The short version

  • Only Grype has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub visa now owns the vendor, so an institution buying scheme-neutral infrastructure, or one competing with Visa value added services, has a governance question that did not exist before December 2024.; Grype depends on public vulnerability databases, so coverage and false positives vary by ecosystem
  • They diverge on capability: Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub covers Adaptive behavioural analytics, Grype covers Image and filesystem scanning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub

  • A UK bank exposed to mandatory reimbursement for authorised push payment scams and needing to intervene before the payment leavesnot Grype
  • An acquirer scoring merchant transactions in real time to reduce chargeback exposure without raising decline ratesnot Grype
  • A card issuer replacing a rules-only fraud engine whose false positive rate is driving genuine customer declinesnot Grype
  • A payments processor that needs one behavioural engine serving both fraud and AML rather than two separate stacksnot Grype

Where each one falls short

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

Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub

  • Visa now owns the vendor, so an institution buying scheme-neutral infrastructure, or one competing with Visa value added services, has a governance question that did not exist before December 2024.
  • Pricing is not published and is volume-linked, which makes the cost of a growth year hard to forecast during a three year business case.
  • Adaptive models are harder to explain to a regulator than deterministic rules, and model risk teams often demand parallel rule coverage that erodes the operational saving.
  • Behavioural profiling needs history, so newly onboarded customers and low frequency accounts are scored with thin data and the detection lift is smallest exactly where fraud concentrates.
  • Deployment into an existing payment path is an engineering project with latency budgets to hit, and banks with legacy core systems often find the integration, not the analytics, is the schedule risk.

Grype

  • Depends on public vulnerability databases, so coverage and false positives vary by ecosystem
  • No triage, exception tracking or reporting UI — that is Anchore’s commercial product
  • Overlaps heavily with Trivy, and most teams pick one rather than running both

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub: Is Featurespace still sold as its own product?

Yes. ARIC Risk Hub continues to be sold under the Featurespace name, described as a Visa solution, and is available to non-Visa institutions.

Grype: Is Grype free?

Yes, open source from Anchore. Anchore Enterprise is the paid platform around it.

Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub: Does using it require being a Visa customer?

No. The platform is sold to banks, acquirers and processors regardless of scheme relationships, though the ownership is a reasonable governance consideration.

Grype: What is the difference between Grype and Syft?

Syft generates the software bill of materials; Grype matches that inventory against vulnerability data. They are designed to be used together.

Featurespace ARIC Risk Hub: Can it run on premises?

Yes. On premises deployment is supported, which matters for institutions with data residency constraints.

Grype: Grype or Trivy?

They cover similar ground. Trivy is broader out of the box, including misconfiguration and secret scanning; Grype pairs more cleanly with an SBOM-first workflow.
