Where Credo AI Falls Short for AI Agents

Credo AI governs models. AI Identity governs the agents that use them.

No Runtime Gateway

Credo AI governs AI models at the policy layer but cannot intercept or enforce rules at request time. Violations are detected after the fact, not blocked in real time.

No Per-Agent Credentials

Credo AI treats AI systems as monolithic units. It has no concept of individual agent identity, scoped API keys, or per-agent credential rotation.

No Drop-In Integration

Credo AI requires deep platform integration, custom connectors, and weeks of professional services to deploy. AI Identity takes 15 minutes with a single URL change.

Enterprise-Only Pricing

Credo AI targets enterprises with contracts typically starting above $100K/year. Startups and mid-market teams are priced out of production-grade AI governance.

Why Teams Choose AI Identity

Runtime identity and governance that deploys in minutes, not months.

Runtime Enforcement, Not Just Policy

AI Identity enforces policies at the gateway level in real time. Every request is authenticated, authorized, and logged before it reaches the LLM provider.

Cryptographic Agent Identity

Every agent gets a unique aid_sk_ key with scoped permissions. Revoke, rotate, or audit any single agent without touching the rest of your fleet.

Deploy in 15 Minutes

Point your agents at the AI Identity gateway instead of calling LLM providers directly. One URL change, no SDK, no professional services engagement.

Accessible Pricing

AI Identity Pro starts at $79/mo for up to 50 agents. Get enterprise-grade governance without the enterprise price tag or multi-month procurement cycle.
