SAST/SCA and AI pentest
Supahound vs Aikido: AppSec suite and pentests vs live Supabase monitoring
Aikido Security is a developer AppSec suite (SCA, SAST, secrets, cloud, DAST and runtime protection) with AI pentests that connect to Supabase. Supahound watches production Supabase edge logs and flags abnormal traffic per user. Aikido tests your app at a point in time; Supahound watches it between tests.

How do Supahound and Aikido compare?
| Question | Supahound | Aikido |
|---|---|---|
| Scans code and dependencies? | No. | Yes. SCA, SAST, AI SAST, secrets, IaC and containers. |
| Tests Supabase by attacking it? | No. Detection only. | Yes. AI pentests test RLS, storage, Edge Functions, PostgREST, Auth and more. |
| Watches live Supabase traffic? | Yes. Edge logs every 1–2 minutes on paid plans. | Not described. Its runtime protection uses its own in-app agent, not Supabase logs. |
| Cross-user data leaks? | Detects cross-tenant reads as they happen. | Pentests test IDOR (cross-user data leakage). |
| Compliance pentest reports? | No. | Yes. Audit-grade reports for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. |
| How it connects to Supabase | Read-only OAuth. | OAuth for pentests, with no personal access token stored. |
What does Aikido do well?
- A broad free tier: SCA, SAST and AI SAST, secrets detection, cloud misconfiguration, IaC, container scanning and DAST.
- The AI pentest connects to a Supabase organization by OAuth (no personal access token stored) and tests RLS, storage buckets, Edge Functions, PostgREST exposure, Auth, Realtime and key exposure.
- Pentests test IDOR (cross-user data leakage) and role-based access, with audit-grade reports for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
- Available as an AI pentest connector inside Lovable.
What does Aikido not cover?
- Pentests test the app at a point in time, or per deploy on the quote-only continuous plan. They do not watch production Supabase logs for attacks in progress.
- Code scanning reads repositories, not Supabase runtime traffic.
- Per-project monitoring of live Supabase traffic is not described. Paid tiers are priced per team, not per Supabase project.
How much does Aikido cost?
The Developer tier is $0, free forever, for 2 users, 10 repos, 1 domain and 250k protected requests per month. Paid tiers (Basic, Pro and Advanced) are priced by number of users on Aikido's pricing page. A Typical Pentest is $4,000 per assessment; a Rightsized Pentest runs from $50 to $30,000+, scoped to the app; continuous testing is by quote. Aikido's pentest terms say "No High or Critical Finding = Don't Pay". Supahound's posture scan is free; runtime detection is $29 per project per month (pricing).
Which one should I choose?
Choose Aikido if you need code scanning, compliance-grade pentest reports and a broad AppSec platform more than live Supabase traffic monitoring.
Choose Supahound if you want to know, within minutes, when a real user reads across tenants or a service key is misused in production, at a per-project price.
Frequently asked questions
- Aikido's pentest already tests IDOR. Why would I add Supahound?
- A pentest proves whether a cross-user leak is possible when it runs. Supahound tells you when a real user actually reads other users' rows in production.
- Does Aikido read Supabase logs?
- No. Aikido's runtime protection counts protected requests through its own in-app agent; it does not read Supabase edge logs. Aikido connects to Supabase for pentests.
- Can Supahound produce a SOC 2 pentest report?
- No. Supahound does not produce compliance pentest reports. If an auditor or a customer asks for one, Aikido or a pentest vendor fits that need.
