Comparison Recon and ASM
Crossfyre vs Trickest
Two takes on workflow-driven offensive recon, at very different price points.
Trickest is a commercial visual workflow platform for offensive security. Its public plans are a free Community tier (restricted to non-commercial use) and a custom-quoted Enterprise tier, with nothing self-serve in between. If you do paid work but aren't an enterprise buyer, you fall in the gap. Crossfyre is built for exactly that gap.
Feature by feature
| Feature | Crossfyre | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Community, non-commercial only | Free plan, commercial use allowed |
| Self-serve paid plan | no | yes |
| Pricing | Quote only, through sales | From $29/mo, published |
| Workflow automation | Visual builder | .cfx playbooks |
| Who it is sold to | Enterprise buyers on contracts | Anyone doing paid offensive work |
Every claim about the other tool is taken from its own documentation and pricing as of mid-2026. Re-check before quoting a number.
Standards
What it covers, and what it will not claim.
Pick a list. Every row that says yes names the class that does the work, and every row that says no says why, because a coverage matrix with no gaps in it is a brochure.
8 covered 1 partly 1 not claimed The list this engine was built against. Eight fully, one partly, and one that nothing on the outside can honestly report.
MITRE ATT&CK is deliberately not here. It describes what an adversary does across a whole intrusion, and almost all of a web scanner collapses into one technique in it. A six-row ATT&CK matrix would look impressive and tell you nothing, which is the opposite of what this section is for.
The honest take
Choose Trickest if you are an enterprise buyer ready for a contract. Choose Crossfyre if you do paid offensive work and want a real, commercial-use tool you can put on a card today.
Questions people ask
Can I start without talking to sales?
Yes. Crossfyre has a free plan and self-serve Pro and Reaper plans you can start on a card today. No contract or sales call required.
Does Crossfyre do workflow-style automation?
Yes. Workflows chain the engines into repeatable, schedulable runs, and .cfx playbooks (an early, expanding capability) let you compose custom pipelines.
