One platform for everything, or depth on the pentest?
Aikido Security's pitch is consolidation — SAST, SCA, cloud and DAST in one place, with an autonomous pentest module added on. SuperPentest does one job and goes deep: an autonomous AI penetration test for web, API and the AI agents in your product, where every finding is reproduced from a clean session. Here is where each fits, with Aikido details from public materials as of October 2026.
The short version: if your goal is to replace several AppSec tools with one platform, Aikido's all-in-one suite is the draw and its autonomous pentest is a useful addition. If your goal is a deep penetration test — authenticated flows, business logic, the AI agents in your product, every finding reproduced — that specialisation is where SuperPentest focuses. These are different purchases: a suite versus a pentest.

Where Aikido is strong
Aikido Security, based in Ghent, is an all-in-one application-security platform that brings SAST, SCA, cloud security and DAST under one roof, with published, accessible pricing and a developer-friendly setup. It added autonomous AI pentesting focused on API security and authenticated routes, discovering endpoints through traffic and testing them with context-aware exploits. For a team that wants to consolidate several tools and reduce vendor sprawl, that breadth is the main attraction.
Where SuperPentest differs
SuperPentest is not a suite — it is a focused penetration test, and the depth shows. It performs authenticated testing as each identity you supply, reasons about business logic, and tests the AI agents inside your product (prompt injection, tool-call boundaries, MCP) — a surface a general AppSec suite typically does not touch. Every candidate is reproduced from a clean session with hash-chained request/response evidence mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, NIS2, DORA and OWASP, and it runs in the EU (Frankfurt).
