Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Acunetix

  • AWS Marketplace lists Acunetix Online Premium, published by seller Invicti Security, at $7,000 per year for 5 targets under a 12 month contract, where a target is one fully qualified domain, website, web app, API or web service
  • AWS Marketplace's Invicti listing shows Premium Support priced separately at $150,000 per year and Premium Support with Guided Success at $300,000 per year, on top of the base scanning licence

Darwinbox

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site; visitors are directed only to schedule a demo or request early access rather than see a figure
  • The vendor's own homepage frames access around demos and early access programs rather than self-serve signup, meaning evaluation requires a sales conversation before any cost is known
