Where Aikido wins
If you want one developer-friendly dashboard covering dependencies, cloud posture, secrets, and code, Aikido is a strong modern platform. For a team that wants broad AppSec coverage in a single tool without enterprise heaviness, it is a sensible pick.
Where Prbl is different
Aikido spreads across the whole security surface. Prbl goes deep on one slice: the code an AI assistant wrote and the mistakes it makes repeatedly, including hardcoded secrets in scaffolding, missing authentication on generated routes, fallback secrets in environment lookups, and Broken Object Level Authorization. It also scans your deployed app from the outside for exposure that never shows up in the repo.
Which to choose
Aikido is the broad platform; Prbl is the sharp AI-code check. If you rely heavily on Cursor, Copilot, Lovable, or Claude Code, Prbl adds signal Aikido is not tuned for, and the two work well together.
Frequently asked questions
Is Prbl a replacement for Aikido?
No. Aikido is a broad AppSec platform covering SCA, cloud, secrets, and SAST. Prbl is narrow, built specifically to catch what AI coding tools like Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code get wrong. Most teams use Aikido for breadth and Prbl for AI-code-specific signal.
Can I run Prbl and Aikido together?
Yes, and many teams do. They check different things: Aikido covers dependencies, cloud posture, and general SAST rules. Prbl checks whether your code was AI-generated and flags the narrow set of ways that fails, plus a live-URL exposure check Aikido doesn't do.
Does Prbl check live apps the way Aikido checks cloud posture?
Prbl's live-URL check looks specifically for exposed keys, open Supabase tables, and unprotected routes reachable by an anonymous visitor. It is not a full cloud posture scan; it is focused on what a logged-out visitor's browser can already see.
