Aikido is the newer SCA that won the SMB segment — a unified SCA + secrets + IaC dashboard, a generous free tier, and reachability-based prioritization across the active dependency closure. It is also narrower on the operational side: no closed-form Rollback PR, no cloud-API regression detection, no cron / scheduled-job supervision, and a shallower SBOM than Snyk. Brackmoor ships the SCA-adjacent surface Aikido does — Rollback PR, one agent that watches deps + cloud + cron — and layers SBOM on top in the Enterprise tier.
Each one is a Fix-up PR when a contract test pins the breakage — or a Rollback PR when stepping back is the only safe move. Same loop as the home page and the /oss/* pages, tuned to what Aikido ships today.
Aikido unifies the SCA-class surface in one dashboard — open-source deps, secrets, IaC. The watch around your stack — Stripe / Twilio / AWS / GCP contract regressions, the cron that flaked at 03:14 UTC, the postinstall-script supply-chain diff — falls outside Aikido's scope and lands back on your platform team.
Reachability-based prioritization tells you which alert matters; it does not file the closed-form Rollback PR once a Fix-up PR flips a SemVer major and your contract test goes red. Brackmoor writes the Rollback PR — restore lockfile, revert minimal diff, contract test green — from the same agent that watched the alert.
The third-party API contract drift Brackmoor specialised in — Stripe flipping a response shape, Twilio changing a webhook payload, AWS renaming a parameter, GCP deprecating an SDK method — is outside Aikido's product surface entirely. Brackmoor watches the contract tests daily and files a Fix-up PR the moment one fails.
Aikido ships SBOM-style exports on paid tiers, but CycloneDX depth, SLSA levels, VEX, license policy, and the continuous SOC 2 evidence a regulated company has to hand a reviewer are a deeper surface than Aikido's free or team tier ships out of the box. Brackmoor publishes the SBOM diff on every digest regardless of tier.
Every dep / cloud-contract / cron surface Brackmoor watched the day before ends up here — what was yanked, what broke, what was repaired, and what was rolled back. Posted to #ops-digest in Slack before standup, so the team starts the day already in step.
Morning ops digest — 3 changes ran, 1 broke, 1 repaired.
Same cell vocabulary as the /pricing comparison table — “Included” means shipped in the row's tier, “Partial” means an addon / IDE plugin / narrower tier, “Not available” means the surface is out of scope. The Brackmoor column is washed with the brand color so the differentiator reads down the page.
