Agent Vault vs AudioEye

Agent Vault and AudioEye don't overlap on capability, which is itself the point. Agent Vault is a MITM-proxy credential broker: you run it self-hosted via binary or Docker on a separate host, with a management UI/API on port 14321 and the MITM proxy on 14322. Agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and OpenCode route outbound HTTP/HTTPS through it; the broker matches service rules by target host and substitutes dummy credentials (e.g., anthropic_api_key, github_pat) with real secrets — or replaces auth headers entirely — before forwarding upstream. It supports multiple credential stores including Infisical and plaintext, short-lived token minting for ephemeral sandboxed agents, and integration via API, CLI, SDK, or MCP. AudioEye's feature set is entirely different: automated accessibility scanning, AI-powered issue detection and remediation, human expert audits, screen-reader simulation, color-contrast analysis, keyboard-navigation testing, VPAT/ACR documentation, continuous monitoring, an accessibility overlay, customizable compliance reports, and CMS integrations (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Shopify, Magento, Salesforce, Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, Jira) plus legal support and expert testimony. One hides secrets from AI agents; the other remediates web content for people with disabilities and documents compliance. There is no feature-for-feature comparison to make.

The pricing models barely resemble each other. Agent Vault is freemium: the product is open-source, and you self-host it, so your real cost is infrastructure and operational labor — a separate host, maintaining the proxy, and defining/maintaining service rules for each target HTTP service. There is no per-seat accessibility-style subscription in the data, and the 'pay' happens in engineering time rather than a vendor invoice. AudioEye is a paid, vendor-hosted platform: you buy a subscription to an end-to-end compliance service that bundles automated scanning, AI remediation, human audits, VPAT/ACR documentation, overlay, monitoring, CMS integrations, and legal support. AudioEye explicitly lists 'small businesses with limited budgets' under not_for, signalling enterprise-oriented pricing. So the comparison isn't 'which is cheaper' — it's capex vs. opex in entirely different cost centers: Agent Vault costs your platform team's time and a server; AudioEye costs a recurring compliance line item with no self-hosted option. A buyer evaluating one is not price-shopping against the other.
