Appknox vs AppSweep

Appknox is a mobile application security testing platform for Android and iOS apps. It combines automated vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, software bill of materials generation, and app store monitoring. Automated assessment includes static analysis, dynamic analysis, and API security testing; users can start by uploading an app binary without providing source code. It supports apps made with Flutter, React Native, Xamarin, and Ionic. Teams can run scans, retrieve reports, and manage security operations through a command-line tool and public APIs. Listed integrations include Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, CircleCI, App Center Build, Bitbucket Pipelines, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and ArmorCode. Findings can be mapped to frameworks including GDPR, PCI-DSS v4.0, HIPAA, NIST, SAMA, DORA, CWE, and OWASP standards. Appknox offers on-premise and private-cloud deployment for local data residency needs. It says scans of the same app are unlimited, with pricing based on the number of unique apps assessed. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.

AppSweep is mobile application security testing software that examines app code and dependencies for security issues and offers recommendations. It uses static analysis alongside interactive runtime testing to identify vulnerabilities, then groups and prioritizes findings by OWASP MASVS categories. The free plan includes unlimited Android and iOS scans, unlimited team members, a command-line interface for CI pipelines and a downloadable PDF report. The CLI can be integrated with Bitrise, Fastlane, GitHub and Jenkins. AppSweep is an optional SaaS service that processes or collects application information during analysis under the customer's direction. Guardsquare says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES256 and TLS 1.2 or higher, and its SaaS products are hosted on Google Cloud Platform in EU data centers. Enterprise adds filtering for issues in unreachable or dead code and supports app uploads up to 1 GB; standard AppSweep supports up to 512 MB. Enterprise pricing is available on request.
