Where Intruder wins

Intruder does some things well - especially for compliance-driven teams.

Compliance-first design

Built-in mapping to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. Good for teams that need audit-ready reports.

Simple onboarding

Clean UI with guided setup. Easy for teams without dedicated security engineers.

Enterprise features

SSO, team roles, integrations with Jira/Slack, and managed perimeter monitoring in higher tiers.

Where ScanRub wins

More depth, better methodology, lower cost.

Free tier

Start scanning at zero cost. No credit card required, no trial countdown - a genuine free plan.

21 vulnerability classes

Covers everything from SSRF and IDOR to request smuggling and race conditions - far beyond standard compliance checks.

Research-backed detection

182 playbooks derived from real HackerOne disclosures. Detection strategies reflect how bugs are actually found.

AI validation gate

False positives are filtered by an LLM before they reach your report - saving triage time.

Transparent methodology

Every finding explains what was tested, how it was detected, and why it matters - not just a severity label.

Adaptive multi-stage pipeline

25 tools orchestrated in sequence, with later stages informed by earlier findings. Not a single-pass scan.
