All math runs in your browser. Each service starts from the typical market price for its smallest scope, anchored to Penetration Testing Cost in 2026: Pricing Guide and Tables and the cost answers in Stingrai's buyer guides, and the scoping answers add tester days on top. The scoping questions are the same ones Stingrai asks on its Get a Quote form, plus methodology and compliance driver.
| Service | Base (smallest scope) | Increments | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Application Pentest | US$7,500 | apps 2 to 3 at 75%, apps 4 or more at 40%; pages or endpoints per app: 51 to 100 +US$2,000, 101 to 250 +US$5,000, 251 to 500 +US$6,500, more than 500 +US$12,000 | Cost guide: web application tests run US$5,000 to US$30,000, driven by the number of roles, workflows and endpoints; web application services hub FAQ. The base is the standard-scope figure for one small application and its APIs; endpoint buckets add tester days. |
| Internal Network Pentest | US$7,000 | internal IPs: 51 to 250 +US$2,500, 251 to 500 +US$6,000, 501 to 1,000 +US$11,000, 1,001 to 5,000 +US$17,000, more than 5,000 +US$24,000 | Cost guide: network tests run US$5,000 to US$40,000; network services hub FAQ: live host count and subnet count drive the price, and PCI bundles of internal plus external testing land at US$12,000 to US$25,000. |
| External Network Pentest | US$5,000 | external IPs: 17 to 64 +US$1,500, 65 to 256 +US$3,500, 257 to 1,024 +US$7,000, more than 1,024 +US$11,000 | Cost guide: network tests run US$5,000 to US$40,000; external network scope and cost post: a small internet-facing range sits at the low end, and edge appliances, VPNs and exposed management planes add tester days as the address count grows. |
| Active Directory Security | US$11,000 | AD objects: 1,001 to 5,000 +US$3,000, 5,001 to 20,000 +US$7,000, more than 20,000 +US$12,000 | Active Directory services hub FAQ: published reference points of CAD$15,000 to CAD$40,000 per engagement and 750 to 1,800 pounds per tester day, with a single-forest engagement at eight to twelve tester days; domain and forest size, privileged population and certificate services drive the day count. |
| Wi-Fi Security | US$4,000 | each additional location at 75% | Network services hub: wireless testing of the radio estate on site is one of the four network test types; about two to three penetration tester days per location at the published day rate, including travel. |
| Physical Security | US$6,000 | each additional location at 75% | Red team services hub FAQ lists physical add-ons as a cost driver priced on penetration tester days; about four penetration tester days per location at the published day rate covers reconnaissance, the on-site attempt and reporting. |
| Phishing Campaign | US$6,000 | target users: 51 to 250 +US$1,500, 251 to 1,000 +US$3,000, 1,001 to 5,000 +US$5,000, more than 5,000 +US$7,500 | Social engineering services hub FAQ: cost is driven by tester time (waves, bespoke pretext development, MFA-bypass scenarios, languages), not mailbox count; the base is one bespoke wave at about four tester days, and larger target populations add waves and pretexts. |
| Red Teaming | US$25,000 | TI-led +US$5,000, each selection past the first +US$8,000; 4 weeks +US$10,000, 6+ weeks +US$20,000 | Red team cost post and red team services hub FAQ: quoted on penetration tester days; full exercises run 18,000 to 48,000 pounds over three to eight weeks, about US$23,000 to US$61,000 (EJN Labs, 2026), with scenario count, duration and threat-intelligence depth setting the day count. |
| Purple Teaming | US$6,000 | US$6,000 planning and reporting on top; each additional threat actor profile at 100%; techniques per actor: 11 to 25 +US$2,500, more than 25 +US$5,000 | Priced on penetration tester days at the published day rate (red team services hub FAQ): about four days of planning, detection review and reporting, plus about four days per threat actor profile, rising with the number of techniques emulated for each actor. |

The second platform of the same app is charged at 60% because the backend is shared. |
| Cloud Pentest | US$8,000 | each selection past the first +US$3,000; each selection past the first +US$2,000; penetration test +US$4,000, review and penetration test +US$8,000; each additional account at 60%; storage +US$1,000, containers +US$4,000, serverless +US$1,500, databases +US$1,500, network +US$1,500; undocumented +US$1,000 | Cost guide: cloud tests run US$10,000 to US$50,000; cloud services hub FAQ: a single-account configuration and IAM review sits near US$8,000 to US$15,000, a Kubernetes-inclusive scope runs US$18,000 to US$45,000, and multi-cloud estates go higher. Additional accounts are charged at 60%; each extra environment adds 25% of the account base, and missing architecture diagrams add discovery time. |
| AI / LLM Pentest | US$9,000 | ML model +US$2,000, training pipeline +US$4,000, agentic system +US$5,000; custom-trained +US$3,000, custom and foundation +US$3,000; RAG or tools +US$3,000; prompt and source access +US$2,000; endpoints or interfaces: 6 to 15 +US$3,000, 16 to 40 +US$6,000, more than 40 +US$10,000; undocumented +US$1,000 | AI/LLM cost drivers post: a chatbot, a RAG assistant and a tool-using agent are three different attack surfaces and quotes vary about 5x with retrieval access control, agent tool authorization, integrations and human depth; the base matches a standard web application test, and each surface adds tester days. |
| Enterprise annual program | US$80,000+ | none | Cost guide: enterprise annual programs bundling multiple assessment types run US$50,000 to US$150,000 and up; the figure is the standard-scope midpoint and replaces the individual service lines. |
| Methodology | Multiplier | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Black box | x1.05 | Up 5 percent: discovery and exploitation take longer without prior knowledge. |
| Grey box | x1 | Baseline. Limited credentials or documentation, the common default. |
| White box | x1.15 | Up 15 percent for source and architecture review time. |
| Driver | Uplift | Minimum | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 | +5% | US$5,000 | Evidence packaging: scoped to the trust-services boundary and written as audit evidence |
| ISO 27001 | +5% | US$5,000 | Evidence packaging: scope follows the ISMS boundary and the report is written as audit evidence |
| HIPAA | +10% | US$10,000 | Documentation rigor: ePHI systems and broader environment coverage, with findings mapped to the Security Rule |
| PCI DSS | +15% | US$12,000 | Segmentation testing: cardholder-data environment scope plus segmentation checks and retest evidence for the assessor |
| FedRAMP | +30% | US$15,000 | Documentation rigor: government baseline with extensive documentation, control mapping and retest evidence |
Stingrai's own prices are not produced by this model. They are fixed for exactly one web application and its APIs, published on the pricing page, and every other scope is quoted through the Get a Quote form.
A penetration test costs roughly US$5,000 to US$150,000 or more in 2026, and most standard engagements land between US$5,000 and US$50,000. A standard web application test runs about US$5,000 to US$30,000, a network test about US$5,000 to US$40,000, an API test about US$6,000 to US$30,000, a mobile application test about US$7,000 to US$35,000 per platform, and a cloud test about US$10,000 to US$50,000. Enterprise annual programs run US$50,000 to US$150,000 and up. Stingrai publishes fixed prices for exactly one web application and its APIs: Autonomous Pentest at US$3,000 per assessment or US$450 per month, and Hybrid Pentest at US$6,800 per assessment or US$1,275 per month for 12 months of continuous testing. Every other scope gets a custom quote.
Scope, depth, and compliance mandate set the number. Scope is the count of applications, pages and endpoints, mobile platforms, IP addresses, Active Directory objects, locations, employees, cloud accounts and AI interfaces in the test, which is why this calculator asks the same scoping questions as Stingrai's Get a Quote form, plus methodology and compliance driver. Depth is the methodology: grey box is the common default, black box spends more time on discovery, and white box adds source review. Compliance drivers such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FedRAMP raise the price because they require specific coverage, documentation, and retest evidence. Testing frequency matters too: a 12-month continuous program typically costs 1.5 to 2.5 times a one-time test. Vendor brand and location also move the price, which is why the estimate is shown with a typical range around it.

It depends on what the price buys. A low price that reflects an automated scan with a templated report will not find business-logic, authorization, or chained vulnerabilities, and will not satisfy an auditor who expects evidence of real testing. A low price that reflects a narrower scope or a more efficient delivery model can be excellent value. Compare quality per dollar within the model that fits your goal: ask who does the testing, what the methodology covers, whether findings come with proof-of-concept exploits and a retest, and whether the vendor stands behind the result. Stingrai's Autonomous Pentest, for example, is US$3,000 for one web application and its APIs with a No High or Critical Finding = Don't Pay guarantee.
