Quick answer
Komodor started as a Kubernetes troubleshooting tool and is now an agentic operations platform with AI SRE, cost and software operations modules. RubixKube is an AI SRE built around the incident: its own observers in Kubernetes, clouds and Linux machines, alerts from your tools, one RCA with evidence per incident, and fixes you approve.
Pick Komodor if your world is Kubernetes and you also want cost and CI/CD modules from one vendor. Pick RubixKube if you run on more than Kubernetes, want evidence you can check, and want to start free today.
What is Komodor?
Komodor started as a Kubernetes troubleshooting tool and now sells an agentic operations platform, with AI SRE, cost and software operations modules and more than 50 built-in agents. It runs in your cloud, on-prem or in Komodor Cloud, with approval rules you set per action.
- How you get it: a trial on the Starter plan, or sales for Enterprise.
- Pricing: custom, a platform fee plus AI tokens.
- Best for: Kubernetes-heavy teams that also want cost and CI/CD modules. See RubixKube vs Komodor.
What is RubixKube?
RubixKube runs read-only observers in your Kubernetes clusters, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure accounts and Linux machines, and takes alerts from Datadog, PagerDuty, Grafana, Sentry and other tools by webhook. It groups related alerts into one incident, and its agent, Rubix, writes a root cause analysis for each one, citing the tool output behind every step. Quotes are checked in code against what the tools returned, so you can see exactly what Rubix read.
Every RCA proposes a Fix and Follow-ups. Rubix opens the change as a pull request or through any tool you connect, and you choose how much it may do: Observe only reads, Assist asks before every change, Auto asks before anything destructive. It remembers past incidents and fixes, and works in the console, Slack, the CLI and your own AI tools over MCP.
- How you get it: sign up and start today. No demo, no approval.
- Pricing: Individual is free (1 environment, 10 investigations a month). Business is $999 a month. Enterprise is custom. See pricing.
- Best for: teams that run on more than one platform and want an AI SRE they can try on their own systems this afternoon.
