Tenable.io WAS starts at $2,275/year. Shieldome delivers OWASP Top 10, dark web monitoring, cloud exposure, and AI remediation - starting at $30/month with instant signup.
Tenable.io WAS (Web Application Scanning) is a solid enterprise DAST tool from the makers of Nessus. It is part of the broader Tenable One exposure management platform. Powerful - but expensive, complex, and built for large security teams. Shieldome is built for developers and lean security teams who need immediate, actionable results without a six-figure budget.
Why teams choose Shieldome over Tenable WAS.
Tenable WAS starts at $2,275/year. Shieldome Pro is $600/year - the same budget covers 3.7 years of Shieldome.
Tenable requires a demo, contract, and platform onboarding. Shieldome scans your first site in 60 seconds.
Every Shieldome scan checks for stolen credentials and breach exposure. Tenable WAS focuses on DAST and does not include threat intelligence.
Shieldome Pro and Agency plans include branded PDF reports for clients. Tenable does not offer white-label reporting.
Every feature, side by side - no marketing spin.
