Acunetix
Mature commercial DAST scanner from Invicti — quote-based, generally $4,500+/yr per target tier.
What it does well
- Scans single-page applications (SPAs) and complex, password-protected web apps effectively.
- AcuSensor (IAST) component helps confirm vulnerabilities and reduces false positives.
- Integrates with CI/CD systems like Jenkins, Jira, and GitLab for automated scanning.
Where it falls short
- Pricing is quote-based and not transparent, starting at several thousand dollars per year.
- No free tier or monthly subscription option is available for smaller projects.
- The user interface can feel dated and less intuitive than some newer competitors.
