Intruder is deliberately smaller in scope than the platforms above. Attack surface discovery and monitoring, external and internal scanning, cloud posture and container scanning cover the ground a team of two or three actually needs, without a deployment project.

Pricing is published, which is rare here: a base fee plus per-target licensing, with a permanent free plan launched in July 2026 covering a handful of web applications and one cloud account. For an organisation deciding whether exposure management is worth a budget line, that removes the first obstacle.

Prioritisation of scan output was the founding premise: results are filtered down to what is worth acting on rather than exported as a wall of findings, though there is no attack path or business-context scoring. Fifteen or more ticketing and workflow integrations cover mobilisation adequately.

Validation is limited. Remediation rescans confirm a fix worked, and an add-on artificial intelligence penetration testing service is available per test, but there is no breach and attack simulation or control efficacy testing.

Check in a demo: whether the free or entry tier covers enough of your real asset count to be a genuine starting point, and what the per-target charges look like at your full scope.
