When to choose TriggerLab

  • You are a startup, indie developer, or small team
  • You want to start testing immediately without a sales call
  • You need a free tier to validate before committing budget
  • You want cryptographically signed certificates for your customers
  • You need an agent directory listing to build trust
  • Your budget is under $200/month for testing infrastructure

When to choose Virtue AI

  • You are a Fortune 500 or large enterprise with a dedicated security team
  • You need runtime guardrails (sub-10ms) in production, not just pre-deployment testing
  • You require multimodal security (image, audio, video, code)
  • You need coverage across 1,000+ risk categories
  • You need a Gartner-recognized vendor for procurement approval
  • You have enterprise budget for comprehensive AI governance

The bottom line

Virtue AI is the gold standard for enterprise AI security. If you're deploying agents at scale across a large organization with dedicated security and compliance teams, Virtue AI is likely the right choice.

TriggerLab is built for everyone else — the startup founder who needs to prove their agent is safe before their first enterprise customer, the solo developer who wants a signed certificate for their portfolio, or the small team that needs compliance mapping without a six-figure contract. Same mission, different scale.

Enterprise-grade testing. Startup-friendly pricing.

105+ adversarial attacks. Signed certificates. Compliance mapping. Starting at $0.
