AuditKit is open source under a permissive license. You can audit the code yourself, contribute improvements, and avoid vendor lock-in. Pangea is a proprietary, closed-source platform.
Need to keep audit data on your own infrastructure for compliance or data residency requirements? AuditKit can be self-hosted. Pangea is cloud-only with no self-hosting option.
AuditKit offers clear usage-based pricing starting at $39/mo for 100K events. Pangea requires contacting sales for pricing, which typically means higher costs and longer procurement cycles.
AuditKit can be integrated in about 5 minutes with a simple SDK install and a few lines of code. Pangea typically requires around 2 hours to configure across its broader security platform.
