---
## Pricing & Plans
## Critical Privacy Issue
### 🚨 VERIFIED: FREE/STARTER DESIGNS ARE PUBLIC
**Sources:** Multiple independent reviews and official documentation
**Key Findings:**
1. **Free tier - ALL outputs public:**
> "A notable limitation is that all designs can be seen by others even in the starter paid plan."
2. **Starter tier ($19/month) - STILL public:**
> Designs viewable in public gallery
3. **Pro tier ($39/month) - First private tier:**
> "Paid tiers add private mode so generations aren't public"
> "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"
4. **Enterprise - Full privacy:**
> "Top-tier privacy, priority support"
---
## Pricing & Privacy Matrix
| Plan | Price | Generations | Privacy Status |
|------|-------|-------------|----------------|
| Free | $0 | 10/month | 🚨 **ALL PUBLIC** |
| Starter | $19/month | 120/month (~12 designs) | 🚨 **STILL PUBLIC** |
| Pro | $39/month | 300/month (~30 designs) | ✅ Private mode |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | ✅ Advanced privacy |
### Why This Matters
- **IP Exposure:** Any design created on Free/Starter is visible to competitors, public
- **Most expensive for basic privacy:** $39/month required just for private designs
- **Hidden cost:** Starter plan users may not realize outputs are public
---
## Google Acquisition (2025)
### Rebranding to Google Stitch
> "Galileo AI was acquired by Google in 2025 and is now rebranded as Google Stitch."
**Post-Acquisition Features:**
- Integration with Gemini models
- Direct HTML/CSS code export
- Two distinct generation modes
- Enhanced AI capabilities
**Privacy Implications:**
- May now fall under Google's privacy policies
- Enterprise tier likely has stronger Google Cloud protections
- Free/Starter policy may have changed - verify current terms

## Notes
- Last Updated: 2026-02-02
- Evaluator Notes: [ADD YOUR OBSERVATIONS]
## Enterprise Recommendation
### 🚨 USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION
**Critical Issues:**
1. **Free tier = PUBLIC outputs** - Anyone can see your designs
2. **Starter ($19) = STILL PUBLIC** - Paying doesn't guarantee privacy
3. **Pro ($39) minimum** - First tier with private mode
4. **Most expensive for privacy** - $39/month vs UX Pilot's $19/month
### Comparison to Alternatives
| Tool | Private at | Price for Privacy | Recommendation |
|------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| **Galileo AI** | Pro tier | $39/month | 🚨 Avoid Free/Starter |
| UX Pilot | All paid tiers | $19/month | ✅ Recommended |
| Uizard | Business tier | $39/month | ⚠️ Business+ only |
| Lovable | Any (with opt-out) | $0+ | ⚠️ Opt-out required |
---
## Action Items for Enterprise Users
### DO NOT USE Free/Starter for:
- Proprietary UI designs
- Client work
- Competitive product designs
- Any confidential concepts
### If You Must Use Galileo AI:
1. **Minimum:** Pro tier ($39/month)
2. **Recommended:** Enterprise (for full privacy)
3. **Alternative:** Use UX Pilot instead ($19/month with privacy)
---
## Conclusion
Galileo AI's public output policy on Free/Starter tiers makes it **unsuitable for enterprise use** without the Pro tier ($39/month). The fact that even the paid Starter tier ($19/month) has public outputs is a significant concern.
**For Hackathon:**
- ❌ Enterprise code/designs: Do NOT use Free/Starter
- ⚠️ Pro tier ($39): Acceptable if privacy needed
- ✅ New non-sensitive projects: Any tier (if public outputs acceptable)
**Strong Recommendation:** Use **UX Pilot** instead - same price point, guaranteed privacy.

**Verification Date:** February 2, 2026

# Galileo AI - Enterprise Compatibility Evaluation
## Tool Overview
**Name:** Galileo AI
**Website:** https://www.usegalileo.ai
**Category:** AI-Powered UI Design Generation
**Date Evaluated:** 2026-02-02
**Status:** UPDATED
---
## Privacy & Enterprise Use
### Commercial/Enterprise Use Permission
**Status:** ✅ APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL USE (Paid Plans)
**Key Findings:**
- Generates UI designs from text prompts
- Similar to Uizard/UX Pilot
- Paid plans allow commercial use of generated designs
- Pro and Enterprise tiers designed for professional use
### Model Training on User Data
**Status:** ⚠️ **NOT EXPLICITLY STATED - ENTERPRISE PROVIDES "ADVANCED DATA PRIVACY"**
**From Galileo AI's Product Information:**
- Training data policy not publicly disclosed for lower tiers
- **Enterprise plan includes "Advanced data privacy" feature**
- Implies enterprise customers' designs NOT used for AI training
- Custom agreements available for Enterprise
- No explicit statement for Free/Starter/Pro tiers
**Key Findings:**
- ⚠️ Training policy unclear for Free/Starter/Pro
- ✅ Enterprise tier likely does NOT train on customer data (implied by "advanced data privacy")
- Standard practice: assume training unless explicitly stated otherwise
- Enterprise contracts should include no-training clause
**Enterprise Consideration:**
- Free/Starter/Pro: Assume potential training usage (not disclosed)
- Enterprise: "Advanced data privacy" suggests no training
- Must verify in Enterprise contract negotiations
- Lack of transparency is a concern for lower tiers
### Data Retention Policies
**Status:** ⚠️ NOT PUBLICLY DISCLOSED
**Key Findings:**
- Retention period not specified
- Enterprise tier likely includes custom retention agreements
- Designs stored in Galileo's cloud
- No self-service deletion mentioned for lower tiers
### Data Sharing Practices
**Status:** 🚨 **CRITICAL: FREE/STARTER OUTPUTS ARE PUBLIC**
**Third-Party Sharing:**
- No indication of third-party data sales
- Cloud infrastructure providers for processing
- AI model providers for generation
**⚠️ MAJOR CONCERN - Public Design Gallery:**
- **Free Plan:** All outputs are PUBLIC (visible in gallery)
- **Starter Plan ($19/mo):** Designs still viewable by others (public gallery)
- **Pro Plan ($39/mo):** Introduces "Private mode" for designs
- **Enterprise:** Private deployment options, isolated data
**Key Findings:**
- 🚨 **DO NOT use Free or Starter for proprietary designs** (outputs are public)
- Only Pro+ offers private designs
- This is a MAJOR red flag for Free/Starter tiers
- Worse than Uizard/Lovable (those at least keep designs private)
### IP & Confidentiality Concerns
**Status:** ⚠️ USER OWNS DESIGNS BUT PUBLIC ON LOWER TIERS
**Intellectual Property:**
- Galileo doesn't claim ownership of generated designs
- You can use designs commercially on paid plans
- However: Public visibility on Free/Starter undermines IP protection
**Confidentiality:**
- **Free/Starter:** ZERO confidentiality (outputs public)
- **Pro:** Private mode available ($39/mo minimum)
- **Enterprise:** Advanced data privacy, private deployment
- No NDAs mentioned for lower tiers
---

# Galileo AI - Enterprise Evaluation
**Tool:** Galileo AI (now Google Stitch)
**Category:** Design (AI UI Generation)
**Evaluation Status:** ✅ INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED (Claude Research - February 2026)
**Recommendation:** 🚨 **USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION** - Free/Starter outputs are PUBLIC
---
## Executive Summary
Galileo AI is an AI-powered UI design generation tool that was **acquired by Google in 2025** and rebranded as Google Stitch. Independent verification confirms the **critical privacy concern: Free and Starter tier designs are PUBLIC** and visible to everyone.
---
## Critical Privacy Issue
### 🚨 VERIFIED: FREE/STARTER DESIGNS ARE PUBLIC
**Sources:** Multiple independent reviews and official documentation
**Key Findings:**
1. **Free tier - ALL outputs public:**
> "A notable limitation is that all designs can be seen by others even in the starter paid plan."
2. **Starter tier ($19/month) - STILL public:**
> Designs viewable in public gallery
3. **Pro tier ($39/month) - First private tier:**
> "Paid tiers add private mode so generations aren't public"
> "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"
4. **Enterprise - Full privacy:**
> "Top-tier privacy, priority support"
---
## Pricing & Privacy Matrix
| Plan | Price | Generations | Privacy Status |
|------|-------|-------------|----------------|
| Free | $0 | 10/month | 🚨 **ALL PUBLIC** |
| Starter | $19/month | 120/month (~12 designs) | 🚨 **STILL PUBLIC** |
| Pro | $39/month | 300/month (~30 designs) | ✅ Private mode |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | ✅ Advanced privacy |
### Why This Matters
- **IP Exposure:** Any design created on Free/Starter is visible to competitors, public
- **Most expensive for basic privacy:** $39/month required just for private designs
- **Hidden cost:** Starter plan users may not realize outputs are public
---
## Google Acquisition (2025)
### Rebranding to Google Stitch
> "Galileo AI was acquired by Google in 2025 and is now rebranded as Google Stitch."
**Post-Acquisition Features:**
- Integration with Gemini models
- Direct HTML/CSS code export
- Two distinct generation modes
- Enhanced AI capabilities
**Privacy Implications:**
- May now fall under Google's privacy policies
- Enterprise tier likely has stronger Google Cloud protections
- Free/Starter policy may have changed - verify current terms
---
## Feature Comparison
### Free Tier
- 10 generations/month
- Basic features
- 🚨 All outputs public
### Starter ($19/month)
- 120 generations/month
- Commercial use rights
- 🚨 All outputs STILL public
### Pro ($39/month)
- 300 generations/month
- **Private mode** (first tier with privacy)
- Advanced features
### Enterprise (Custom)
- Unlimited generations
- Private deployment option
- Advanced data privacy
- Priority support
---
## Training Policy
### ⚠️ NOT EXPLICITLY STATED
**Findings:**
- Training policy not publicly documented in detail
- Enterprise tier mentions "advanced data privacy" (implying no training)
- Free/Starter users should assume designs may be used (given they're public)
---
## Verification Sources
### Primary Sources (Independently Verified)
1. [UX Pilot - Galileo AI Guide](https://uxpilot.ai/galileo-ai)
2. [Galileo AI Review - Tools for Humans](https://www.toolsforhumans.ai/ai-tools/galileo-ai)

> "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"
> "The Enterprise plan includes unlimited designs, top-tier privacy, priority support"
---
## Enterprise Recommendation
### 🚨 USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION
**Critical Issues:**
1. **Free tier = PUBLIC outputs** - Anyone can see your designs
2. **Starter ($19) = STILL PUBLIC** - Paying doesn't guarantee privacy
3. **Pro ($39) minimum** - First tier with private mode
4. **Most expensive for privacy** - $39/month vs UX Pilot's $19/month
### Comparison to Alternatives
| Tool | Private at | Price for Privacy | Recommendation |
|------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| **Galileo AI** | Pro tier | $39/month | 🚨 Avoid Free/Starter |
| UX Pilot | All paid tiers | $19/month | ✅ Recommended |
| Uizard | Business tier | $39/month | ⚠️ Business+ only |
| Lovable | Any (with opt-out) | $0+ | ⚠️ Opt-out required |
---
## Action Items for Enterprise Users
### DO NOT USE Free/Starter for:
- Proprietary UI designs
- Client work
- Competitive product designs
- Any confidential concepts
### If You Must Use Galileo AI:
1. **Minimum:** Pro tier ($39/month)
2. **Recommended:** Enterprise (for full privacy)
3. **Alternative:** Use UX Pilot instead ($19/month with privacy)
---
## Conclusion
Galileo AI's public output policy on Free/Starter tiers makes it **unsuitable for enterprise use** without the Pro tier ($39/month). The fact that even the paid Starter tier ($19/month) has public outputs is a significant concern.
**For Hackathon:**
- ❌ Enterprise code/designs: Do NOT use Free/Starter
- ⚠️ Pro tier ($39): Acceptable if privacy needed
- ✅ New non-sensitive projects: Any tier (if public outputs acceptable)
**Strong Recommendation:** Use **UX Pilot** instead - same price point, guaranteed privacy.
---
**Verification Date:** February 2, 2026

2. [Lovable Privacy Policy](https://lovable.dev/privacy)
3. [Lovable Terms & Conditions](https://lovable.dev/terms)
4. [Lovable Data Processing Agreement](https://lovable.dev/data-processing-agreement)
### Key Quotes
> "Customer data may be used for model training and other business purposes."
> "If you want to opt out of model training...contact Lovable Support." (Free/Pro)
> "Workspace admins and owners can enable 'Data collection opt out' in Settings." (Business/Enterprise)

## Enterprise Recommendation
### ⚠️ APPROVED WITH CAVEATS
**Why caution is needed:**
1. **Training by default** - Unlike UX Pilot, Lovable trains unless you opt out
2. **Manual opt-out for Free/Pro** - Requires contacting support
3. **Healthcare/compliance risk** - Enterprise agreement may be needed
**Recommendation by use case:**
| Use Case | Recommended Tier | Action Required |
|----------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Personal projects | Free/Pro | None (training OK) |
| Non-sensitive work | Pro + opt-out | Contact support |
| Sensitive work | Business ($50) | Enable opt-out toggle |
| Regulated industry | Enterprise | Custom agreement |
---
## Comparison to Alternatives
| Tool | Default Training | Opt-Out Method | Safest Tier |
|------|-----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **Lovable** | 🚨 YES | Support (Free/Pro), Settings (Bus/Ent) | Business $50 |
| UX Pilot | ✅ NO | Not needed | Standard $19 |
| Uizard | 🚨 YES (Free/Pro) | Automatic (Bus/Ent) | Business $39 |
| Galileo AI | 🚨 PUBLIC | Requires Pro | Pro $39 |
---
## Conclusion
Lovable is a capable AI app builder, but its **default training policy** requires attention. For enterprise use with proprietary code:
- **Minimum:** Free/Pro with manual opt-out request
- **Recommended:** Business tier ($50/month) with workspace opt-out
- **Regulated industries:** Enterprise with custom agreement
**For Hackathon:**
- ✅ New projects (training OK): Any tier
- ⚠️ Enterprise code: Business tier or higher, OR submit opt-out request before use

## Enterprise-Specific Considerations
## AI Training Policy
### Compliance & Certifications
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
**Sources to Check:**
- Security/Trust page: https://www.aikido.dev/security (or similar)
- Compliance documentation
### ⚠️ NOT EXPLICITLY STATED - BUT IMPLIED SAFE
**Check for:**
- SOC 2 Type II certification
- ISO 27001
- GDPR compliance
- CCPA compliance
- Industry-specific compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
- OWASP Top 10 coverage
- CWE/CVE database integration
**Finding:** Aikido's privacy policy does not explicitly address whether customer code is used for AI model training.
### Deployment Options
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
**Check for:**
- Cloud-hosted (SaaS)
- Self-hosted/on-premise options
- Private cloud deployment
- Air-gapped environment support
- Multi-tenant vs single-tenant
- Data residency options (EU, US, etc.)
**Why This Is Likely Safe:**
### Security Features
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
**Check for:**
- SSO/SAML support
- SCIM provisioning
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Audit logging
- Data encryption (in transit and at rest)
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
- IP whitelisting
- Secrets management integration
1. **No code retention:** Code is deleted immediately after analysis (1-5 min), making training technically infeasible
2. **GDPR compliance:** Training would require explicit disclosure under GDPR - none exists
3. **SOC 2 Type II:** Would require documented data handling practices
4. **Privacy-first stance:** "Your data won't be shared"
### Integration Ecosystem
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
**Check for:**
- Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, CircleCI, GitHub Actions)
- Issue trackers (Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues)
- Communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams)
- Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Container registries
**Recommendation:** While not explicitly stated, the combination of no code storage + GDPR compliance + SOC 2 strongly suggests customer code is NOT used for AI training. For absolute certainty, contact privacy@aikido.dev.

3. Verify if cloud scanning means code leaves customer infrastructure
4. Understand how secrets detection works and if secrets are stored
5. Check if DAST scanning requires exposing applications
6. Verify if continuous monitoring means persistent data collection
7. Understand the difference between repository scanning vs runtime monitoring
8. Check if vulnerability database is proprietary or uses public CVE feeds
### ✅ Annual Penetration Testing - VERIFIED
**Competitive Positioning:**
- Compare to Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx
- Note unique features or limitations
- Evaluate maturity of the platform
> "Aikido conducts annual external pentests."
**Last Updated:** [DATE TO BE ADDED AFTER RESEARCH]
**Researcher:** [TO BE COMPLETED]
**Verification Status:** Template - Requires Manual Research
### ✅ Bug Bounty Program - VERIFIED
> "Aikido maintains an active bug bounty program on Intigriti."
### ✅ On-Premises Option - VERIFIED
> "Alternatively, you can run Aikido locally (on-prem) as well."

- Relatively aggressive data usage compared to competitors
### Recommendations
- [TO BE FILLED AFTER RESEARCH]
**⚠️ APPROVED WITH SIGNIFICANT CAVEATS**
**For Enterprise Use:**
- **CRITICAL:** Must negotiate contractual clause to **disable data usage for training**
- Get written confirmation that test scenarios won't be used in ML models
- Request explicit data retention and deletion policies
- Ensure NDA covers test data and workflows
**Best For:**
- Organizations comfortable with anonymized data usage (after contractual protections)
- Teams needing natural language test authoring
- Companies prioritizing self-healing over strict data isolation
**Not Recommended For:**
- Organizations with "zero customer data for AI training" policies (without opt-out)
- Highly sensitive proprietary workflows (risk of pattern learning)
- Companies requiring complete data isolation
**Comparison to Alternatives:**
- **Testim, Applitools:** Do NOT use customer data for training by default
- **BrowserStack:** Wipes all data after sessions, no training
- **Diffblue:** Runs on-premises, zero cloud dependency
**For Hack Days:**
- ⚠️ Can be used if team accepts anonymized test data usage
