Pricing questions.
What is the Startup deal and who qualifies?
The Startup deal is founder pricing at $499 a month, a fraction of standard pricing, so we keep it to genuinely early-stage teams. Teams of 5 or fewer with a live product in production qualify. We read every application and reply within two business days.
Is there a free trial?
There is no free scan tier, because every run costs real compute and is gated behind a signed rules-of-engagement document. Instead, every paid plan starts with our Pwn-or-Free month: if we don't find a working exploit in your first month, that month is free. Creating an account and configuring a target costs nothing; you pay when you run.
What if I need more than one pentest a month?
Two options. Turn on on-demand pentests inside the dashboard (each runs on demand and is billed at $2,999), or build a Custom volume plan with the calculator (2 to 20 pentests a month) for a lower per-pentest price and a fixed term.
What counts as a pentest vs a scan?
A pentest is a live LLM-agent attack against your running app, with hours of recon, exploitation, and validation. That is the unit we meter and price. Scans read your code (per-PR diff or whole-repo) and map the attack surface; they run alongside your pentests and are not metered separately.
Can we pay annually?
Yes. Annual billing saves 17 percent (two months free). The Custom volume plan also offers a 6-month term at 8 percent off. The Monthly plan stays month to month with no lock.
