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

XBOW is an autonomous testing platform that runs many AI agents in parallel against web applications and APIs and validates findings with exploits. Buyers set scope, impact level and testing windows.
- Website: https://xbow.com/
- Type: Autonomous testing platform
- Delivery: automated. The vendor says no human drives the attack: autonomous AI agents test and findings are reviewed before delivery (who reviews is not stated).
- Scope: Web apps yes; APIs yes; Cloud unknown; Network unknown; Mobile unknown; AI apps unknown
- Pricing model: custom quote
- Pricing note: Pricing is described as usage-based and scoped to your environment; no unit or amount is published. A $50,000 AWS Marketplace credit package noted on 2026-11-08 was not re-verified today, so it is not listed.
- Turnaround: First validated findings arrive in hours; testing is continuous or on demand. (Time to first findings, not a full report.)
- Retesting: Retests after a fix are described as free and unlimited.
- Sample report: not published 
- Credentials: None with public evidence found
- Compliance mentioned: SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, PCI DSS, NIS 2
Good fit when: Engineering-led teams that want continuous automated testing of many web apps and APIs, with controls over scope, rate limits and test windows.
Tradeoffs: No price is published and the compliance list on the page does not make clear whether XBOW holds these certifications or supports the frameworks. Scope is web apps and APIs only on the page checked.
