The unit is a discovered asset (server, device, cloud resource or service), not a test or an engagement. Flex is per asset per test; Core, Pro and Elite are annual subscriptions. WebApp pricing is per app. Support tiers cost extra (Enhanced 10% of subscription, minimum $7,500/year; Premier 20%, minimum $25,000/year). Totals depend on asset count, which is not known in advance.

Our assessment

Editorial judgment by Excession Labs, based on the facts above. Not a rating.

Good fit when

Security teams that want to test internal and external networks, cloud and Active Directory often, and can count their assets. The published per-asset prices make budgeting possible once the asset count is known.

Tradeoffs

Costs scale with asset count and are hard to compare with per-test prices. The pages checked do not mention mobile or human review of findings, and no sample report is offered.
