Solvbeat vs Aikido: security beyond the dev team

Published 2 September 2026 · Solvbeat

Looking at Aikido vs Solvbeat, or hunting an Aikido alternative? The key question is simple: is your team mostly developers, or not?

What Aikido does brilliantly

Aikido is a unified developer-first security platform: SAST, SCA, secrets, cloud posture, DAST and even code auto-fix in your pull requests, consolidated into one tool. There's a genuinely usable free tier for 2 users, then paid plans at $350 / $700 / $1,050 per month. Pentests are separate, from around $4,000. For a software team shipping code daily, it's a strong choice.

Where it isn't the right shape

It's built around code and cloud, for developers. If you're an accountancy, a law firm, a clinic or a shop — not a dev team — a lot of Aikido is aimed at a workflow you don't have.
No server-monitoring SOC. It secures what you build; it doesn't run a read-only agent on your servers with incident correlation and MITRE ATT&CK coverage.
Auto-fix is for code, not "come and fix the misconfiguration on my live server."

How Solvbeat is different

Solvbeat is built for the business owner, not the build pipeline. Point it at your website, install the agent on your servers, get a SOC layer and plain-English findings — and when something's wrong, we can fix it for you. From £38/mo, with certifications (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials) behind it.

Which should you choose?

Choose Aikido if you're a development team and code/cloud security is the job. Choose Solvbeat if you're any business that needs to be secure and certified without hiring a security engineer.
