Seems amazing. Is this going to be an enterprise only product? Don't see a pricing page.

Hello motoxpro, the pricing page is accessible inside the product during the free trial.

Although, by nature, the security market is mostly enterprise, we do have plans for startups and SMB as well. Happy to have your feedback on our pricing btw, always something hard to get right.

The amount of newly created accounts under this post praising this product reeks of botting... edit: some of those comments have now disappeared. Make of that what you want.

Hello, although we know HN's rules, some of our users don't. They just tried to help without telling us.

I guess we can be proud that they are our users and wanted to help. There was no intent to break HN's rules. We apologize for that happening, and we have told them about the rules so it doesn't happen again.

Thanks! Is that something that you would ever consider putting on the main site, or adding some hints to show that that is possible once you sign up? Or maybe that you could share here?

I understand the potential market, however, as a startup, I probably wouldn't (and won't) sign up because I have been burned too many times when companies pivot to enterprise pricing only (i.e. Hasura) and it doesn't give me much confidence there would be a reason for you to continue supporting those plans since it's not the focus of the company based on not even having pricing on the home page.

Not a critique, just some feedback :)

I think you guys are on the right track and this is a problem we are struggling with at my client.

I’ll test it out with them and see what they think. I will say that we were originally exploring Bright, but we had to rely on telling them what APIs and endpoints to hit, and they wanted to embed an engineer with us to help us onboard their product.

We wanted something simple that we could pay money for, have it discover all of our endpoints, pentest, and return a report.

1) please move pricing onto main site 2) please consider deploying on Azure Marketplace

The fact you’re including GraphQL is a big positive too.

I know you're writing for a technical audience and not investors, but if you can't grab my attention without a wall of text, sorry, tldr.

The « Launch HN » posts, like this one, follow quite standard community guidelines that includes having a detailed description of how the product works to bring value to technical people from the HN community.

Of course, for investors, we would have written things differently, but we are not looking to raise money at the moment.

Hope that makes it more clear!

Thank you for the positive vibes.

We try to make our product as straightforward as possible. It’s a long journey for such technical topic but it gets better everyday.

And we listen to feedback. I’ll take a look at Azure Marketplace.
