Differences
What sets HostedScan apart from Beagle Security
Unlimited scans per target
Basic, Premium, and Professional run unlimited scans per target on any schedule. Beagle Security meters tests per month and concurrent tests per plan.
Whole stack coverage
OpenVAS, Nuclei, Nmap, and SSLyze cover the infrastructure a web-only DAST does not scan.
Nessus on Professional
Tenable Nessus for external, internal, and endpoint scanning, in the same list as the open-source scanners.
Cheaper as targets grow
Per-target rates step down at 50 and 100 targets. Beagle Security scales by tests and plan tier.
