Frequently asked questions

Is Checkmarx primarily known for DAST?

No. Checkmarx built its reputation on SAST, with two decades of static analysis experience. DAST is one of nine engines inside the broader Checkmarx One platform, alongside SCA, IaC, and API security.

Checkmarx is a commercial, enterprise-grade Application Security (AppSec) platform and does not have a free, full-featured version. It primarily targets businesses with custom enterprise pricing. Beagle Security offers a 14 day free trial with no credit card required.

It depends on what you need from the platform. If your priority is dedicated, deep web and API penetration testing, Beagle Security is a strong fit, agentic AI driven testing with transparent pricing and faster setup than a module inside a nine engine platform.

Checkmarx DAST is quote based and licensed as one module among several, market estimates put it around $20,000 to $25,000 a year for a mid sized portfolio, before SAST, SCA, or other modules are added. Beagle Security publishes Essential and Advanced plan pricing directly on its site, with web and API pentesting included as one plan rather than a module priced and licensed separately. Confirm current figures on each provider's pricing page before quoting exact numbers, since enterprise pricing shifts often.
