Best alternatives to CodeAnt AI in 2026

Most companies find out about a security hole in their software either from a hacker or from an expensive human penetration-testing firm they hire once a year. CodeAnt AI tries to close that gap by running an AI "attacker" continuously against your own code and cloud setup, mapping out what could actually be broken into and suggesting the fix, instead of waiting for an annual audit. CodeAnt AI is an AI-powered application security platform combining agentic pentesting (autonomous attack-surface mapping and exploit attempts), AI code review of pull requests, cloud threat detection, Static and Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and third-party package vulnerability scanning, with IDE and CLI integration. It's aimed at startups through large enterprises running offensive security testing alongside day-to-day code review. Pricing includes a 14-day free trial with 100 PR reviews, a Premium tier at $24/user/month for unlimited PR reviews, and custom Enterprise pricing; open-source projects get a free tier. The company, founded by Amartya Jha and Chinmay Bharti (credited with 100+ CVE discoveries), is valued at $60M with 300+ customers as of 2026.
