Pricing alternative to Wallarm

Wallarm positions itself as a feature-rich commercial platform, but its per-api pricing can become restrictive at scale. middleBrick offers a transparent tiered model with clear usage boundaries. The Free tier supports three scans per month with command-line access, the Starter tier at ninety-nine dollars per month supports fifteen APIs with dashboard and alerting, and the Pro tier at four hundred ninety-nine dollars per month supports one hundred APIs with continuous monitoring. Additional APIs are billed at seven dollars each. Enterprise pricing starts at two thousand dollars per month for unlimited APIs, custom rules, and dedicated support.

Beyond sticker price, consider operational overhead. middleBrick requires no agents, SDKs, or code access, reducing integration labor and avoiding dependency on development cycles. Scans complete in under a minute using read-only methods, which limits impact on production environments. With no infrastructure to maintain, there are no hidden costs for compute, storage, or personnel time associated with maintaining testing pipelines. Wallarm may introduce additional costs if its architecture requires network reconfiguration or specialized personnel to interpret findings.

middleBrick maps findings to PCI-DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, and OWASP API Top 10 (2023). The scanner detects authentication bypasses, JWT misconfigurations such as alg=none, authorization flaws like BOLA and BFLA, sensitive data exposure including PII and API keys, and input validation issues such as CORS wildcard usage. It supports authenticated scanning with Bearer tokens, API keys, Basic auth, and cookies, with domain verification to ensure only domain owners can scan with credentials. These capabilities help you prepare for audits without claiming compliance.

For ongoing risk management, middleBrick Pro provides scheduled rescans every six hours, daily, weekly, or monthly. It detects diffs between scans, highlighting new findings, resolved items, and score drift. Email alerts are rate-limited to one per hour per API, and webhooks are HMAC-SHA256 signed, with auto-disable after five consecutive failures to prevent notification storms. This approach reduces manual oversight while keeping noise at a manageable level.

middleBrick does not perform active SQL injection or command injection testing, as those require intrusive payloads outside its scope. It does not detect business logic vulnerabilities or blind SSRF, which rely on domain-specific understanding or out-of-band infrastructure. The tool surfaces findings with remediation guidance but does not fix, patch, or block issues. It does not replace a human pentester for high-stakes audits, and scan data can be deleted on demand and purged within 30 days of cancellation.
