Pricing alternative to Tenable

You are comparing a scanner priced against Tenable and similar platforms. The free tier removes cost barriers entirely, providing 3 scans per month and CLI access with no commitment. The Starter plan at 99 dollars per month supports 15 APIs, monthly scans, dashboard access, email alerts, and an MCP Server. The Pro plan at 499 dollars per month supports 100 APIs, with additional APIs billed at 7 dollars each, adding continuous monitoring, GitHub Action gates, and scheduled rescans. Enterprise plans are typically 2000 dollars per month or more for unlimited APIs, custom rules, and dedicated support.

Unlike legacy platforms that bundle infrastructure and consultants, this product focuses on scanning only. This reduces operational overhead and removes per-hour consulting fees from the total cost calculation. For teams priced out of Tenable, a key alternative is a model where you pay for scan coverage and integrations, not for agents or mandatory professional services.

The scanner maps findings to PCI-DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, and OWASP API Top 10 (2023). It supports audit evidence for regulations by surfacing findings relevant to authentication, data exposure, and input validation controls. For PCI-DSS, it checks authentication bypass, sensitive data exposure, and encryption requirements. For SOC 2, it reviews access controls and monitoring practices. For OWASP API Top 10, it covers the full 2023 categories including broken object level authorization and injection risks.

For other frameworks, the scanner helps you prepare for and aligns with security controls described in standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and CCPA. It surfaces findings that can feed into internal assessments but does not certify or guarantee compliance with any regulation. Use the output as one input for broader risk programs rather than as an audit conclusion.

As a black-box scanner, it requires no agents, SDKs, or code access. It works with any language, framework, or cloud using read-only methods such as GET and HEAD, plus text-only POST for LLM probes. Scan times remain under a minute, and the tool prioritizes findings by severity. Detection categories include authentication misconfigurations, BOLA and BFLA, property authorization leaks, input validation issues, rate limiting, data exposure patterns, encryption checks, SSRF indicators, inventory problems, unsafe consumption surfaces, and LLM security probes across three depth tiers.

OpenAPI analysis is included, parsing OpenAPI 3.0, 3.1, and Swagger 2.0 with recursive $ref resolution. The scanner cross-references spec definitions against runtime behavior to identify undefined security schemes, deprecated operations, and missing pagination. This approach provides a lightweight but effective coverage model without requiring intrusive testing.

Authenticated scanning is available from the Starter tier upward, supporting Bearer tokens, API keys, Basic auth, and cookies. A domain verification gate using DNS TXT records or HTTP well-known files ensures that only domain owners can scan with credentials. Header forwarding is restricted to Authorization, X-API-Key, Cookie, and X-Custom-* headers to limit exposure.

The platform maintains a strict safety posture. It uses read-only methods only, blocks private IPs, localhost, and cloud metadata endpoints at multiple layers, and never modifies systems. Customer data is deletable on demand and purged within 30 days of cancellation. It is not used for model training, and no destructive payloads are ever sent.

Integration options include a Web Dashboard for scan management and report downloads, a CLI via an npm package with JSON or text output, a GitHub Action for CI/CD gates that fails builds when scores drop below a threshold, an MCP Server for AI coding assistants, and a programmatic API for custom workflows. These options allow embedding security checks into development pipelines without heavy overhead.

Pro tier adds continuous monitoring with scheduled rescans every 6 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly. Diff detection highlights new findings, resolved findings, and score drift. Alerts are rate-limited to one email per hour per API, and webhooks are HMAC-SHA256 signed, with auto-disable after five consecutive failures. This model supports steady security tracking rather than one-off assessments.
