Decision guide
Which one fits your team?
Probely and BoringSec solve different problems. Here is the honest split.
Probely is the better fit when
- You need true DAST that actively probes a running app with attack payloads, beyond configuration and exposure checks
- You must scan authenticated, logged-in areas and APIs (REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI), including SSO flows
- You want deep CI/CD integration that can fail builds on severity thresholds
BoringSec is the better fit when
- You want a self-serve answer without a demo, onboarding, or sales call
- You are an indie developer, founder, or small team shipping an AI-built app (Cursor, Lovable, v0, Bolt, Windsurf) and want affordable, self-serve pricing
- You want broad coverage in one pass plus plain-language, AI-ready fixes, not an enterprise console to operate
- You want both website security and SEO / AI-search readiness, with separate report flows and grades available in 10 languages
