SCRYPEX vs Intruder for small teams
Intruder is a vulnerability scanner with attack surface monitoring, priced as a base fee plus a fee per target, with a free plan. SCRYPEX is external attack surface and credential intelligence at a flat published price. They overlap on exposed services and differ on everything around them.
Choose Intruder if…
Choose Intruder if you want scheduled vulnerability scanning of known targets, including authenticated web app and API testing, cloud account checks and agent-based scanning of internal servers and employee devices (Pro). Its free plan runs weekly external scans for 5 web apps, and paid plans are billed as a base fee plus a small fee per target, with a 14-day trial of the Cloud features.
Choose SCRYPEX if…
Choose SCRYPEX if the problem is what you do not know you have: forgotten subdomains, exposed admin panels and files, lookalike domains, employee credentials in breach data and infostealer logs, and ransomware and dark-web signals, all at a flat $179 to $699 per month. SCRYPEX matches your technology inventory against CISA's exploited-vulnerability catalog and offers Deep Validation for authorized active checks; it is not an agent-based vulnerability scanner.

Frequently asked questions
Is SCRYPEX a vulnerability scanner?
Not in Intruder's sense. SCRYPEX discovers what you expose and matches it to known-exploited vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and leaked credentials, with authorized active validation as an add-on. If you need scheduled authenticated scans of applications and internal hosts, Intruder is built for that.
Can I use both?
Yes, and some teams do: Intruder for scanning the targets you know, SCRYPEX for finding the ones you do not and for the credential and impersonation signals a scanner cannot see.
What does the free SCRYPEX scan check?
DNS and email-authentication records, TLS, HTTP security headers, a few public pages, and a connect check on a short list of risky ports. It needs no email. Sensitive-file, admin-panel and credential monitoring run in the full assessment after signup.
