The short version

  • Only Arnica has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Arnica per-identity pricing ($25-$50/person/year) requires tracking active developers; Oracle Government Cloud oracle publishes a separate US Public Sector part number detail list and a Managed Services for US/DoD Government list, so commercial price lists do not apply to government buyers
  • They diverge on capability: Arnica covers AI SAST, Oracle Government Cloud covers Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Arnica

  • On-premises deployment limited to Enterprise tier

Oracle Government Cloud

  • Oracle publishes a separate US Public Sector part number detail list and a Managed Services for US/DoD Government list, so commercial price lists do not apply to government buyers
  • Prices are distributed as downloadable PDF price lists rather than an interactive pricing page
  • Oracle states plainly that its commercial price lists are only for non-government agencies
