Pricing snapshot
- Wiz CNAPPQuote only. Per-workload pricing. $50k-$120k partner-reported for ~500-workload estate.
- Wiz CodeBundled or add-on, quote-only
- Wiz Defend (CDR)Add-on, quote-only
What scales, what does not
- Wiz prices per cloud workload (compute instance or container), not per IP or per host. Comparing Wiz $/workload to Tenable $/asset is meaningless without normalising.
- Google Cloud's pending acquisition (announced 2025) has not, as of 2026-06-26, materially changed the published roadmap or pricing model.
- PoCs are aggressive: most prospects see Wiz light-up of their AWS / Azure / GCP within 24 hours without agents.
Where it hits the ceiling
Wiz replaces Tenable for cloud-first estates. It does not replace Tenable for on-prem network scanning.

FAQ
- Is Wiz pricing public?No. Wiz pricing is quote-only as of 2026-06-26. Figures cited are partner-reported.
- Is there a free tier of Wiz?No formal free tier. Trials and PoCs are common.
- Does Wiz cover web application scanning?Partial; CNAPP covers cloud-deployed web apps via configuration and image scanning, not DAST.
- Does Wiz produce PCI ASV evidence?Indirectly; pair with an ASV-attested tool for the formal quarterly ASV scan.
- How often does Wiz 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.
