Pricing is in credits; each AI exploit costs 1 to 7 credits by model tier. Annual billing saves 10%. Enterprise is custom. Extra credits cost $3.00 (Starter) down to $0.80 (Advanced). Credit cost per test depth is given on the homepage only as rough figures. Earlier Penti material and G2 listed other models (one-time tests from $3,000), so check the live page.

Our assessment
Editorial judgment by Excession Labs, based on the facts above. Not a rating.
Good fit when
Teams that want published monthly prices, credit-based AI testing across external, application, internal and identity layers, and an option to buy human-led hours.
Tradeoffs
Credit cost per test is only approximate, so the total cost of a full web app test is hard to predict. No downloadable sample report (an Evidence Player walkthrough exists). Human-verified findings are not a scoped manual pentest.
