Ardoq maps what you have. Ifiok builds what you need. AI-powered architecture modelling, compliance automation, and production-ready code generation — at a fraction of enterprise EA pricing.
Ardoq is a Norwegian enterprise architecture platform (founded 2013) that excels at dependency mapping and change impact analysis. If you manage 500+ applications and need to understand "what breaks if we retire this system?" — Ardoq's dynamic dependency graphs are best-in-class.
Ifiok takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of cataloguing and visualising existing systems, Ifiok focuses on designing and building new ones. You describe a system, AI generates an ArchiMate model, compliance frameworks are mapped automatically, and production-ready code is generated. Ardoq tells you what you have. Ifiok builds what you need.
Choose Ardoq when: you manage a complex enterprise portfolio with hundreds of applications and need to understand dependencies before making changes. You need "what if" scenario modelling for technology rationalisation. Your EA practice is mature and needs a tool for ongoing governance.
Choose Ifiok when: you need new applications designed and built from architecture models. Compliance reporting (SOC 2, ISO 27001, DORA) is a primary driver. You want architecture that generates running code, not just documentation. Your budget is under $50K/year.
Not entirely. Ardoq excels at enterprise portfolio governance — dependency mapping, change impact analysis, scenario modelling. Ifiok excels at architecture-to-code — generating applications and compliance evidence from models. They serve different primary use cases. Some teams use both: Ardoq for portfolio governance, Ifiok for greenfield projects.
Ardoq supports data export via their REST API. Application and component data can be mapped to ArchiMate elements for import into Ifiok. There is no one-click import, but migration is possible for Enterprise customers with support assistance.
Ardoq pricing is not public — it is enterprise quote-based, typically starting at $40,000-$80,000/year. Ifiok pricing is transparent: See live pricing at /pricing. For a 5-person team, Ifiok is 80-95% less expensive.
