Choose Glow if
- Your company runs Claude Enterprise and wants per-user usage and an audit trail
- You want software control on the endpoint alongside AI controls
Choose Prompt Security if
- You already run SentinelOne Singularity
- You need an inventory of AI tools and coding assistants first
Which limits should you check?
Glow
- How it reaches devices is not stated on the pages we could read.
- No price is published, and the homepage figures are Glow's own statements.
Prompt Security
- Two new local sensors to roll out, a browser extension and an endpoint agent, unless you already run SentinelOne.
- Tool-call decisions, blocking, warning and activity records for agent actions are not described on the pages we read, and no pricing is published.
