We do not sell off-the-shelf packages. Every engagement is scoped against your assets, company profile, and compliance posture. Below is exactly how we price.
A fast, focused security check of your application — driven by a senior pentester who uses our internal AI tooling heavily to multiply coverage. Designed for startups and product teams who want a real assessment, fast, without enterprise pricing.
Tell us your scope and we will reach out within one business day to confirm the engagement.
Our AI tooling fans out across the scope under the pentester's direction — surface enumeration, parameter mapping, candidate vulnerability identification. The pentester reviews each AI-flagged item and filters out the noise.
The human-only step. The pentester hands-on verifies each promising candidate, attempts real exploitation, eliminates false positives, and chains anything that combines. No finding makes it to the report without a working reproduction.
A clear report with executive summary, technical reproduction steps for each finding, severity, and remediation guidance. If you ship fixes within 14 days, we re-verify them at no extra cost.
Pricing in this industry is rarely as simple as "days × testers." Day rates assume a constant complexity — and security assessments are anything but. Here is what actually moves the number.
How much there is to test — number of applications, APIs, hosts, user roles, and authenticated paths. The single biggest cost lever.
A mid-stage startup and a Fortune 500 do not face the same threat model. Enterprises with regulated data or critical infrastructure pay accordingly.
Black-box (no information) is more expensive than grey-box. White-box assessments with source review and architecture analysis are the deepest tier.
SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and NIS2-aligned engagements require additional documentation and certified assessors. Adds 15–30% on average.
Our team holds OSCP, OSWE, OSWP, GXPN, GWAPT, eCPPT, eMAPT, and eWPTX. Senior researchers are billed at a premium and you can request specific seniority.
Standard engagements run 1–3 weeks. Rush delivery, extended timelines, and ongoing retest contracts are priced separately.
We do not publish a fixed price per asset because no two engagements are alike. Below is what is involved at each level of your stack and what tends to push complexity up.
The threat model of a 30-person startup is not the threat model of a regulated multinational. Enterprises with critical-infrastructure exposure, regulated data, or public-market scrutiny carry materially different risk profiles.
< 50 employees · pre-Series B · single product
One web app or API. Often pursuing first SOC 2 or enterprise contract.
50 – 250 employees · multi-product · recurring customers
Web app + API + a small cloud footprint. Annual or pre-launch cadence.
250 – 2,000 employees · multiple business units · regulated industry
Multi-app web/API/mobile coverage, with cloud and internal network components.
2,000+ employees · public, financial, healthcare, energy, or telecom
Comprehensive program: multiple apps + cloud + network + red team option. Continuous engagement model is common.
Engagements with public companies, critical infrastructure operators, financial institutions, and large healthcare providers are priced not only against scope but against operational risk, indemnity requirements, and the standards their auditors and regulators expect. We routinely scope engagements in the $80K–$250K range for organizations with multi-billion-dollar revenue and broad attack surface. Custom quotes for organizations of this profile are always required.
Compliance-driven engagements require certified assessors, additional documentation, and reporting formats your auditors will accept. The uplifts below are applied to the underlying asset pricing.
| Framework | Uplift | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type I / II | +10–20% | Mapped findings, attestation-ready evidence, auditor-friendly artefacts. |
| PCI DSS | +15–25% | Certified assessor coverage, segmentation testing, ASV alignment. |
| HIPAA / HITRUST | +15–25% | PHI handling review, technical safeguards mapping, risk analysis. |
| ISO 27001 / 27017 | +10–20% | Annex A control mapping, ISMS evidence pack. |
| FedRAMP | +25–40% | NIST 800-53 control coverage, FedRAMP-ready reporting format. |
| NIS2 / DORA | +15–25% | EU-aligned reporting, critical entity scoping, ICT risk mapping. |
Regardless of price tier, every BugSwagger engagement delivers the same baseline of evidence, documentation, and post-engagement support. We do not charge separately for the report, the retest, or the handoff call.
