Synack at a glance: what it tests, who does the testing, published prices, turnaround, retesting and sample reports. Sourced and dated.

Synack sells pentests that mix an AI agent (Sara) with a vetted crowd of researchers, in point-in-time or continuous form. Pricing is published per product as a starting price, bought through credits.
- Website: https://www.synack.com/
- Type: Crowdsourced platform
- Delivery: hybrid. Combines Sara, an autonomous AI agent, with the Synack Red Team of vetted human researchers; the SynackST product uses a single human tester.
- Scope: Web apps yes; APIs yes; Cloud yes; Network yes; Mobile yes; AI apps yes
- Pricing model: mixed
  - Sara Pentest: $5,085 per test (starting price) (One Standard Sara Pentest, external web or host only; 4-5 business day window; patch verification and report included.) https://www.synack.com/pricing/
  - SynackST (compliance): $10,283 per test (starting price) (One Standard pentest by a single tester for one framework; up to 25 unauthenticated web apps, or 1 low-complexity authenticated web app, or 100 host IPs; 5-day window.) https://www.synack.com/pricing/
  - Synack14: $27,120 per test (starting price) (One Synack14 pentest by a team; up to 50 unauthenticated web apps, or 1 authenticated web app, or 250 host IPs; 14-day window.) https://www.synack.com/pricing/
- Pricing note: Prices are starting prices per test, bought with credits that expire one year after purchase. The Synack Platform is required for any test and is billed separately with no published price (a free Basic tier exists). Enterprise is custom.
- Turnaround: Test windows: 4-5 business days (Sara), 5 days (SynackST), 14 days (Synack14). (Length of the testing window, not time to start or time to report.)
- Retesting: Patch verification is listed as included in each product; the platform subscription lets you request patch verifications and retests.
- Sample report: not published 
- Credentials: FedRAMP authorized (level not stated on the pages checked) (https://www.synack.com/pricing/)
- Compliance mentioned: FISMA, CMMC, NIST, SOC 2, PCI DSS
Good fit when: Buyers who want published starting prices for a range of depth levels, including a team-based 14-day test, and public-sector buyers who need FedRAMP-aligned procurement paths.
Tradeoffs: The mandatory platform subscription is not priced, so the all-in cost is not visible. Prices are starting prices that depend on scope. Synack merged with NetSPI (announced Sept 2, 2026), so offerings may change.
