The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Atlas Cloud not every model accepts every request format. Each model publishes its own supported_apis list, and Gemini models expose their full multimodal capability only on the native Gemini format, so 'change the base URL' does not hold for every model.; Orca Security no public pricing; requires a demo and custom quote from sales.
  • They diverge on capability: Atlas Cloud covers 500+ models, one API key, Orca Security covers Agentless cloud scanning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 12 November 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Atlas Cloud

  • Not every model accepts every request format. Each model publishes its own supported_apis list, and Gemini models expose their full multimodal capability only on the native Gemini format, so 'change the base URL' does not hold for every model.
  • No Anthropic models were listed when checked in November 2026: the provider directory showed Anthropic with 0 models, so the Anthropic Messages format is a compatibility layer for other models rather than access to Claude.
  • The model count is stated inconsistently across the site: the homepage title says 400+, the vendor says 500+ and the pricing page listed 550, which makes it hard to know what is available without checking the live list.
  • Billing is prepaid. When the balance runs out new API requests are rejected with 402 Payment Required unless auto top-up is enabled, which matters for production workloads.
  • Most models are third-party models resold through the platform, so pricing and availability follow upstream providers and change often; prices on the pricing page are shown against a separate official price and discounts vary by model.

Orca Security

  • No public pricing; requires a demo and custom quote from sales.
  • Agentless-only scanning may miss some runtime telemetry that agent-based tools capture.
  • Full value depends on integrating many of the platform's modules across code, cloud, and AI.
  • Primarily targeted at mid-to-large organizations with multi-cloud environments.

Atlas Cloud: Is the Atlas Cloud API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. The base URL https://api.atlascloud.ai accepts OpenAI Chat Completions, Completions, Responses and Images requests, Anthropic Messages and Google Gemini requests with the same API key. Not every model supports every format; each model publishes a supported_apis list.

Source
Atlas Cloud: Can I use Atlas Cloud in ComfyUI?

Yes. The Atlas Cloud ComfyUI nodes, installed from the AtlasCloudAI/atlascloud_comfyui GitHub repository, call hosted models from a ComfyUI graph. Generation runs on Atlas Cloud, so large video and image models work without a local GPU.

Source
Atlas Cloud: What happens when my balance runs out?

New API requests are rejected with 402 Payment Required and you receive low-balance notifications. Service resumes as soon as you top up, and auto top-up can be enabled to avoid interruptions.

Source
Atlas Cloud: What is the Atlas Cloud Coding Plan?

A set of flat-rate subscriptions and 90-day credit packs for open-weight LLMs such as GLM, MiniMax, Kimi and DeepSeek, designed for coding agents including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Monthly subscriptions carry a weekly limit that resets every Monday.
