Compare
Compliance Everywhere vs.
Strix.
Strix is a real, free, open-source AI hacker, and if you want to read and fork the agents it is the right call. The comparison we can stand behind is one measured run: the same target, one hour, black-box, no human in the loop, counting only the findings whose exploit actually fired.
Side by side
| Criterion | Strix | Compliance Everywhere |
|---|---|---|
| Proven findings, black-box, one hour | 2 | 44+, exploit-proven |
| License and cost | Open-source (Apache-2.0), free to self-run | Managed subscription, from $299 a month, the SOC 2 included |
| Reads your code | Yes | Yes, reads the repo first |
| Proof per finding | Proof-of-concept exploit | Reproducible request, screen recording, and fix diff |
| Compliance attestation | Not in the open tool | SOC 2 controls plus an independent CPA who signs the report, billed to you directly |
| Runs in CI | Yes, on every pull request | Yes, on pull requests and monthly |
| Who operates it | You run, tune, and pay LLM tokens | Managed, nothing to run |
| Best for | Developers who want free, hackable, in-CI testing | Teams that need validated findings and audit-ready evidence |
The benchmark measures proven-finding throughput on one target over one hour. On price, Strix wins: it is free and open-source.

Which one
Same category, different priorities.
Pick Strix when
- Budget is the hard constraint. It is free and open-source; you pay only for LLM tokens.
- You want to own and modify the tool, and read or fork the agents.
- You live in CI and want a quick check on every pull request.
- You do not need an auditor to accept the output.
Pick Compliance Everywhere when
- You need depth of proven findings, not raw autonomy. Black-box, from a URL, that was 44+ to 2 in an hour.
- Every finding has to be reproducible: a request that fires, a screen recording, and a fix diff.
- An auditor has to accept the result. Your agent builds the controls, we run the test, and an independent CPA signs the report and bills you directly.
- You want findings in your tracker without running or tuning the tool yourself.
