PurpleTeam
PurpleTeam is a command-line tool and service for dynamic application security testing of web applications and APIs. The maker describes it as language agnostic. Listed targets include authenticated applications, single-page applications, TLS/SSL deployments, server configurations, server-side HTML, GraphQL APIs, and REST APIs; supported API formats include OpenAPI, SOAP, and GraphQL. The CLI runs headlessly in build pipelines, with scans scheduled on commit, push, nightly, or on demand. Results identify defect locations, provide remediation guidance and reproduction instructions, and suggest ways to find similar issues. Attack strength and alert thresholds are adjustable, including thresholds for existing defects that should not fail a run. A CLI process can run without specific integrations. Documentation describes local OWASP and cloud BinaryMist environments, with cloud onboarding by contacting the maker. Community is free, hosted locally, and includes unlimited scans, unlimited targets, and 12 concurrent test sessions. Standard costs $85 a month on annual billing; Pro costs $185 a month on annual billing. Monthly prices shown are $110 and $240. A 14-day trial is available.
