Our verdict on Shodan Monitor
Shodan Monitor tracks internet-exposed assets across IP addresses, network ranges, domains, hostnames, and search-query results. It continuously crawls monitored networks, reports changes and selected triggers, and supports on-demand network scanning. The service is aimed at individuals, security teams, and organizations monitoring public-facing infrastructure, with web access and API-based workflows for teams that want exposure monitoring tied to existing processes.
Pricing spans four plans. Membership costs $49 as a one-time payment and is aimed at individuals getting started with Shodan. Freelancer costs $69 per month for organizations monitoring internet exposure and using the Shodan API. Small Business costs $359 per month, while Corporate costs $1,099 per month; both provide subscription access for organizations monitoring internet exposure and using the Shodan API. There is no free plan, so the Membership option is the accessible starting point, while the monthly tiers target organizations with ongoing monitoring and API needs.
The platform connects with email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, Gitter, PagerDuty, and webhooks for notifications. Events are available through the website, API, RSS, and Atom feeds, with streaming API and command-line access for technical workflows. These capabilities suit individuals and small teams that need continuous visibility into public exposure without adopting a broader platform. Organizations seeking deeper attack-surface-management coverage should consider alternatives with wider ASM functionality.
