What if you weight the criteria differently?
Our weights favor controls on the coding agent. If price visibility or a self-serve start matters more to you, raise those weights and the order changes. For costs at your team size, use the cost and score calculator.

Which AI coding assistants does each tool name?
The AI Coding Assistant Coverage Census records which assistants each vendor names as supported on its own public pages, as of October 2026. 'Not named' means we did not find the assistant on the pages we reviewed; it does not prove the tool cannot work with it.

- Codex: supported (per Legit)
- Snyk names "Claude" on the Evo page and "Claude Code" on its homepage.
- Aikido's entries refer to its IDE plugin (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf on the free plan), not to controls on the agent.
- Wiz Code's Copilot entry refers to its AI-BOM inventory of IDE extensions; its plugins are for Claude Code and Cursor.
- Backslash's homepage product screenshot shows Claude Code and Codex, but no support statement names them, so they are marked Not named.
- GitHub's entry refers to the built-in security checks on GitHub's own Copilot coding agent.
- Other assistants named by vendors: Amazon Q Developer (Legit), Tabnine (Cycode), Gemini Code Assist (Wiz Code AI-BOM), Antigravity (Endor Labs, Snyk), Qodo (Snyk), Gemini CLI (Apiiro MCP server).
