Rainforest vs Aikido
Aikido bundles open-source scanners for small teams. Rainforest brings purpose-built, deeper analyses with local code scanning and unified correlation.
Aikido Security is a young, SMB-focused platform (founded 2022) that puts many scanners — much of it aggregated open source — behind one simple interface with flat pricing. It's an easy on-ramp for startups, but reviewers note that depth is the trade-off for that breadth and speed.
