CuraIQ reviews prompts on the device — so content never leaves the machine, and it wraps the AI coding agents you already run: Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI. Every prompt is checked locally against policy before it reaches the agent, and security teams see only redacted, content-free signals.
Prompt Security is a gateway/cloud AI-security service — prompts are sent to the service for analysis. This is an honest, architecture-level comparison: on-device review versus gateway/cloud analysis.
Prompt Security and CuraIQ are aimed at different blast radii. Prompt Security is a gateway/cloud layer for organization-wide gen-AI use: traffic to the SaaS AI tools and chatbots your whole company touches is routed through it and inspected in transit. CuraIQ is narrower and closer in — it lives on each developer's machine and governs the coding agents they run, reviewing every prompt locally so the content never has to reach a gateway at all.
| CuraIQ | Prompt Security | |
|---|---|---|
| Where prompts are reviewed | On the device | In the gateway / cloud |
| Prompt content leaves the machine | Never | Sent to the service |
| Deployment model | Self-hosted, on-device | Gateway / cloud service |
| Coding-agent-native (wraps the CLI / PTY) | ✓ Claude Code · Codex · Copilot CLI | Gen-AI app / gateway security |
| Signals to security team | Redacted, content-free | Cloud-analyzed |
| Licensing | Open source (AGPL-3.0) | Proprietary |
| Account required to start | No (community agent) | Yes |
The honest take. Prompt Security's gateway is genuinely strong where it's aimed: giving a security team one enforcement point over org-wide SaaS gen-AI use — every employee, every chatbot and copilot, DLP and policy applied centrally in transit. If your problem is governing the sprawl of AI tools across the whole company, that is the right tool, and CuraIQ does not cover that breadth. CuraIQ is the right fit only when the thing you need to govern is the coding agents your developers run, and keeping prompt content on the device — never routed through a gateway — is a hard requirement.
Comparison is architecture-level and reflects the products' stated deployment models. CuraIQ keeps prompt content on the device; Prompt Security analyzes prompts in its gateway/cloud service. Any capability figures are approximate — verify current specifics against each vendor's docs.
