Aikido consolidates code, dependency and cloud scanning for engineering teams. Fasrad runs the same checks on your repo — dependencies, code and secrets — then also scans your live deployed app from the outside, filters the dependency noise, and explains each finding in plain language.
Aikido scans your code and cloud for dev teams; Fasrad runs the same dependency, code and secret scans on your repo and also probes the live app from the outside for runtime data exposure, then explains each finding and writes the fix.
Aikido earned its reputation by fixing a real problem: developer security used to mean stitching together half a dozen noisy, expensive scanners. 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 — so the difference isn't that 'Fasrad doesn't do code.'
The difference is two-fold. First, Fasrad also scans the live, deployed app from the outside — where the AI-builder leaks actually live (an open Supabase table, a key in the browser bundle, a runtime misconfiguration no code scanner can see). Aikido scans the code and the cloud account; Fasrad scans the running app too. Second, it's an agent: it filters out build-time dependency noise, explains each finding plainly, writes the fix, monitors on a schedule, and is also your email, calendar and notes assistant — without the steep jump from Aikido's free tier to a few hundred a month.
Where each one fits:
Pick Fasrad if you shipped an AI-built app and want one agent watching both your code and your live app, telling you in plain language what to fix first — with monitoring included.

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. It has a genuinely generous free tier (around 2 users and 10 repos), but paid plans start around $300+/month, which startups often find a steep jump.
Yes. Connect a repo — public or private — and it runs dependency/SCA scanning for known CVEs, static analysis (SAST) for insecure code, and secret detection, with build-time and dev-only dependency noise filtered out of the grade. It also scans your live app from the outside for runtime data exposure — broken RLS, exposed keys, open Firebase — which a code-and-cloud platform doesn't check.
Aikido is a code-and-cloud platform with container and cloud-posture scanning and team workflows. Fasrad's code scanning is tuned for AI-built JS/TS apps and wrapped in an agent for non-developers, and it 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 — without standing up a platform.
You can use it for code and dependency scanning. But it won't tell you that your live Supabase table is readable by anyone, and the jump to paid for broader coverage is steep. Fasrad scans both the code and the running app for those runtime leaks and monitors on a schedule, included in your plan.
$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime. The free scan needs no account; the always-on agent is included with fasrad. Setup takes about four minutes. fasrad is in public beta.
