Overview

Beagle Security is an automated penetration-testing service for web applications, APIs and GraphQL. It is a strong fit for development teams that want authenticated testing and can schedule work within monthly run limits. Its broad test coverage and workflow integrations are useful; the main trade-off is that each full penetration-test run counts against a quota.

Key features

Automated testing identifies, validates and prioritizes vulnerabilities across more than 3,000 test cases, including OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 coverage. That makes it suitable for repeatable application checks, though teams with frequent testing needs should focus on run allowances rather than the size of the test library alone.

Teams can record complex login flows and points of interest, so tests can cover functionality behind authentication and specific application behavior. Reports can include contextual recommendations and export as PDF, JSON, XML or CSV, supporting both review by people and downstream processing.

CI/CD options include Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure Pipelines. Findings can connect to Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Trello. The Web API supports programmatic project and application management, test control and result retrieval, a useful combination for teams that automate security tasks.

Compliance-mapped penetration reports cover HIPAA and PCI DSS. Beagle Security says it is ISO 27001 compliant and uses encryption, role-based access and real-time security monitoring; its trust page states a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Pricing

Tests are counted per penetration-test run, and plans do not cap the number of targets. That distinction favors teams testing many targets in a small number of runs, but does not expand the monthly run allowance.

Plan	Price and allowance	Best suited to
Free	0.00 USD per free; 1 lite test/month, monthly surface scan reports, and SSL and domain expiry monitoring.	Individuals or teams evaluating basic recurring coverage; one lite test a month is limiting for active release schedules.
Essential	99.00 USD per month, billed Billed $1188 annually; 2 tests/month, 1 concurrent test and 5 team members.	Small teams with occasional scheduled testing. The two-run quota and single concurrent test leave little room for parallel work.
Advanced	299.00 USD per month, billed Billed $3588 annually; 15 tests/month, 4 concurrent tests and 15 team members.	Teams that need more frequent runs and parallel testing. It raises both capacity and team access, at a substantially higher monthly cost.
Enterprise	Custom pricing; custom tests/month, concurrent tests and team members.	Organizations that need tailored capacity. Priority support, a dedicated customer success manager and concierge onboarding are included.

A 14-day trial is available. The free plan offers ongoing limited coverage, while paid plans begin at 99.00 USD per month on an annual billing term.

Platforms

Beagle Security supports API and web platforms, with authenticated, API and browser-based scanning. Its hybrid deployment model and CI/CD integrations suit teams that want testing connected to application delivery workflows.

Who it's for

Choose Beagle Security if your team needs recurring web or API penetration testing, including authenticated flows, and can match its run quotas to your release cadence. It is less suitable if you need unrestricted frequent testing on a low-cost plan: Essential allows only two runs per month, while the larger allowance requires Advanced.

Pros and cons

Pros: More than 3,000 test cases with OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 coverage provide a broad baseline.
Pros: Recorded login flows and points of interest let teams target authenticated application behavior.
Pros: Multiple report formats, CI/CD and result integrations, and a Web API support different review and automation workflows.
Cons: The Essential plan's two monthly runs and one concurrent test constrain teams that test often or in parallel.
Cons: Advanced costs 299.00 USD per month, and Enterprise uses custom pricing, so higher-volume capacity comes at a greater or individually priced commitment.

Verdict

Beagle Security is the better choice for teams that want configurable authenticated penetration tests, broad vulnerability coverage and integrations with development and issue-tracking workflows. Its monthly run quotas are the deciding constraint: choose it when those allowances match your cadence, and look elsewhere if frequent parallel testing must fit a lower-cost plan.
