Pricing snapshot
- Free5 targets, manual scans
- Pro$30 / month, 10 targets, scheduled scans
- Business$250 / month, 100 targets, team features
- Enterprise$980 / month, 500 targets, SLA
What scales, what does not
- Underlying engines are OpenVAS (network), OWASP ZAP (web), Nuclei (template-based), sslyze (TLS).
- Removes the operational lift of running OSS scanners yourself. The price difference vs running OpenVAS on a small VM is the ops time.
- Reports are auditor-friendly and exportable.
Where it hits the ceiling
Useful up to ~100 targets; serious enterprise estate still wants Tenable / Qualys / Rapid7 evidence packaging.

FAQ
- Is HostedScan pricing public?Yes. HostedScan publishes list pricing on its product page (cited above).
- Is there a free tier of HostedScan?Yes, HostedScan Free covers 5 targets with manual scans.
- Does HostedScan cover web application scanning?Limited; for serious web DAST coverage pair with Burp Enterprise, Invicti, or Acunetix.
- Does HostedScan produce PCI ASV evidence?Indirectly; pair with an ASV-attested tool for the formal quarterly ASV scan.
- How often does HostedScan update its vulnerability content?Daily for commercial scanners (Tenable plugins, Qualys signatures, Rapid7 recog). Open-source OpenVAS NVT feed is daily but lags commercial coverage by hours to days.
