Akto API Security Platform's free tier caps usage at 25 API endpoints and 12,500 tests per month with only 1 custom test, making it suitable for basic evaluation but limited for real-world coverage. G2 reviewers in higher education and small business segments confirm the free version's restricted functionality as a key driver toward upgrading. Akto API Security Platform's Professional tier at $1,890/month raises those limits to 500 endpoints and 1 million tests, and adds Jira integration, CI/CD pipeline support, alerting, and reporting — features G2 users consistently highlight as essential. The Enterprise tier further adds unlimited endpoints, mutual TLS, data redaction, and 24/7 expert support for complex compliance-driven environments.
