AppCheck review
A hybrid scanner for authenticated web, SPA and API workflows, with sales-led pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AppCheck is a vulnerability scanning platform from UK-based AppCheck Ltd for security teams, penetration testers, developers and organisations managing application and infrastructure risk. It covers websites, modern web applications, single-page applications, APIs, infrastructure and cloud environments. Its hybrid deployment supports public scanning hubs for accessible targets and private scanning hubs for internal or otherwise inaccessible systems. Authenticated scripted browser workflows and JavaScript-driven crawling make it relevant to applications that require more than basic unauthenticated checks.
Pricing is handled through sales, and the published offering does not include a recurring free plan. That makes AppCheck more suitable for teams evaluating a managed commercial deployment than for smaller organisations seeking a self-service entry point. The platform connects with Jira, TeamCity, Microsoft Azure DevOps, Jenkins and CI/CD tooling, while its JSON API supports additional workflow integration. Scheduled and recurring scans, a vulnerability management dashboard, remediation workflows and one-click technical and executive reporting help connect scanning with ongoing security operations.
AppCheck’s strongest fit is a team that needs one workflow across authenticated web applications, JavaScript SPAs and REST, SOAP or GraphQL APIs. Private scanning hubs add coverage for internal targets, while the reporting and remediation features support coordination beyond the scan itself. Organisations that require general-purpose policy compliance scanning should consider an alternative, since AppCheck is positioned around vulnerability scanning and only supports compliance-related scanning in specific contexts. Teams comfortable with sales-led purchasing and a hybrid scanning model should find the feature coverage aligned with broad application risk management; buyers seeking a recurring free plan or compliance-focused tooling should look elsewhere.
