Invadel vs Invicti
Invicti, formerly Netsparker, is a DAST platform known for confirming many findings automatically to cut false positives. That solves the triage problem well. It does not solve the logic problem, which is what a penetration test is for.
The models
How each one works
Invicti
Invicti scans web applications and APIs automatically, verifying a proportion of findings to reduce false positives, and integrates results into development workflows at scale.
Invadel
Senior testers work the application manually across every role you provide, chaining findings into demonstrated attack paths and reporting them as audit evidence.

01Is proof-based scanning the same as a pentest?
No. Automated verification confirms that a detected issue is real; it does not discover the flaws that require understanding your business logic. The two are complementary.
02Do you review source code too?
Yes. Secure code review starts at $4,800 and pairs AI-assisted static analysis with manual review at the source.
03How long is a web app test?
Typically one to two weeks of testing plus reporting, starting within 24 hours of signing.
