Akuity FAQ
Common questions about Akuity, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is Akuity?
Kargo Enterprise automates the intermediate step between building and deploying code, moving changes through development, staging, and production environments. It orchestrates promotion across Kubernetes, VMs, Terraform, and other infrastructure types with policy enforcement, automated verification, and multi-cluster coordination. It is indexed under Gitops.

How much does Akuity cost?
Akuity does not publish its prices. Pricing is quoted on request, across 2 plans (Pro and Enterprise), so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.

What platforms does Akuity support?
Akuity supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Source: https://akuity.io/pricing
Can Akuity be self-hosted?
Yes. Akuity can be deployed cloud / SaaS, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Source: https://akuity.io/pricing
What does Akuity integrate with?
We have confirmed 13 integrations for Akuity, including Argo CD, Kargo, Kubernetes, Helm, Slack, GitHub, GitLab and OCI Registry, plus 5 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://akuity.io/
What security certifications does Akuity have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR for Akuity. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Akuity not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Akuity, not the verdict.
