Comparison Scanners and DAST
Crossfyre vs Detectify
Closed EASM/DAST SaaS vs BYO-compute, open-core penetration testing.
Detectify is a polished, automated EASM and DAST SaaS with crowdsourced payloads, billed by assets (roughly $300/mo per 25 assets, 2026). It is fully managed and fully closed: no self-host, no inspectable engine, and scans run from Detectify infrastructure. Crossfyre is BYO-compute and open-core: the scan engines are open source and run on nodes you control, so you own the egress, with adaptive pacing, authenticated scanning, and BOLA/BFLA/BOPLA authorization testing, priced flat rather than per asset.
Feature by feature
| Feature |  Detectify | Crossfyre |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | ~$300/mo per 25 assets | Flat, from $29/mo |
| Where scans run | Detectify infrastructure | Nodes you control |
| Engine | Closed, not inspectable | Open source |
| Crowdsourced payload research | A core strength | Not offered |
| Authorization testing | Not what it is for | BOLA, BFLA and BOPLA |
| Self-hosting | Not offered | Nodes now, control plane on the roadmap |
| Reporting | Mature and polished | Findings, history and exports |

Standards
What it covers, and what it will not claim.
Pick a list. Every row that says yes names the class that does the work, and every row that says no says why, because a coverage matrix with no gaps in it is a brochure.
8 covered 1 partly 1 not claimed The list this engine was built against. Eight fully, one partly, and one that nothing on the outside can honestly report.
MITRE ATT&CK is deliberately not here. It describes what an adversary does across a whole intrusion, and almost all of a web scanner collapses into one technique in it. A six-row ATT&CK matrix would look impressive and tell you nothing, which is the opposite of what this section is for.
The honest take
Choose Detectify if you want a hands-off managed SaaS and asset-based EASM with mature reporting. Choose Crossfyre if you want to control the compute and egress, inspect the engines, and pay flat, with authorization testing built in.
Questions people ask
Can I control where scans originate, unlike a closed SaaS?
Yes. Crossfyre nodes run on your own boxes, so scan traffic leaves from egress you choose, through proxy chains and isolated tunnels if you want. Detectify runs scans from its own infrastructure.
How does pricing compare?
Detectify bills by assets, so cost grows with your surface. Crossfyre is flat (Free, Pro $29, Reaper $79, plus org plans); raw scanning is not metered per asset. Re-check both before quoting exact numbers.
