Appknox vs Ostorlab

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.

Ostorlab provides agentic penetration testing for mobile apps, web apps, APIs, and connected source code. Its agents can work through authenticated workflows involving logins, one-time codes, and multi-factor authentication. Findings include replayable proof-of-concept exploits, and testing can trace attack paths across connected apps, APIs, back ends, and repositories. Analysis combines static, dynamic, runtime, and behavioral methods with dependency and source-repository scanning. Mobile testing supports Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS; scan inputs include Android APK, XAPK, and AAB files, non-encrypted iOS IPA files, and store or TestFlight scans. Integrations include GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, and SAML SSO. The free Community plan includes unlimited mobile app scans, attack-surface discovery, remediation, and ticketing. AppSec Web/API costs $299 a month billed yearly; AppSec Mobile is $599 a month billed annually. Both list 20 AI Security Credits per month. Routine workspace testing continues after credits run out, but advanced AI actions need more credits.
