Pentest companies with published prices: Nov 2026 list

These pentest companies print a dollar or euro price on their own pages, checked on 9 November 2026. Units differ: a test, an asset, a credit, a day, a month or a year. A published price is a start point for the smallest scope, not a quote for your system. Most firms still quote on request.

Buyers who search for penetration testing pricing want a number before they talk to sales. This page lists the companies that print one. A provider qualifies when its own pricing page or product page shows a dollar or euro amount for a pentest or a pentest product. Rows run A to Z, no provider pays for position, and each price links to its source with the date we checked it.

21 of 21 providers shown (67 in the full table). Sorted A to Z, not ranked. Checked up to 9 November 2026.

"?" means the provider does not say on its public pages. It does not mean "no". Prices use each provider's own unit: a test, a year, a month or credits. Do not compare them as equal units. How we collect and check this data.

Which pentest prices do providers publish?#

This extract picks one clear entry price for some providers from the full table above, so you can see the range and the units side by side. All prices were read on 9 November 2026.

Provider Published price Unit Source
Aikido $4,000 (typical) per assessment, one app plus primary APIs, whitebox pricing
Astra Security $2,999 (Pentest Auto) per year pricing
Cobalt $3,500 (Autonomous Pentest, limited-time offer) per test pricing
CYBRI from $5,000 (Web Application) per engagement pricing
Hadrian from EUR 1,250 (Nova test), excluding VAT per test pricing
Intruder $3,500 per test pricing
Payatu from $3,500 (AI-Native Express) per test pricing
Prescient Security from $3,000 (Compliance Pentest) per engagement, scope-based pricing
Secure Ideas from $13,600 (smallest web application test) flat fee, starting pricing
Securitum 3,500 EUR to 14,000 EUR (typical total) per engagement pricing
Stingrai US$3,000 (Autonomous Pentest) per assessment pricing
Synack from $5,085 (Sara Pentest) per test pricing
TurboPentest $99 (Audit-Ready) per credit, one pentest pricing

The units differ, and so do the products. Some are automated tests of one target. Some are manual tests by people. The cheapest entry point is not the cheapest test of your system.

What does the list include, and how does a provider qualify?#

A provider qualifies when we recorded at least one price from its own page. We do not count a price from a review site, a reseller or an article. Free plans and tool subscriptions count when the provider sells them as part of its pentest range, and we show their unit.

Providers that print no amount are not on the list. Many firms say price depends on scope and quote after a call. That is a statement about their sales model and not about their quality.

Who does this list help?#

It helps buyers who need a budget range before they start a procurement, and buyers who want to filter out firms that give no figure. It also helps teams that need to compare an automated product with a manual engagement. Both exist under the same word.

For an explanation of price models, drivers and what a quote should contain, read the penetration testing cost guide. This page answers a narrower question: who prints a number, and what is it.

What should you ask providers?#

Ask for written answers to these questions, even when a price is public.

  1. Which scope does the published price assume (number of apps, roles, API endpoints)?
  2. Is depth black box, grey box or white box?
  3. Does the price include a retest, and for how long?
  4. Does a human review every finding?
  5. Is the price a limited-time offer, and when does it end?
  6. What extra items change the total (extra roles, environments, report formats)?

What drives the price?#

The entries show the main drivers. Scope is the first. Aikido states that its typical $4,000 covers one application plus its primary APIs, and that black-box and grey-box tests cost extra (Aikido). Delivery model is the second. TurboPentest sells automated pentests from $99 per credit, while Secure Ideas starts at $13,600 for its smallest web application test with people (TurboPentest, Secure Ideas). Retest terms are the third. Intruder states unlimited retesting on its single test and 4-pack, (Intruder). TurboPentest treats a retest as a full new pentest at the same per-target price (TurboPentest).

How do you read the table?#

Rows run A to Z. The Published price column shows the provider's own unit, such as a test, a year, a month or a credit. Do not read it as one unit. The Retest and Sample report columns help you judge value beyond the price, because a cheap test without a usable report costs more to act on.

What are the limits of this list?#

  • A published price is a start price for a smallest scope. Your scope may cost more.
  • Prices change without notice. Some are limited-time offers, like Cobalt's Autonomous Pentest price. Open the source link before you budget.
  • The list shows who publishes, not who is best. Firms that quote on request are missing by design.
  • A price on a page does not include tax, unless the page says so. Hadrian's price excludes VAT.

Questions

Why do most pentest companies not publish prices?

Providers say scope sets the price, so they quote after a call. Cost depends on the number of apps, roles, API endpoints and depth. A list price can mislead if your scope is larger than the smallest one. Ask for a written quote on your scope.

Can I compare the prices in the table directly?

No. Units differ: a test, an asset per year, a credit, a day or a monthly plan. A price for a scan of one asset is not a price for a manual test of an app with three roles. Compare only quotes for the same written scope.

Does a published price include retesting?

Sometimes. Intruder states unlimited retesting on its single test and 4-pack. Aikido states free retests for up to 6 months. TurboPentest treats a retest as a full new pentest at the same per-target price. Read the retest line for each provider before you compare.

How current are the prices?

Each price was read on the provider's own page on 9 November 2026. Prices change without notice, and some are limited-time offers. Open the source link before you rely on a number, and tell us if a price is out of date.
