  • Browser-powered crawling covers JavaScript applications and single-page apps.
  • Scans authenticated areas and supports Postman, OpenAPI, SOAP, and GraphQL.
  • Connects recurring and CI/CD scans with governance and issue-tracking workflows.
Cons
  • The Free plan includes at least one on-demand scan per month
  • Full scan depth starts with the $9/month Starter plan
  • Founded in 2026, so its operating history is limited
  • Pricing is handled through contact sales rather than published plan rates.
  • Its broad governance and deployment options may exceed smaller teams’ needs.
  • Self-hosted deployment adds infrastructure choices across Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes.
