Bright Security pricing

Bright Security pricing is usage based rather than purely seat based. Costs are driven by the number of APIs under active scan, the chosen scan cadence, and the tier of platform features you require. Public rates are not listed as a fixed catalog; instead, quotes consider scan frequency, authenticated coverage, and monitoring needs. You receive a defined set of capabilities at each tier, with clear thresholds for additional APIs or advanced monitoring.

The Free tier is designed for initial evaluation and limited ongoing use. It includes CLI access and permits 3 scans per calendar month at no cost. This tier supports read-only scanning against any API that accepts GET and HEAD requests. No dashboard, no scheduled monitoring, and no alerting are provided. If your program grows beyond the monthly scan limit or requires authenticated endpoints, you must move to a paid tier.

Starter at 99 dollars per month adds a dashboard, email alerts, and MCP Server access. It supports up to 15 APIs with monthly scheduled scans and includes remediation guidance with each finding. Authenticated scanning is available with Bearer, API key, Basic auth, and cookies, provided the domain ownership gate is satisfied. This tier is suitable for teams needing continuous score tracking and basic compliance evidence.

Pro at 499 dollars per month supports up to 100 APIs and adds continuous monitoring with scheduled rescans every 6 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly. You receive diff detection across scans, email alerts at a rate limited to 1 per hour per API, and HMAC signed webhooks. Additional APIs beyond 100 are billed at 7 dollars each. This tier includes GitHub Action integration as a CI/CD gate, Slack and Teams alerts, compliance reports aligned to OWASP API Top 10, SOC 2 Type II, and PCI-DSS 4.0, and signed webhooks for automated workflows.

Enterprise at 2000 dollars per month and above removes API count limits and unlocks custom rules, SSO, and audit logs. You gain dedicated support and a defined SLA. This tier is intended for organizations that require governance at scale and need to map findings to multiple regulatory frameworks. Custom rules allow you to tune detection scope, while audit logs provide traceability for security reviews. Quotes for this tier are driven by API volume, monitoring frequency, and integration complexity.

Final pricing varies with the number of APIs you scan, the need for authenticated scanning with domain verification, and the level of monitoring you require. High frequency rescans, many authenticated endpoints, and advanced integrations increase cost. Conversely, using the tool only for occasional ad hoc scans against public APIs can remain within lower tiers.
