Enforce budgets, stop prompt injection, detect bots, and protect personal information with security building blocks configured in just a few lines of code. By enforcing security inline at the application layer, Arcjet protects apps with real identity and session context, something network-level tools can't see. Teams ship fast with confidence, without slowing down development or adding infrastructure complexity. Unlike WAFs and traditional tools that rely on agents or proxies, Arcjet rules live in your code: configured by developers or coding agents via MCP, CLI, or SDK, tuned like any other code change, and versioned alongside your application. For security leaders, this means fewer false positives, better threat visibility, and protection that evolves as fast as the application does, with no extra infrastructure or operational overhead. Arcjet provides SDKs for JavaScript and TypeScript (Node.js, Bun, Deno, Next.js, SvelteKit, Astro, Nuxt, and more), plus Go and Python. * * * Product Website Arcjet Seller [Arcjet](https://www.g2.com/sellers/arcjet) Discussions [Arcjet Community](https://www.g2.com/products/arcjet/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Cassie Gatton Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Arcjet. ### Individual $25.00 1 Seat Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/arcjet/pricing) ## Arcjet Integrations (3) What do users say about integrations?

CK Chidume K. Technical Writer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/7/2026 "Arcjet Makes API Security Integration Simple and Effective" 5/5 What do you like best about Arcjet? What I like most about Arcjet is how easy it makes it to integrate security features into an application. The rate-limiting feature was especially useful because it let me protect my API from excessive requests by automatically rejecting repeated calls within a defined time window. It was simple to configure, and the documentation helped keep the implementation process smooth. The main downside I ran into was during development. Because I was constantly testing and making frequent API calls, the rate limiting would often end up blocking my own requests. To make development easier, I had to raise the limit or temporarily disable rate limiting in my development environment. That said, it wasn’t a problem in production, where it worked exactly as intended and did a good job protecting my API from abuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcjet? One thing I disliked was that the bot protection occasionally flagged some of my legitimate requests as bot traffic during development and testing. Since I was making many rapid requests while debugging, I sometimes had to adjust or temporarily disable the protection in my development environment. It would be helpful to have an easier way to distinguish trusted development traffic from actual bot activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcjet solving and how is that benefiting you? Arcjet solves the problem of securing web applications against abuse without requiring developers to build complex security systems from scratch. In my case, it helped me protect my API by implementing rate limiting, preventing excessive or repeated requests within a specified time window. This reduced the risk of abuse while allowing me to focus on developing the application instead of writing custom security logic. It also provided bot protection, helping safeguard the application from automated traffic once it was deployed to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/8/2026 "Easy Arcjet Integration for Strong AI Security Controls" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Arcjet? I used Arcjet in a personal AI banking project for PII detection and setting token/usage limits. It was really easy to integrate, and I liked that I could add security controls directly into the application instead of building them from scratch. For an AI application handling sensitive financial data, it made it much easier to control what could reach the model and prevent excessive usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcjet? The only downside for me was that it could get a bit expensive if you move beyond a small personal project. I’d love to see a more generous free tier for experimenting and smaller projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcjet solving and how is that benefiting you? It helped me protect sensitive financial data in my AI banking app with PII detection and control AI usage with token limits, without having to build those security features from scratch.

I like that Arcjet basically acts as a service. Initially, it was a bit difficult to get my agents to incorporate it correctly due to some configuration issues, but once I had the patterns in the repo, it started consuming it as a service smoothly. The agents just needed some system prompting and better understanding of TypeScript. It was quick to use, and I think it's great, especially if you're building with Vercel. I find it a very easy thing to reach for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcjet? I think that some documentation or skills for agents to incorporate Arcjet would ease the onboarding for me. It was initially like a plug-and-play service, so I didn't have to worry deeply about bot detection. However, I faced difficulties with different subscription levels, user management and configuring sliding windows and rate limits for endpoints. The agents struggled with this setup, and it became confusing for them, especially with how Arcjet interacts with tools like Effect.ts. It would be nice to have readymade documentation and patterns for multiple user tiers and a smoother path for implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcjet solving and how is that benefiting you? Arcjet offers a simple way to handle bot detection, freeing me to pursue features like guest flow without worrying about API endpoint abuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Arcjet pretty simple as it runs on middleware, and its SDKs are pretty good. I appreciate the first-party support for Next.js, FastAPI, and Flask, which I use, as many other services lack such coverage. Arcjet provides security for my email validation fields against spam. It's pretty good for what it does and quite flexible. The setup was pretty easy, and now with the skills, it's even easier. I appreciate the good documentation as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcjet? I wish there was first-party support for the 10stack router in the SDKs. I know there's React router, but I'd prefer 10stack. Also, there's just a lack of information on the dashboard, and I feel like it could look a bit cooler. I'm not sure if Arcjet has built-in rate limiting because we use Redis for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcjet solving and how is that benefiting you? Arcjet helps with email validation, spam protection, and bot filtering. It ensures my validation fields are secure without needing extra work. I use it for blocking internet crawlers, and it gives confidence that spam won't affect my fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
