SQLGuard · vs
We do not compete as an AI security platform. We own statement-level authorization before production SQL writes. Wedge: The authorization gateway for AI database actions. Lead price: Builder $99/mo (under Interdict ~$149) · Pilot $100.00 Exact with founding $40 rebate (net $60) · never race Agent402 $0.004.
| Them | SQLGuard | Why we win |
|---|---|---|
| Permission Protocol (~$100/signer/mo, min ~$300) Authority receipt before consequential agent actions — monthly per signer | SQL beachhead: Exact Pilot $100.00 (founding rebate $40 → net $60 first) or Gateway Builder $99/mo invoice | Same category (permission before action). We bind Ed25519 PASS to exact SQL — cheaper entry than multi-signer SaaS for DB agents. |
| Interdict Team Cloud (~$149/mo/DB waitlist) Local Postgres policy + terminal approve + undo; Team Cloud Slack approve | Portable HTTP Authorization Receipt + /v1/verify. Invoice Builder $99/mo undercuts $149 for statement authorize (not local-only). | Local chat approval dies with the process. We issue a receipt any executor can verify after the agent leaves. |
| Synapsor Builder (~$20/mo) Governed write proposals / Data PRs | Statement PASS before execute. Pilot $100.00 Exact (rebate net $60 first) · Builder $99/mo | Proposal staging ≠ exact-statement Authorization Receipt. We sit after access, before mutate. |
| Agent402 sql-guard / sql-cert-verify (~$0.004 / $0.001) Lexical risk catalogue / verify-only — honesty text admits not tenant WHERE | Financially bonded Exact PASS we issue + free /v1/verify | Do not price-match pennies. Lint tip ≠ authorize. Own bonded receipt. |
| sealca/sqlguard-mcp · sqlguard.app SSMS · name collisions Confirm UX, SSMS F5 intercept, or local impact UX | Financially bonded Exact USDC Authorization Receipt + portable /v1/verify | Confirm ≠ receipt. Agents need a verify-able sql_hash bond before production mutate. |
| Noma / Nightfall / enterprise AI-TRiSM Discover agents, govern MCP allowlists, runtime DLP | Signed PASS for the exact mutating SQL + change-control receipt | They are a security expense. We are a sales unlock for AI products that need customers to connect data. |
| DataMCP / managed Postgres MCP · MintMCP / Bytebase Hosted MCP / access / change-issue workflow | Portable authorize layer in front of any MCP/SQL write tool | They replace or govern access. We authorize the exact write wherever the agent already runs. |
| PayAI sql/check · query-safety tips Cheap pass/caution/block on SQL text | Ed25519 Execution Certificate bound to sql_hash + policy + sandbox | Lint is not authorization. Tips do not verify. PASS does. |
| Read-only DB gateways Never allow writes | Controlled writes: ALLOW / DENY / REQUIRE_APPROVAL | Customers eventually need agents to act — we are the unlock. |
