Pentera pricing: what the vendor publishes
Pentera publishes no prices. Its homepage, read on 9 November 2026, offers only a 'Talk to an Expert' contact and demo booking, and it states no turnaround or sample report. Pricing is a custom quote. This page records what Pentera does say, explains why a quote's unit matters, and lists the questions to ask before you compare it with providers that publish per-asset or per-test prices.
Pentera sells an installed platform for security validation, so its price depends on what you license. This page records what Pentera publishes on its homepage as of 9 November 2026, and what to ask for in a quote.
What does Pentera publish about price?#
Pentera publishes no price. The homepage offers "Talk to an Expert" and demo booking, and nothing else about cost.

Source for each row: Pentera homepage. The page mentions a 60% cut in third-party pentest cost. That is a marketing claim, not a price. We do not publish third-party price estimates, because they are not Pentera statements.
What is the price unit, and what does it buy?#
The unit is not stated, which is the main thing to settle in a quote. Pentera describes the Pentera Platform with Core (internal), Surface (external) and Cloud modules, plus Resolve for remediation. It also offers AI-native web app and API testing, and human-led adversarial testing under SECTOR11.
A buyer can be charged by module, by asset, by environment size, by user or by term. Each one scales differently. Compare that with providers that publish a unit:
| Provider | Published price | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Horizon3.ai (NodeZero) | $15 (Flex) | per asset, per test (12-month term) |
| Horizon3.ai (NodeZero) | $50 (Core) | per asset, annual subscription |
| Horizon3.ai (NodeZero) | $10,000 (WebApp Flex) | per app, per test (12-month term) |
| Intruder | $3,500 (single pentest) | per test |
| Synack | $5,085 (Sara Pentest, starting price) | per test |
Source: each provider's pricing page, checked 9 November 2026, via the linked profile. The products differ in scope. A per-asset price and an installed platform are not equal purchases.
Per-asset arithmetic with an invented asset count
This demonstrates how a unit changes a budget. No real quote or customer was used. Horizon3.ai publishes $50 per asset per year for its Core subscription. For an invented estate of 40 assets, that is 40 x $50 = $2,000 per year. A per-module or per-environment quote cannot be reduced to this formula. Ask Pentera what the multiplier is, so you can run the same sum on its quote.
What costs extra or is not stated?#
Everything is unstated, so ask about each of these:
- Whether the Core, Surface and Cloud modules are priced separately.
- Whether Resolve (remediation) is part of the base price.
- Whether human-led SECTOR11 adversarial testing is a separate services fee.
- Whether the quote covers internal networks only or external surface and cloud identity too.
- Whether pricing changes with the size of the environment.
What do retests and turnaround look like?#
Pentera states no turnaround. The homepage gives no time to first finding and no report time. The page says remediation is followed by re-testing and that the FAQ revalidates fixes. It states no window and no limit, so ask for both in writing. The distinction matters for an installed platform. A re-run after a fix may be a button press, or it may count against a licensed quota.
How does a Pentera quote compare in structure with other providers?#
Pentera is a platform sale, so compare it with other platform and subscription prices, not with a one-off test. Our penetration testing cost guide explains the units (test, asset, credit, day, subscription). The automated pentesting tools guide covers how autonomous platforms differ from human-led tests. See the Pentera provider profile for scope and delivery.
Who is a Pentera quote written for?#
Pentera suits larger security teams that want an installed platform, per our dataset. The dataset describes the best fit as continuous validation of internal networks, the external surface and cloud identity, with optional expert-led services. A team that needs one web app tested once is a different buyer, and per-test providers publish prices for that.
The tradeoffs in our profile are the same ones this page records. No prices, no sample report and no stated turnaround are published. Pentera's footer shows SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and ISO 9001 badges, but the homepage does not link a certificate for them, so we list none. Ask Pentera for the certificates if they matter to your review.
Pentera's contact page lists offices, but our dataset records no headquarters country from it, so we show that field as Not published. Budget owners should expect a sales process. The homepage offers demo booking, so plan time for a demo and a scoping conversation before a number arrives.
What should a Pentera quote request include?#
Send every provider the same scope summary from the scoping checklist, then ask Pentera for:
- The pricing unit and the total for your scope, itemized by module.
- The term, the renewal terms and the quote expiry date.
- What the base price includes: internal, external, cloud and web app and API testing.
- Services fees for human-led testing.
- Retest terms, including any cap on re-runs.
- A sample report or a demo output you can keep for your own review.
- The time from signing to the first test run.

Questions
How much does Pentera cost?
Pentera does not publish a price. Its homepage on 9 November 2026 offers a 'Talk to an Expert' contact and demo booking, and the pricing model in our dataset is a custom quote. Figures you may see on other sites are third-party estimates, not Pentera statements.
Does Pentera's '60%' claim tell me the price?
No. The homepage claims a 60% cut in third-party pentest cost. That is a marketing claim about savings, not a price, and the page does not give the base it is measured against.
Does Pentera include retesting?
The homepage says remediation is followed by re-testing, and the FAQ says Pentera revalidates fixes. It does not state a retest window, a limit or a fee.
What should I ask Pentera for in a quote?
Ask for the unit (assets, modules, users or time), the term, what each module covers, any services fee for the human-led SECTOR11 testing, the retest terms and the quote expiry date. The checklist below has the full list.
