Astra Pentest
Continuous DAST + manual pentest hybrid — published pricing $199-$5,999/yr, popular with SaaS startups.
What it does well
- Combines automated DAST with manual pentesting for more comprehensive vulnerability discovery.
- Provides detailed, developer-friendly remediation steps, including video PoCs for found vulnerabilities.
- Offers a publicly-verifiable security certificate upon successful completion of a pentest.
Where it falls short
- No free tier or trial is available for hands-on evaluation before purchase.
- Pricing is significantly higher than purely automated DAST scanner-only tools.
- The service is fully managed; there is no self-hosted or on-premise deployment option.
