Pricing snapshot
- Trial14 days free, no perpetual free plan on the pricing page
- Basic$39 / month, from 5 targets, unlimited scans
- Premium$109 / month, adds API access and real-time results
- Professional$189 / month, deeper coverage; Flex from $3,500/yr for high volume
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?HostedScan's pricing page now leads with a 14-day free trial rather than a perpetual free plan (checked 2026-07-27). The cheapest paid plan, Basic, is $39/month for 5 targets.
- 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.
