Comparisons
How to evaluate a protection platform
Rather than a marketing scoreboard, here is the honest checklist we'd use ourselves. Apply it to ArxLayer and to anyone else you're considering.
What to compare
Six things that actually matter
Detection transparency
Can you see exactly what is detected and why? ArxLayer runs the open OWASP Core Rule Set on Coraza — no proprietary black box.
Key custody
Does the enforcement layer hold your private keys? On ArxLayer it never does — custody and certificates live behind separate boundaries.
API-first control
Is protection managed as versioned, reversible code, or clicked into a console? ArxLayer is API-first end to end.
Breadth across surfaces
One platform for web, API, agent, and bot — or four point products to integrate? ArxLayer unifies them under one control plane.
Honesty about AI & bots
Beware overclaims. ArxLayer is explicit: challenges are not human CAPTCHAs, and the Agent Gateway is enforcement, not prompt-injection detection.
Pricing you can predict
Start free, then scale by usage on a shared tier ladder (Startup, Growth, Scale, Enterprise) — per-product meters and bundles, with no surprise charges.
