CodeAnt nailed the AI-first UX. CodeStax keeps that UX and extends coverage to IaC, containers, and code-quality — with enterprise controls included.
Our opinionated read on where CodeStax leads and where CodeAnt holds ground.
Drag the sliders. Same scan surface. Flat per-seat pricing vs CodeAnt.
Based on published rates. Your actual quote may differ.
Estimate based on publicly available CodeAnt per-dev pricing (~$20/dev/mo mid-tier). Actual CodeAnt quotes vary by seats and compliance adders.
The comparison your security + platform teams will do anyway — laid out plainly.

What your developer actually sees when a risky change lands.

Things that don't show up on the pricing page, but do show up in the invoice and the roadmap.
CodeStax ships mature IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes) and container scanning out of the box. CodeAnt treats these as lighter add-ons.
SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR reports ship with CodeStax Pro. CodeAnt gates them behind enterprise-tier contracts.
CodeStax Pro emits deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR. CodeAnt doesn't offer DORA.
CodeStax supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket (Cloud + Server) natively. CodeAnt's Bitbucket story is less mature.
Seven reasons we hear from teams that consolidated onto CodeStax.
CodeStax Growth at $12/seat/mo is ~40% cheaper than mid-tier CodeAnt, with compliance and DORA included in Pro.
2-minute OAuth vs CodeAnt's ~5-minute install. Same low friction, slightly tighter.
Both AI-first on PRs. CodeStax adds unified dashboards for six engines, not scattered sub-products.
IaC + container + code-quality are first-class in CodeStax Growth. CodeAnt treats these as lighter tiers.
Both use AI triage. CodeStax applies it across every engine — CodeAnt is strongest on SAST.
Committable fix diffs across SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, and containers. CodeAnt's fix suggestions skew toward code-level issues.
Non-blocking default + opt-in critical-only gates. Same UX philosophy as CodeAnt, wider surface covered per scan.
Most teams cut over in a single sprint. Here's the arc.
Connect your VCS. All six engines available from the first scan.
Run CodeStax next to CodeAnt on a pilot repo for a sprint.
Bring existing triage state via SARIF or manual import.
Enable non-blocking PR comments. Opt into critical-only CI gates later.
Disable CodeAnt once parity is confirmed. Pocket the savings.
