Aqua Security Pricing: Plans & Features 2026

Value Analysis

Aqua Security bypasses standard flat-rate pricing for its paid tiers, making direct comparison to a category median difficult as all core plans require custom quotes. The Developer Plan is free but strictly limited to basic risk and vulnerability scanning. For scaled operations, the Dev Security plan charges based on the number of code repositories, while the Cloud Security plan bills by the number of workloads. Given the high contract prices reported by users, the platform is a heavy financial commitment that only justifies its cost if you actively require its specialized real-time scanning and container security tools.

Hidden Costs

• Overage charges and scaling penalties as pricing is tied directly to the number of code repositories (Dev Security) or active workloads (Cloud Security).
• High entry barriers for small teams due to the lack of transparent, low-tier flat-rate pricing.
