Pay Per Pentest
How the pay-per-pentest base tier works, including the automatic refund for empty or errored pentests.
Current Model
Pay per pentest is the base tier. There is no subscription — you pay $19 each time you start a pentest. It uses the same self-hosted capacity as the old Solo plan: 1 runner, 1 concurrent pentest, 3 active targets, and the Quick Check, Launch Review, and Full Pentest presets.
Automatic Refunds
Each pentest is fully refunded automatically if it finds zero findings or errors out. You only pay for pentests that complete and surface at least one finding.
How It Is Billed
Use Settings -> Billing to manage payment methods. Stripe charges $19 per pentest at start and processes the refund back to your original payment method when a pentest qualifies. Launch, Team, Partner, and Enterprise subscriptions include unlimited scans instead of per-pentest charges.
Legacy PAYG Records
Historical invoices, transactions, and retest records from the retired APVISO-hosted execution model may still appear for older scans. They are retained for accounting and audit continuity.
Usage Responsibility
BYOK model spend is billed by your provider and runner infrastructure costs stay in your environment. The $19 per-pentest charge covers the APVISO control plane and pentest orchestration only.
