Two different jobs

Snyk, Aikido, and Semgrep are excellent platforms for what they do: continuous, internal security for an in-house engineering team. Hykaro does something different: the deliverable audit a contractor hands to their client. It's not the same product.

Two ways to use Hykaro

Same engine, two models depending on your delivery cadence.

One-shot audit, per project. €199 to €299, an unlimited scan window, a deliverable PDF at the end. For point-in-time delivery.
Continuous CI Agent. The agent runs in your pipeline, unlimited client-side scans, your code never leaves your infrastructure, continuous proof building run after run. For studios and teams that ship on an ongoing basis.

Either way, billing stays per project, never per seat. That's what per-dev platforms can't do.

The gap in the market

Every competitor charges per seat, between $24 and $35/month per developer. None of them address the contractor use case: a freelancer or studio auditing a project before handoff, not a team writing code continuously.

Hykaro's per-project pricing isn't just a billing detail. It's the differentiator. One project = one deliverable = one line on the invoice.

When to use what

Internal team, continuous development → Snyk / Aikido / Semgrep.
You're delivering a project to a client and need to prove it → Hykaro, one-shot audit.
You ship continuously and want an ongoing paper trail → Hykaro, CI Agent.
