The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Legit Security pricing requires contacting sales, making cost comparison difficult; NEOGOV each module is shallower than the specialist product it competes with, so agencies buying the full suite for coherence accept weaker performance management and learning than they would get separately.
  • They diverge on capability: Legit Security covers VibeGuard AI code scanning, NEOGOV covers Civil service recruiting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Legit Security

  • Pricing requires contacting sales, making cost comparison difficult
  • No published pricing tiers or free tier available
  • Requires integration with existing SAST and SCA tools for full capability
  • Focused primarily on code security within development lifecycle
  • Newer entrant with less market presence than established competitors

NEOGOV

  • Each module is shallower than the specialist product it competes with, so agencies buying the full suite for coherence accept weaker performance management and learning than they would get separately.
  • Policy management arrived through the PowerDMS acquisition rather than being built in, and the join between it and the rest of the suite still reads as two products.
  • Implementation is long and configuration heavy because the civil service rules that make the product valuable have to be encoded for your jurisdiction, and that work is billed.
  • Pricing is not published and scales with headcount, so a large agency can pay several times what a comparable one pays without knowing it unless someone reads the public contracts.
  • Private equity ownership since the Warburg Pincus investment has coincided with an acquisition led strategy, and buyers should expect further products bolted on rather than deeper integration of the existing ones.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Legit Security: What is VibeGuard and how does it work?

VibeGuard is Legit Security's core feature that scans AI-generated code directly within IDEs like GitHub Copilot and Cursor, identifying vulnerabilities before code leaves the developer's editor.

Source
NEOGOV: Why not use a commercial applicant tracking system?

Because civil service rules such as ranked eligibility lists, rule of three certification and veterans preference are not expressible in commercial products, so the statutory steps end up in spreadsheets.

Legit Security: What AI code assistants does Legit Security support?

Legit Security integrates with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude to scan AI-generated code for vulnerabilities.

Source
NEOGOV: Can I find out what other agencies pay?

Yes. These are public procurements, so executed contract values appear in council agenda packets and state term contract listings. Read several before negotiating.

Legit Security: How does Legit Security's AI remediation feature work?

The platform uses AI to suggest specific code fixes for identified vulnerabilities and can automatically create tickets in Jira with full context for developers to review and apply.

Source
NEOGOV: What did NEOGOV acquire?

PowerDMS, a policy management and accreditation product, in 2021, which is now sold as the policy module of the suite.

Legit Security: Does Legit Security support compliance reporting?

Yes, Legit Security automates compliance automation with SBOM generation and can generate compliance reports for security and regulatory requirements.

Source
NEOGOV: Is it only for the United States?

Effectively yes. The value is in encoding US civil service and public safety requirements.
