While LayerX Security offers browser‑based security tools aimed at detecting unauthorized SaaS usage, its solution is narrowly focused and does not include robust device management or enforcement capabilities. In fact, customers using LayerX Security must often rely on a separate device management solution to enforce browser‑level controls. In contrast, Swif.ai unifies endpoint security and device management by delivering real‑time Shadow IT detection, AI‑powered Browser Security, and complete device enforcement across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android—all backed by transparent, flat pricing.

Focused exclusively on browser-based protection; lacks native support for managing non‑browser endpoints
Device Management & Enforcement
Full‑fledged device management that enforces security settings at the device configuration level, ensuring comprehensive endpoint protection
.png)
Not Available
Relies solely on browser extensions; enforcement must be achieved via a separate device management tool
Shadow IT Detection
Real‑time detection of unauthorized SaaS applications, combined with AI‑powered Browser Security to proactively identify and mitigate risks
Offers browser‑focused detection only, without broader contextual visibility across devices
AI Tool Governance
Built‑in controls to block or restrict unauthorized AI agents (e.g., ChatGPT, DeepSeek) and monitor their usage
No AI Governance
Does not include native controls for managing unauthorized AI tool usage
Compliance Automation
Automated workflows for SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 compliance—integrated with industry leaders like Vanta and Drata
Basic compliance reporting that typically requires additional, manual processes
Directory Flexibility
Freedom to integrate with a wide variety of directory tools—ensuring you’re never locked into a single vendor’s ecosystem
Typically tied to a fixed integration model, limiting flexibility for enterprise‑wide directory management
Pricing
Transparent, flat pricing per employee
Variable, feature‑based pricing that can lead to unpredictable overall costs when combined with external enforcement solutions
Provides a browser-based extension that alerts on unauthorized SaaS usage.
Can serve as a supplementary layer of security when paired with a device management solution.
Offers only browser-based security without any device management or endpoint protection.
Lacks built‑in controls to monitor or restrict unauthorized AI tool usage.
Does not automate compliance workflows, requiring extra manual intervention.
Its browser extension must be enforced via an external solution, limiting its standalone effectiveness and flexibility.
While LayerX Security may provide a basic layer of browser‑based protection, it falls short of meeting the comprehensive security needs of modern organizations. Swif.ai outperforms by:
