Recommended path
Hybrid is our default for SOC 2 buyers. It combines AI-driven coverage with senior pentester validation, so your auditor sees both depth and speed.
Pricing shown as "from" because real scopes vary. Senior tester rate $250 per hour for work beyond confirmed scope. One free retest included within 360 days.
If you need ongoing validation instead of a one-time assessment, consider an annual plan.

Things buyers ask us most
How pentest pricing actually works in 2026
Quick answer
Penetration test pricing in 2026 typically ranges from $1,500 for a small AI-driven assessment to $25,000 or more for a large manual engagement. Hybrid AI plus human engagements, which we recommend as the default for most SaaS companies, range from $5,000 for a small scope to $15,000 or more for a large scope. Senior pentester time is billed at $250 per hour.
Why traditional pentests cost $15,000 to $25,000 or more
Traditional consultancies bill on senior pentester hours at $200 to $400 per hour. A Medium web application engagement runs 30 to 60 hours of validated testing, which lands between $15,000 and $25,000. A Large engagement with multi-tenant logic and many roles can land above $25,000. Most of that cost covers reconnaissance and reporting work that AI can now compress.
Why PTaaS shifted the market
Pentest as a Service vendors moved the engagement onto a platform and charge an annual subscription. That brought price predictability but did not lower the unit cost of a senior pentester hour, which is why PTaaS still typically runs $10,000 to $25,000 per year for a single asset.
How AI-driven testing changes the cost model
AI agents handle reconnaissance, vulnerability triage, and report drafting in a fraction of the time. Senior pentesters spend their hours on validation, chained exploits, and business logic where humans still outperform automation. The result is audit-ready coverage at a price closer to $1,500 to $5,000.
How to scope to control cost
- Test only what is in scope for your audit, not your entire estate.
- Group similar assets (for example five identical microservices) into a single test plan.
- Provide credentialed access when possible to reduce reconnaissance time.
- Plan retesting into the original engagement so you avoid a second contract.
