Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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.
Render
- The free Hobby workspace is limited to 25 services and 5 GB of bandwidth
- Every paid plan charges the workspace fee plus compute on top, so $25 per month for Pro is a floor rather than a total
- SAML SSO and SCIM require the Scale plan at $499 per month
- HIPAA-compliant workspaces, inbound IP rules and advanced RBAC roles are Scale plan features
- Organization-level audit logs require Scale; Pro provides only workspace audit logs
- Contractual uptime SLAs, support response SLAs and a technical account manager are Enterprise only, and Enterprise is custom priced with no published rate
- Included bandwidth is 25 GB on Pro and 1 TB on Scale, with usage beyond that billed separately
