Aikido at a glance: what it tests, who does the testing, published prices, turnaround, retesting and sample reports. Sourced and dated.

Aikido sells an AI pentest with fixed and scoped pricing, plus continuous testing. Reports are aimed at SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA evidence, and a human-led CREST pentest can be requested.
- Website: https://www.aikido.dev/
- Type: Application security platform
- Delivery: automated. AI agents map, attack and verify; a human-led CREST pentest is available on request.
- Scope: Web apps yes; APIs yes; Cloud unknown; Network yes; Mobile yes; AI apps yes
- Pricing model: mixed
  - TYPICAL Pentest: $4,000 per assessment (One application plus its primary APIs, whitebox; black-box and grey-box cost extra; same-day results; free retests for up to 6 months; no High or Critical finding means no charge.) https://www.aikido.dev/pricing
  - Rightsized Pentest: $50 to $30,000+ per assessment (Scoped to the application from the repos, endpoints and roles; priced by number of AI agents and credits.) https://www.aikido.dev/pricing
- Pricing note: Both prices are one-off assessments, not subscriptions. Continuous testing is custom priced. Aikido's platform subscriptions (separate from pentests) are not listed here. Prices are also shown in EUR, GBP and INR.
- Turnaround: TYPICAL Pentest: same-day results. The AI pentest page also says a few hours, minutes, and in one place a report in days. (Time to results for an automated run; the page's statements are not consistent.)
- Retesting: Free retesting for up to 6 months, including checks for bypasses of fixes.
- Sample report: public https://www.aikido.dev/attack/aipentest
- Credentials: SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, CREST (as listed on the AI pentest page; CREST may relate to the human-led option) (https://www.aikido.dev/attack/aipentest)
- Compliance mentioned: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA
Good fit when: Small and mid-size teams that need a low-cost, fast automated pentest for audit evidence, with a pay-only-if-serious-findings guarantee.
Tradeoffs: The Rightsized range is very wide, so the real price is only known after scoping. Sample reports found cover network, mobile and AI, not web/API.
