Pricing
Pay per scan. Credits never expire.
VulnScanners is credit-based: buy a pack of credits and spend one per scan across hosted Nmap, Nuclei, and OWASP ZAP. There is no subscription and no annual contract, and unused credits never expire — so irregular and multi-client scanning is never penalized. Packs run from $10 for 30 scans to $200 for 3,000 scans ($0.07 per scan).

Which pricing model fits you?
Hosted scanners price four ways. The cheapest one is the one that matches your usage shape — see our full pricing-model breakdown.
| Model | Best for |
|---|---|
| Per-credit (VulnScanners) | Irregular or multi-client usage — pre-buy flexibility, never forfeit it. |
| Per-scan | Occasional one-off assessments where you want zero commitment. |
| Per-target subscription | A fixed asset list scanned continuously; wasteful for changing rosters. |
| Flat subscription | Very high, steady scan volume against a stable scope. |
Pricing FAQ
- How does VulnScanners pricing work?
- VulnScanners is credit-based. You buy a pack of credits and each scan costs one credit, across hosted Nmap, Nuclei, and OWASP ZAP. Packs range from $10 for 30 scans ($0.33/scan) to $200 for 3,000 scans ($0.07/scan). There is no subscription or annual contract.
- Do VulnScanners credits expire?
- No. Credits never expire. You can buy a pack now and spend it over months or years, which makes the model a good fit for irregular and multi-client scanning where usage is uneven.
- How much does one scan cost?
- One credit per scan. Effective per-scan cost depends on the pack: $0.33 on the $10 Essential pack, $0.17 on the $50 Pro pack, and $0.07 on the $200 Scale pack. A full Nmap + Nuclei + ZAP pass on one target is three credits.
- Is there a free trial or free scan?
- The smallest pack is $10 for 30 scans, so you can validate the full workflow — hosted Nmap, Nuclei, and ZAP plus PDF reports — for the price of a coffee before committing further.
- Is VulnScanners cheaper than per-seat scanners like Nessus or Qualys?
- For variable or multi-client workloads, usually yes. You pay cents per scan instead of a fixed annual per-seat or per-target contract, so you are not spreading a large yearly license across a changing book of clients.
- Which pricing model is cheapest overall?
- There is no cheapest model in the abstract — it depends on your usage shape. High, steady volume against a fixed scope favors subscription or per-target pricing. Irregular or multi-client usage favors per-credit with non-expiring credits.
