FAQ
Can I use Aikido to replace both Snyk and other tools like StackHawk or Invicti?
Yes. Aikido covers what most teams need from SAST, SCA, DAST, API security, and more—reducing tool sprawl.
Why are devs switching from Snyk to Aikido?
Snyk users report clunky UX, high costs, too much noise, and limited coverage. Aikido fixes all of that.
Do you charge extra for recursive scans or open source dependencies?
No. Aikido doesn’t nickel-and-dime you for scanning transitive dependencies.
Is Aikido suitable for large teams?
Yes. Aikido scales well across large organizations and consolidates tools to reduce dev and security overhead.
Will I get support if I don’t spend $20k?
Yes. Unlike Snyk, Aikido provides real support no matter your contract size. No tiered nonsense.
Is it hard to switch from Snyk to Aikido?
No. Teams switching typically get up and running in a day. We support rip-and-replace workflows and have already replaced Snyk at companies like Visma and OTHER EXAMPLE.
How does Aikido handle false positives?
Aikido uses advanced filtering and reachability analysis to reduce false positives by ~85%, so developers spend less time triaging noise.
Does Aikido offer better coverage than Snyk?
Yes. Aikido includes DAST, API scanning, CSPM, and malware scanning by default—whereas Snyk often requires separate tools or lacks full coverage.
How does Aikido’s pricing compare to Snyk’s?
Aikido charges a flat, transparent fee. Snyk pricing scales aggressively by developer count, adds-on features (like CI/CD), and typically requires a $20k+ spend for support.
Why would I choose Aikido over Snyk?
Aikido is easier to use, delivers fewer false positives, covers more of the SDLC, and has a transparent pricing model that doesn’t punish you for scale.
I don’t want to connect my repository. Can I try it with a test account?
Of course! When you sign up with your git, don’t give access to any repo & select the demo repo instead!
