Nuclei vs ScanTitan

Nuclei is a free, open-source vulnerability scanner for applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, and networks. It uses YAML templates to define checks, drawing on more than 6,500 community-contributed templates; users can also create custom templates. Bulk and parallel scans, multiple target formats, and inclusion and exclusion filters are supported. Modules cover HTTP, DNS, TCP, headless, JavaScript, code, and file scanning, and authentication options include HTTP basic authentication and JWT. Nuclei can run in CI/CD pipelines, including through GitHub Actions, and export SARIF results to GitHub Code Scanning. It is distributed under the MIT License and is primarily a standalone CLI tool, with installation options including Go, Homebrew, Docker, GitHub, downloadable binaries, and Helm. It is actively developed, but has no LTS or stable version, so updates may bring breaking changes. Some templates can fuzz or take actions that risk denial of service; these are tagged and excluded from default scans. The tool is intended for security engineers, analysts, red teams, DevOps teams, bug bounty hunters, and penetration testers.

ScanTitan is a cloud-based vulnerability scanning and attack-surface platform with malware detection and removal. Its network scanner discovers live hosts, identifies services on open ports, and checks software versions against a database of more than 100,000 CVEs. Coverage includes known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, weak or default credentials, network devices, SSL/TLS, and end-of-life services. Confirmed findings come with reproducible request-and-response evidence and CVSS and EPSS prioritization. Reports can be exported as PDF, JSON, or HTML, and compliance exports map to PCI DSS 11.3, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA. Integrations include Slack alerts, Jira tickets, AWS, Azure and GCP coverage, SIEM export, REST API, and JSON webhooks. ScanTitan says it scans only customer-specified external-facing assets, not internal infrastructure or employee devices. A free plan has no credit card requirement or trial expiry; Professional costs $119 a year, billed yearly. It is available via web and API, and lists Windows Server as a supported operating system.
