Score or evidence
Aikido

Findings are listed with severity across code, dependencies, cloud and runtime, rather than a single score.

Source: https://www.aikido.dev/ (read 2026-09-14)

ShipReady

No score, no grade, no badge. Every finding shows the request that produced it and the date it was read.

What they show and what they keep
Aikido

Requires an account and connections to repositories, cloud accounts or container systems before findings appear.

ShipReady

The full free result is shown to anyone with the check id. Nothing is gated behind a paywall or an account.

What they do to your app
Aikido

Reads private code and cloud configuration after you connect it. Public pages describe a dynamic testing add-on rather than default live probing.

ShipReady

Deterministic outside requests only. Never signs in, never executes a function on your database, never reads another account's data.

What neither can see from outside

Neither an outside scanner nor a public research report can prove these from a URL. They need code, account, runtime or operational access.

  • Rollback and recovery. Whether you can put the previous version back, and how long that takes.
  • Error monitoring. Whether a failure in production reaches a human rather than sitting in a log nobody opens.
  • Sign in and account flows. Whether sign in, password or code reset, and session expiry behave under real use.
  • Rate limiting and abuse controls. Whether a script can hammer your forms, sign up loop, or paid endpoints without being slowed down.
  • Key rotation. Whether you can replace a leaked key quickly and know everywhere it is used.
  • Certificate expiry date. Whether the certificate is close to expiring. A normal request proves the certificate is valid right now, and the runtime this check uses cannot read the expiry date from that request.
  • One account reading another account's data. Whether a signed in account can reach another account's records by changing an id. ShipReady does not create accounts, sign in, or call your functions, so this cannot be answered from outside.
  • Payment handling. Whether payment events are verified, replay safe, and matched to the right customer record.
  • Customer data handling. Whether stored personal details are limited, deletable on request, and out of your logs.
  • AI feature controls. Whether prompts, spend, and model output are bounded so one visitor cannot run up the bill.
  • Database row rules. Whether the row rules behind the app actually stop one signed in account reading another's rows.
Fixes
Aikido

Findings link into engineering workflows and issue trackers. Public pages do not list per-builder fix prompts.

ShipReady

Every finding carries five fix prompts for Lovable, Bolt, Base44, v0 and generic coding assistants, hand written per finding.

ShipReady

You can stop at the free check, or buy the Release Gate at $49 for the package, the Launch Review at $199 for a person, or the Hardening Sprint at $1,750 for the fix work.

Competitor strengths

Brings code, dependency, container, cloud and runtime findings into one engineering platform for a team that can connect its development systems.

Choose Aikido if

You have a repository, cloud account, and team that can triage findings in an engineering platform, and you want one place that spans code, dependencies, cloud and runtime.

ShipReady statuses explained

Observed means an outside request produced direct evidence.

Declared means the app owner supplied the information.

Not verified means the item needs code, account, runtime or operational access.

Could not check means the attempt did not produce a reliable answer.
