What differs
- HostedScan runs full vulnerability scanners (OpenVAS, OWASP ZAP, Nmap) on up to 5 targets per plan. Our active checks are narrower: secret file paths and the 200 most common TCP ports, on domains you have verified.
- Defendify's packages include policy templates, awareness training videos and, at higher tiers, managed detection and response. Our Complete plan adds lookalike-domain, exposure, evidence and file checks. It does not include training videos or a monitoring team.
- Both vendors list more features than this table. Read each pricing page before you choose.
