Invadel vs Invicti
Invicti, formerly Netsparker, is an application security platform built around DAST, 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
As of Sep 2026, Invicti describes itself as an AppSec platform that brings several scanning engines into one view. It scans web applications and APIs, validates many findings with proof-based scanning, connects to CI/CD and issue trackers, and now sells Acunetix as Invicti Web + API alongside an automated Agentic Pentest plan.
Invadel
Senior testers work the application manually across every role you provide, chaining findings into demonstrated attack paths and reporting them as audit evidence.

What drives each price: Web App cost guide, Secure Code Review cost guide, API cost guide.
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, and our guide to web application security testing explains how they fit together.
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.
