COMPARISON

Detectify vs Pentesting.se

Detectify is a leading enterprise DAST and EASM platform with a strong vulnerability research team. It excels at deep application scanning — but enterprise pricing puts it out of reach for most SMBs.

What Detectify does well

  • Community-sourced vulnerability research (Crowdsource)
  • Deep DAST with authenticated scanning
  • Strong EASM / asset discovery for large org inventories
  • Swedish roots (founded in Stockholm in 2013)

A note on ownership

Detectify was acquired by Francisco Partners — a US-based private equity firm — in 2024. While the product continues to develop, enterprise PE ownership typically means focus shifts toward larger contracts and revenue optimization. For Swedish and Nordic organisations with GDPR obligations and a preference for long-term vendor stability, this is worth factoring into your evaluation.
