BoringSec vs Probely
Probely is dynamic application security testing (dast) scanner. BoringSec offers a fast, affordable, self-serve Security Audit for deployed websites and AI-built apps. Paste a URL, review the evidence, and get concrete fixes.
What's included
What you get with BoringSec
One focused Security Audit shows what was verified, what still needs authorization, and the fixes you can ship.
Fast and self-serve
Paste a URL and see the maximum available lightweight findings, evidence, counts, and coverage in about a minute. No sales call, account, agent, or onboarding is required.
17 pre-verification URL modules plus 6 verified-owner heavy scanners (3 external engines)
The pre-verification modules report first. Injection, XSS, Ports, Nuclei, ZAP, and Medusa start only after a signed-in owner verifies the domain. Applicable, authorization-required, and unavailable states remain explicit.
One evidence-backed A++ to F grade
The overall score and grade stay N/A until every required category, including all six verified-owner heavy scanners, settles with fully verified coverage. Findings and severity remain visible before then.
AI-ready fixes
Plain-language remediation with copy-paste prompts for Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, v0, and Windsurf.
Evidence before conclusions
Confirmed, partial, unavailable, and authorization-required checks stay distinct, so an untested surface is never presented as clean.
Priced for builders
Transparent, low pricing with reports in 10 languages, optional continuous monitoring, and API / CI-CD / Slack hooks.
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 one focused website Security Audit with clear evidence states, concrete remediation, and reports available in 10 languages
For context: Probely is a cloud-based DAST platform that dynamically scans running web applications and APIs for issues like injection, XSS, and auth flaws, with remediation guidance. It was acquired by Snyk in 2024 and now powers Snyk's API & Web product. Built for Agile dev, DevSecOps, and security teams wanting continuous automated DAST.
