HostedScan is the cheapest paid scanner on this list with a published price. Basic costs $39 a month billed yearly and includes five targets with unlimited scanning, using full versions of ZAP, OpenVAS, Nuclei, SSLyze and Nmap. Every plan tracks the lifecycle of each finding, lets you accept or remediate risks, maps your external attack surface, shows a health score and allows unlimited team members. Premium at $109 adds authenticated scans, internal network scanning, APIs and CSV export, and Professional at $189 adds Nessus Professional, Nessus Agents, white-label reports and SAML SSO. That makes it popular with MSPs that need branded reports for many clients. The limits are scale and depth: five targets fill quickly, and prioritization is based on CVSS and risk classes rather than the threat intelligence models in Tenable or Qualys. As an affordable way to meet SOC 2 or cyber insurance scanning requirements, it works well.
