Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Escape is an offensive security platform for security and engineering teams testing web applications and APIs. It combines attack-surface management, business-logic-aware dynamic application security testing, AI pentesting, and external network pentesting. The platform supports authenticated testing with OAuth, SAML, password, TLS, TOTP MFA, and other methods, along with multi-user and multi-role testing. It is suited to teams assessing complex workflows, modern JavaScript applications, access controls, and public or private environments.

Its standout capability is the depth of application testing. State-aware crawling is designed for JavaScript-driven interfaces, while REST and GraphQL API testing covers common application interfaces. Scheduled and continuous scans can be paired with attack-surface discovery and asset attribution. Escape also validates exploitability and provides exploit proof, screenshots, exploration graphs, remediation guidance, and compliance reports mapped to security frameworks. This combination gives security teams a way to investigate both technical weaknesses and business-logic issues.

Escape fits teams that need automation across development and security workflows. It offers a public API, CLI, MCP Server, and CI/CD automation, with integrations including Wiz, Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini. The product is delivered as SaaS with an agent, supports private-location deployment, and is classified as hybrid. Pricing is handled through contact sales, with prices set in the applicable offer. Teams seeking deep coverage for complex applications should consider Escape; organizations with simpler scanning needs or a preference for publicly listed plan prices may find its scope and buying process less suitable.
