DAST / Attack Surface Management
DygDog vs. Detectify
Continuous web application attack surface monitoring
What is Detectify?
Detectify is a SaaS-based DAST and attack surface management platform that crowdsources its vulnerability modules from an elite community of security researchers. It offers continuous scanning, asset discovery, and a strong set of custom test modules. It is well-regarded in the European startup and scale-up market but carries significant per-asset pricing and does not generate AI-powered remediation code.
Detectify is best suited for: Engineering-led companies wanting crowdsourced attack surface coverage. Pricing typically starts at From ~$100/asset/month — enterprise pricing on request.
Feature comparison
| Feature | DygDog | Detectify |
|---|---|---|

| Compliance output | Automated SOC 2 / ISO / GDPR packs | Limited — manual mapping needed |
| Pricing model | Per seat, free tier available | Per-asset, scales steeply |
| OWASP coverage | 72 checks across OWASP Testing Guide | Crowdsourced modules, variable coverage |
| Configuration drift | Yes — continuous change alerts | Asset discovery focused |
| Free entry point | 1 free scan/day — no account needed | Trial only, demo required |
Detectify limitations
