Pentest-Tools.com rounds out the list as a scanner built by and for penetration testers. Its pricing page lists NetScan from $96 a month with 16 assets, AppScan from $140 with 5 assets and Exploit from $190 with 5 assets, plus a free edition, and yearly billing charges 10 months. NetScan covers network scanning for more than 17,400 CVEs, cloud checks for AWS, Azure and GCP, password auditing and recon tools. AppScan adds DAST beyond the OWASP Top 10, authenticated web scans and REST and GraphQL API scanning, and Exploit adds an automatic CVE exploiter, SQL injection and XSS exploiters and a pentest report generator. All plans include API access, unlimited rescans and team members, and integrations with Jira, Vanta, Nucleus Security and Microsoft Teams. It ranks last because it is lighter on asset inventory, risk scoring and long-term remediation tracking than dedicated vulnerability management platforms, and internal scanning costs extra.
