Beagle Security vs Wapiti

Beagle Security is an agentic AI penetration-testing platform for web applications, APIs and GraphQL. It automates testing to identify, validate and prioritize vulnerabilities, with more than 3,000 test cases including OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 coverage. Users can record complex login flows and points of interest to test application functionality. Reports can include contextual recommendations and be downloaded as PDF, JSON, XML or CSV. CI/CD integrations include Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure Pipelines; Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Trello can receive results. The Web API supports project and application management, test control and result retrieval. Reports can be mapped to HIPAA and PCI DSS. The free plan costs nothing and includes one lite test per month, monthly surface scan reports, and SSL and domain expiry monitoring. Essential is $99 a month, billed annually at $1,188, with two tests per month, one concurrent test and five team members. Advanced is $299 a month, billed annually at $3,588.

Wapiti is a Python scanner that audits deployed websites and web applications for vulnerabilities. It crawls the application and sends payloads to links, forms, and scripts rather than inspecting source code. Listed checks cover SQL and XPath injection, cross-site scripting, file disclosure, command execution, XXE, SSRF, and open redirects. It can scan REST APIs using an OpenAPI (Swagger) file and supports authenticated scans through Basic, Digest, or NTLM authentication, login forms, imported browser cookies, or custom Python code. Users can configure scope, crawler limits, HTTP headers, and HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 proxies. Scans can be suspended and resumed using SQLite-backed sessions. Reports are available in HTML, XML, JSON, TXT, CSV, and Markdown. Wapiti is free and released under GNU GPL version 2; installation is offered with pip. The project lists Python 3.12, 3.13, or 3.14 as requirements and says Windows use can be done through WSL. Its README warns scans may disrupt targets or cause data loss and says the target owner's consent is required.
