every number below comes straight from Aikido’s own pricing page, which I pulled from their website as of this writing, in both billing states. The plan cards leave out a few details that change what you actually pay.

TL;DR: Aikido sells flat-fee bundles. Paid tiers include 10 users and cost $350, $700, or $1,050 per month, with annual billing 10% cheaper.

The free Developer plan is genuinely usable, covering 2 users and 10 repos with no card. Growth comes from user steps, repo caps, and pentests billed separately from $4,000.

Price CodeAnt AI, a defensive and offensive security platform that unifies AI code review, SAST, and agentic pen testing, before you commit. Its modules run $20 to $24 per user per month.

Aikido Security Pricing Plans at a Glance

Here is the full Aikido price list in USD, on monthly billing, as of July 2026.

Flat fees make the platform cheap per head at exactly 10 users and pricier per head at 3.

How Much Does Aikido Security Cost?

Paid platform plans are flat monthly fees that each include 10 users. Basic runs $350 per month, Pro $700, and Advanced $1,050 on monthly billing, as of July 2026.

Annual billing knocks 10% off. Basic drops to $3,780 per year, Pro to $7,560, and Advanced to $11,340, each still covering 10 users.

Adding users moves a dropdown step rather than a per-seat line item. Pro at 50 users totals $3,500 per month, and Advanced at 50 users totals $5,250.

Enterprise is custom priced. The tier adds a custom SLA, a multi-tenant portal, training and onboarding, and local on-prem deployment.

What Does the Free Plan Actually Include?

Developer is free forever, includes 2 users, and asks for no credit card. Coverage spans the same core scanners the paid tiers use.

• Scanners: dependency scanning (SCA), SAST and AI SAST, secrets detection, cloud misconfiguration checks, IaC scanning, license risk, and outdated software detection.

• Limits: 10 repos with fair-usage limits, 2 container images, 1 domain, and 1 cloud account.

• Quotas: 10 AI AutoFixes and 250k protected requests per month, with rescans every 3 days.

The gate to paid shows up in workflow features. PR security review, Jira and Linear sync, and compliance sync to Drata or Vanta all start at Basic.

Where Does the Bill Grow?

Four levers move the total once you outgrow a tier’s bundle.

• User steps: Basic’s selector stops at 20 users, which costs $700 per month. Bigger teams move to Pro or Advanced, where 50 users run $3,500 or $5,250 per month.

• Repo caps: 100 repos on Basic, 200 on Pro, and 500 on Advanced, each with fair-usage limits attached.

• Feature gates: on-prem scanning and VM scanning sit at Pro, while the broker for internal apps, private registry proxy, and FIPS base images sit at Advanced.

• Pentests: every assessment is a separate bill, starting at $4,000.

Annual billing is the one lever that moves the total down, by 10%.

Currency follows your timezone, so European visitors see euro list prices like €300 per month for Basic. The dollar figures above come from the page’s USD view.

How Much Does an Aikido Pentest Cost?

A standard pentest costs $4,000 per assessment and covers one application plus its primary APIs, as of July 2026. Whitebox testing is the default, and black-box or grey-box modes cost extra because they require more agents.

Rightsized pentests run $960 to $30,000+ with scope set automatically from your repos, endpoints, and roles. Continuous testing, which runs a pentest on every deploy, is custom priced.

Two clauses soften the bill. Aikido waives payment when no high or critical findings turn up, and re-testing stays free for 90 days after the initial pentest.

What Aikido Gets Right on Pricing

Plenty of security vendors hide their numbers behind a sales call, so credit where due.

• Published prices: every platform tier and pentest price sits on the public page, next to a full compare table.

• A usable free tier: 2 users and 10 repos with real scanners, free forever.

• The don’t-pay clause: a pentest with no high or critical findings costs nothing.

• Startup relief: up to 30% off for companies under $1.5M in funding with fewer than 10 people, and all non-profits qualify.

• Marketplace billing: Basic and Pro can route through AWS, Azure, or GCP marketplaces.

What to Watch Before You Sign Up

None of this is hidden, but each item below changed my read of the total.

• The $0 to $350 jump: the first paid step is $350 per month regardless of headcount.

• Ten seats minimum: a 3-person team pays the same Basic fee as a 10-person team.

• Fair-usage asterisks: repo counts carry fair-usage limits, so heavy monorepos deserve a scoping question before you commit.

• Free-tier cadence: free repos rescan every 3 days, and AI AutoFixes cap at 10 per month.

• Pentest depth add-ons: black-box and grey-box testing cost extra on top of the $4,000 whitebox price.

How Does Aikido Pricing Compare to CodeAnt AI?

CodeAnt AI prices per user where Aikido prices per bundle. Modules cost $20 to $24 per user per month, and a 14-day trial covers unlimited seats.

Here is the spend picture side by side.

Aikido Basic works out to $35 per included user at every selector step, at $350 for 10, $525 for 15, and $700 for 20 users on monthly billing. CodeAnt AI’s Code Security module stays at $20 per user at any headcount.

Scope differs too, and price alone will not settle the choice. Our head-to-head comparison walks the feature side in the same July 2026 detail.
