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

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.
