Invicti alternatives
13 other tools do this job. Which one is right depends on why Invicti is not working for you — so start from the reason, not the list.
Why teams leave Invicti
- Expensive relative to free DAST alternatives.
- Scans take time and are not suited to per-commit feedback.
- Dynamic testing alone cannot find everything a code review would.
Worth saying: Invicti is genuinely strong at this — proof-based scanning eliminates most false-positive triage, which is the main cost of dast. If that is the part you rely on, switching may cost more than it saves.
If cost is the problem
Cheaper than Invicti at the entry point, or free outright.
