Aikido Security Drops AI Pentest Price
Aikido Security has updated its AI Pentesting pricing model, lowering the starting price from $950 to $500 and introducing dynamic cost estimates based on application size, endpoint coverage, and testing depth. The update aims to eliminate high-friction sales calls by integrating cost transparency directly into the product experience, allowing smaller engineering teams to estimate and buy pentests autonomously.
Security procurement is notoriously high-friction, making Aikido’s self-serve, transparent model a refreshing shift that treats cybersecurity testing as a developer-friendly SaaS utility rather than an enterprise sales negotiation.
- –**Lower Entry Barrier:** Reducing the starting cost to $500 enables smaller startups and developers to run professional pentests that were previously cost-prohibitive.
- –**Frictionless Buying:** Upfront pricing calculation based on app parameters eliminates the dreaded "talk to sales" step.
- –**Accurate Estimations:** Improved accuracy in estimating application footprint prevents smaller projects from overpaying.
