Penti review
Broad AI-led testing with human validation, evidence, retesting, and compliance reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Penti combines agentic AI penetration testing with certified human testers for startups, security teams, engineering organizations, and enterprises. Its scope includes web applications, APIs, Android and iOS mobile applications, internal and external networks, cloud environments, and infrastructure. The platform supports vulnerability discovery, risk prioritization, remediation guidance, continuous scanning, retesting, video evidence, proof-of-concept evidence, and audit-grade compliance reporting.
Pricing starts with the Starter plan at $20 per month or $240 per year, including 20 credits per month, budget model access, Penti Cloud external testing, and agentic-AI pentests. Launch costs $300 per month or $3,600 per year and adds 300 credits, budget and standard models, MCP, Jira, GitHub, and Vanta integrations, audit-grade reports, and a Cyber Success Team. Plus costs $1,000 per month or $12,000 per year, with 1,200 credits, on-premise or hybrid testing, three human-verified findings per year, and compliance readiness. Advanced costs $2,000 per month or $24,000 per year and includes 2,600 credits, budget, standard, and premium models, six human-verified findings per year, and dedicated support. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Workflow fit is a central strength. Penti lists integrations with MCP, Jira, GitHub, Vanta, Slack, Microsoft Teams, webhooks, Drata, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Those connections support issue handling, security workflows, cloud environments, and compliance processes, while the available evidence and retesting features help carry findings beyond initial discovery. Teams seeking one service across application, mobile, network, and cloud testing should consider Penti. Organizations needing a free long-term option, or evaluating primarily on a narrower platform footprint, may prefer a more focused alternative.
