The Core Difference
PentestCheck
Deep application-layer DAST with SSRF OOB probing and a unified Threat Score that synthesizes all findings into a single risk number. Free tier. Webhook alerts on Starter and Pro plans.
Intruder
Strong infrastructure scanning engine (ports, services, CVEs). Supports internal network scanning via agent. Good for organizations with significant on-premise or VPC infrastructure alongside external surfaces. Less deep on application-layer OWASP testing.
