Crossfyre vs Detectify
Closed EASM/DAST SaaS vs BYO-compute, open-core penetration testing.
Detectify is a polished, automated EASM and DAST SaaS with crowdsourced payloads, billed by assets (roughly $300/mo per 25 assets, 2026). It is fully managed and fully closed: no self-host, no inspectable engine, and scans run from Detectify infrastructure. Crossfyre is BYO-compute and open-core: the scan engines are open source and run on nodes you control, so you own the egress, with adaptive pacing, authenticated scanning, and BOLA/BFLA/BOPLA authorization testing, priced flat rather than per asset.
Detectify
- Automated EASM + DAST SaaS with crowdsourced payloads; strong polish and reporting
- Asset-based pricing (~$300/mo per 25 assets, 2026); costs scale with surface
- Fully managed and fully closed; no self-host, no inspectable engine
- Scans originate from Detectify infrastructure, not egress you control
- No BYO-compute fleet, OPSEC egress, or manual-authorized offensive workflows
Crossfyre
- Open-source engines on nodes you control; you own the egress
- Flat pricing from $29/mo, not metered per asset
- Authenticated scanning and BOLA/BFLA/BOPLA authorization testing
- Adaptive pacing and isolated egress to reach authorized targets behind WAFs
- Self-hostable nodes now; enterprise self-hosted control plane (data residency) on the roadmap
The honest take
Choose Detectify if you want a hands-off managed SaaS and asset-based EASM with mature reporting. Choose Crossfyre if you want to control the compute and egress, inspect the engines, and pay flat, with authorization testing built in.
Frequently asked
Can I control where scans originate, unlike a closed SaaS?
Yes. Crossfyre nodes run on your own boxes, so scan traffic leaves from egress you choose, through proxy chains and isolated tunnels if you want. Detectify runs scans from its own infrastructure.
How does pricing compare?
Detectify bills by assets, so cost grows with your surface. Crossfyre is flat (Free, Pro $29, Reaper $79, plus org plans); raw scanning is not metered per asset. Re-check both before quoting exact numbers.
