Aikido scans code and dependencies for engineering teams. Fasrad does that on your repo, then scans your live app from outside, in plain language.
Fasrad runs the same dependency, code and secret scans Aikido does on your repo. It also probes the live app from the outside for runtime data exposure, then explains each finding and writes the fix.
Aikido earned its reputation on a real problem. Developer security used to mean stitching together half a dozen noisy, expensive scanners, and Aikido folds SAST, dependency scanning, secrets detection and cloud and container checks into one developer-friendly platform with a generous free tier. Fasrad runs the same core classes of scan on your repo: dependencies, code and secrets.
Where they differ is the live app. Fasrad also scans the deployed app from the outside, and that's where AI-builder leaks sit: an open Supabase table, a key in the browser bundle, a runtime misconfiguration no code scanner can see. It's also an agent. It filters out build-time dependency noise, explains each finding plainly, writes the fix and monitors on a schedule. The same agent handles your email, calendar and notes, and you skip the jump from Aikido's free tier to a few hundred a month.
Where each one fits:
If you shipped an AI-built app, Fasrad gives you one agent watching the code and the live app, with monitoring included, that tells you in plain language what to fix first.
Buyers usually compare these adjacent jobs before choosing an AI agent.
Aikido is a developer-first, all-in-one AppSec platform. It consolidates SAST, dependency (SCA) scanning, secrets detection, and container and cloud scanning into one product that connects to your repos. The free tier is genuinely generous (around 2 users and 10 repos). Paid plans start around $300+/month, and startups often find that a steep jump.
Yes. Connect a public or private repo and it runs dependency/SCA scanning for known CVEs, static analysis (SAST) for insecure code, and secret detection. Build-time and dev-only dependency noise stays out of the grade. It also scans your live app from the outside for runtime data exposure like broken RLS, exposed keys and open Firebase. A code-and-cloud platform doesn't check those.
Aikido is a code-and-cloud platform with container and cloud-posture scanning and team workflows. Fasrad tunes its code scanning for AI-built JS/TS apps, wraps it in an agent for non-developers, and adds the live-app layer that code-and-cloud scanning doesn't see. Pick Fasrad to cover the code and the live app and have it explained and fixed for you, with no platform to stand up.
You can use it for code and dependency scanning. It won't tell you that your live Supabase table is readable by anyone, though, and the jump to paid for broader coverage is steep. Fasrad scans the code and the running app for those runtime leaks and monitors on a schedule, included in your plan.
Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. The free scan needs no account, and the always-on agent is included with fasrad. Setup takes about four minutes. fasrad is in public beta.
