Pros and cons
Strengths and trade-offs - ours too.
Every tool gives something up. Here's what each one does well, and what you accept by choosing it.
MyPentest
Strengths
- Built around the web app: crawls it, mines JavaScript for hidden endpoints, then tests them
- Signs in as two of your test accounts to confirm one user can read another's data
- Published rupee prices, including a single-scan option, with no auto-renewal
- A human pentest from the same team when you need one
Trade-offs
- No infrastructure, cloud or container scanning
- No continuous monitoring or scheduled scans yet (on the roadmap)
- No compliance reporting
- Fewer integrations - exports (SARIF, Markdown, JSON) rather than connectors
Intruder
Strengths
- Broad coverage: infrastructure, web apps, cloud accounts, containers
- Continuous monitoring and alerts when new ports or services appear
- A free plan and a 14-day trial of the paid tier
- Compliance reporting and many integrations
Trade-offs
- Plan prices aren't published - billed as a base fee plus per-target fees
- Web-app testing is one part of a wide platform rather than the focus
- Prices exclude VAT and are not in rupees

FAQ
MyPentest vs Intruder: common questions.
Can MyPentest replace Intruder?
Only if your web app and its API are all you need tested. MyPentest doesn't scan infrastructure, cloud accounts or containers, and doesn't monitor continuously yet.
Can I use both?
Yes - that's a sensible pairing. Use a platform like Intruder for breadth and monitoring, and MyPentest for deeper testing of the applications that hold your users' data.
