Aedeon vs Blitzy · Updated October 13, 2026

Aedeon vs Blitzy: what you pay, what you approve, and what you can prove.

Blitzy runs thousands of agents for days on a spec and hands back most of a project. Aedeon is the system of record for how your software actually works, and the engine that evolves it.

Both products start by reading your code into a knowledge graph. After that they part ways. Blitzy is built around one long autonomous run. Aedeon plans each change from a single sentence, shows its price before anyone approves it, and checks the result against the old system on your production traffic before it ships.

How the work moves

One long run, or one gate at a time.

Blitzy

One autonomous run, days or weeks long

  1. Spec in.Your team writes the prompt and approves a technical specification.
  2. Run.Thousands of agents work uninterrupted for days or weeks.
  3. Hand-back.Compiled code, end-to-end tests and a guide to the work that remains.
  4. Finish.Your engineers complete the rest and run their own QA before release.

Lane note: Blitzy’s FAQ says a job cannot be canceled once submitted.

Aedeon

Priced first, then approved gate by gate

  1. Sentence in.“Get us off Oracle.”
  2. Plan and price.Eleven steps with target files and an estimated cost, edited by your architects.
  3. Gates.Each step runs only after a person approves it.
  4. Replay.Old and new systems compared on production traffic. Zero divergences opens the gate.
  5. Ship.The change lands in your Git with its full history.

Lane note: You pay for the credits the steps actually used.

Blitzy is designed to return as much of a project as it can from one run. Aedeon is designed so that each change is priced, approved and verified before it ships.

The short answer

Blitzy returns most of a project. Aedeon returns a verified change.

Blitzy

Blitzy sells autonomous software development to large enterprises. Its platform reverse engineers codebases of 100 million lines and more into a knowledge graph. Blitzy then coordinates thousands of agents across days or weeks to deliver 80 percent or more of a project as compiled, tested code, with a guide for the remaining work.

Aedeon

Aedeon maps your applications, databases, pipelines and business rules into one living graph and keeps it as your system of record. You describe an outcome in one sentence. Aedeon Supervisor writes the plan and its estimated cost, a person approves every gate, and Aedeon Evolve verifies the result on production traffic before it lands in your Git.

Which to choose

Choose Blitzy for large build programs where output per run matters most and your team will finish and test the remainder. Aedeon is the better fit when every change to a running system has to be priced, approved and proven before it ships, and you want the map kept for the next one.

The knowledge graph

Both products build a graph. They use it for different jobs.

Blitzy and Aedeon agree on the first step: read the code before changing it. The difference is what the graph is for, and who relies on it afterward.

Blitzy

Keeps agents grounded during a long run

Blitzy describes its graph as a dynamic knowledge graph of your codebase. It keeps every agent grounded while context is managed across days of reasoning, and it improves with every merge. Reverse engineering also produces technical documentation of the codebase.

Aedeon

Becomes the record every change starts from

Aedeon Graph is the Code Intelligence Graph, a living map of how your systems actually work. It is tenant-isolated, stamped with the commit, schema version or pipeline revision behind each fact, and exportable. Every plan is written against it, and every claim an agent makes has to cite it.

Nodes each answer touches light up

What you hand over

Blitzy asks for a spec. Aedeon asks for a sentence.

Blitzy

A structured spec, then a technical specification

Blitzy recommends prompts written in WHY, WHAT and HOW sections, then asks your team to edit and approve a technical specification before code generation starts. By default it adopts upgrades along the way. Ask for Java 21 and it implements virtual threads unless you tell it to make as few changes as possible.

Aedeon

One sentence, then a plan you can edit

Aedeon starts from one plain sentence. From it, Aedeon Supervisor builds a step-by-step plan out of the map of your systems, with target files for each step and an estimated cost. Your architects can add, remove or reorder steps before anything happens.

Checking the work

Tests written for the change, or traffic from the system you already run.

Blitzy

Blitzy compiles your codebase, performs runtime validation, generates end-to-end tests and passes the work through several QA agents. Its own FAQ advises teams to run their own QA, QC and security testing before deployment.

Aedeon

Aedeon checks the changed system against the old one on your production traffic. Data, application and behavior checks run in parallel and every response is compared. A divergence stops the gate until it is fixed and replayed. On The New York Times change, 2,412,880 requests were replayed and the gate opened at zero divergences.

Pricing as of October 13, 2026

Blitzy pricing and Aedeon pricing

Blitzy is sold as an evaluation followed by an engagement. Aedeon is software your team can start on with one repository this week.

ScaleAbout $1 million a yeartypical
TransformationAbout $10 million a yeartypical
Annual list price, log scale. Monthly plans shown as twelve months.

Aedeon’s monthly plans include evolution credits, and credits used beyond the allowance are billed at the plan’s rate. Production change runs on Max and Virtual Private Aedeon.

Blitzy’s figures are the annual investment levels on its own site. Forbes reported in May 2026 that Blitzy’s starting packages run from $1 million to $10 million a year plus 20 cents per line of code.

The two models reward different habits. A six- or seven-figure engagement is planned like a program, with a start and an end. Aedeon prices each change before it runs, and the graph from the first change makes the next one cheaper.

Modernization and migration are projects. Projects end. Evolution compounds.

Aedeon keeps the map after a change ships. Your second change starts from a graph that already knows which report reads that column, which job runs at 3 a.m. and which compliance check lives in the database. In Aedeon’s illustrative cost index, the first change sits at 100 and the tenth at 19.

Decide

Which one fits your situation

Choose Blitzy if

  • You have a large, well-specified build or refactor and a budget for an engagement.
  • Your engineers will finish the remaining work and run QA before release.
  • Output from one long run matters more than approval at each step.
  • You need SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certificates on day one.

Choose Aedeon if

  • You want to start with one repository this week, without a six-figure pilot.
  • Every change must be priced and approved before it runs.
  • The proof you need comes from your own production traffic.
  • You want the map kept as your system of record after the change ships.

Blitzy and Aedeon can coexist. A team might use Blitzy for a large greenfield build and Aedeon for the changes that touch the systems already running the business.

Answers

Questions buyers ask about Aedeon and Blitzy

What is the difference between Aedeon and Blitzy?

Blitzy runs thousands of agents for days or weeks on a spec and returns about 80 percent of a project as compiled, tested code for your team to finish. Aedeon plans each change to a running system from one sentence, prices it before approval, gates every step and verifies the result against the old system on production traffic. Blitzy is built for output per run, and Aedeon for proof per change.

Is Blitzy open source?

Blitzy is a commercial platform, and its site describes 27 patents and counting. Its open-source case studies show Blitzy working on public repositories, such as a COBOL to Java 21 conversion. Aedeon is also commercial software, and the graph and every change it produces belong to you and can be exported.

How much does Blitzy cost?

As of October 13, 2026, Blitzy’s site lists a Sandbox at $0 for eligible organizations, marked down from $25,000, and a Structured Pilot at $250,000 a year. Its engagements run $500,000 a year for Core, about $1 million for Scale and about $10 million for Transformation. Aedeon starts with a free 30-day trial, then $20, $80 or $200 a month, with Virtual Private Aedeon from $50,000 a year.

Does Blitzy have a knowledge graph like Aedeon?

Yes. Blitzy reverse engineers your codebase into a dynamic knowledge graph that grounds its agents and improves with every merge. Aedeon Graph plays a different role. It is the version-stamped system of record that every Aedeon plan is written against and every agent claim must cite. That graph covers databases, stored procedures, pipelines and business rules alongside application code.

Which is better for refactoring a legacy system?

It depends on how the work will be judged. If success means the most code delivered from one run, with your engineers finishing and testing the rest, Blitzy is built for that. When success means a running system changed without surprises, with every step approved and the result matched against the old system on real traffic, choose Aedeon.

Can we stop a job once it starts?

Blitzy’s FAQ says jobs cannot be canceled once submitted, and a submitted job consumes its assigned quota. In Aedeon, nothing executes until a person approves the gate in front of it, your architects can reject any step, and a divergence on production traffic holds the gate.

Do we need consultants or forward deployed engineers?

Aedeon is a product your own team runs. Services partners can help under their own contracts, and Aedeon never bills engagement labor. Blitzy sells its larger tiers as engagements, and describes the Transformation tier as a strategic engagement.

Is Aedeon SOC 2 certified?

Not yet. Aedeon’s SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS and HIPAA audits are in progress, and current status and architecture documentation are available under NDA. Blitzy states SOC 2 Type II compliance and ISO 27001 certification.

How fast can we see results?

With Aedeon, connecting one system and watching the graph build takes about an hour, and a first production change usually lands inside a quarter. Blitzy describes runs that last days or weeks, and its Sandbox lets eligible organizations try it on a real codebase.
