TruffleHog vs Burp Suite

Free tier available

From $475 per user/year (Professional)

Free CLI; the enterprise platform adds continuous monitoring and reporting, priced on request.

Professional is inexpensive for what it does; Enterprise is quote-based by scanning agents and applications.

Open-source CLI is free and fully functional including verification.

Community Edition is free but omits the scanner and rate-limits key tools.

• Live verification cuts false positives to near zero for supported providers.
• Free and easy to add as a pre-commit hook or CI step.
• Scans far beyond git — buckets, images, logs.

• The reference tool for manual application penetration testing — every security professional knows it.
• Exceptional scanner accuracy, particularly for injection classes.
• Professional Edition is remarkably good value at under $500 per year.

• No dashboard or workflow in the free CLI.
• Verification requires outbound network calls, which some environments block.
• Full-history scans on large repositories are slow.

• Community Edition is too limited for serious automated work.
• Requires security expertise; it is not a push-button product for developers.
• Enterprise licensing is a significant step up in cost.

Teams that want free, high-signal secret scanning in the pipeline today.

Security teams and penetration testers, plus enterprises needing scheduled authenticated scanning.
