APISec Platform vs Wallarm API Security

APISec Platform is an application security tool for validating exploits against APIs and applications. It discovers applications, builds a dynamic model of their behavior, and runs attacker-like tests at runtime. The model can capture endpoints, parameters, authentication flows, roles, permissions, object ownership, and business logic without documentation or developer interviews. Tests cover business logic, data access, permissions, configuration, infrastructure, and controls such as injection and token handling. For validated exploits, the platform returns the request sequence, data reached, blast radius, replay, and a suggested resolution. APISec says it can find APIs across infrastructure, source, gateways, ingress and authentication paths, web apps, development tools, and CI/CD, as well as agents, MCP servers, and LLM call sites. Public APIs run against its cloud; private and on-premises APIs can use a Kubernetes or Docker container, while cloud deployments can run in a customer’s GCP, Azure, or AWS environment. The free plan covers public API testing and basic simulations. Standard costs $690 a month per 100 endpoints; Pro costs $2,750 a month per 100 endpoints.

Wallarm API Security discovers APIs and protects them in real time against attacks, abuse, and account takeover. It covers REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and WebSocket APIs without requiring an API specification, and can identify shadow, zombie, and rogue APIs. The product can generate OpenAPI specifications from live traffic and block attacks such as injection, BOLA, broken authentication, and zero-day exploits. Behavior analysis detects credential stuffing, account takeover, malicious bots, and L7 DDoS. It can surface APIs handling personal, payment, credential, or health data and map that information to compliance scope. API Leak Management scans public sources for keys, tokens, and credentials associated with customer domains. Deployment options include managed Security Edge and self-hosted Kubernetes, cloud VM, and API gateway connector setups. The Security Edge Free Tier allows 500,000 requests per month for three users per company and excludes vulnerability assessment and API Abuse Prevention. Once the monthly quota is exceeded, console access and integrations are disabled. Paid core plans require contacting sales for pricing; listed paid plans include six months of event storage.
