Perimetry Cloud vs Intruder
Intruder scans your infrastructure, web applications, APIs, cloud accounts and containers for vulnerabilities, with internal scanning on its higher plans; Perimetry Cloud audits what your domains expose from public data, without scanning them, with public prices from a free plan.
Perimetry Cloud and Intruder side by side
| What | Perimetry Cloud | Intruder |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Passive audit: public DNS, certificate logs, the pages your servers already serve to anyone, public data sets. Nothing is attacked | Vulnerability scanning: external infrastructure, web applications and APIs (authenticated), cloud accounts, container images; internal targets on Pro and Enterprise |
| Scanners | The Perimetry open-source scanner (AGPL-3.0), 45 checks; known vulnerabilities of exposed services read from public data | Nuclei, OpenVAS and Tenable, depending on the plan |
| Free plan | Free plan: 1 domain, one full audit a month, no card | Free: monthly network scans, monitoring of ports 80 and 443, 3 users; a 14-day trial with the Cloud plan features and 5 licences |
| Paid plans | Public prices: Solo €19, Agency €79, Agency Plus €199 a month, excluding VAT; every plan runs the same 45 checks | Cloud and Pro: a base fee plus a fee per target; Enterprise on quote. Monthly or yearly (yearly saves 20%), excluding VAT |
| How often | Audits monthly (Free), weekly (Solo), daily (Agency plans); certificate logs read up to every hour | Network scans monthly (Free), weekly (Cloud, Pro), daily (Enterprise); cloud checks daily from Cloud |
| Cloud accounts and containers | Not covered | 1, 3 or 10 cloud accounts by plan, unlimited on Enterprise; container image scanning |
| Web applications | Not in the plans. Our verified active scan, on your signed authorization, is coming soon | Authenticated web application and API scanning |
| Team tools | Slack, Teams and webhooks from Solo; PagerDuty and tickets in GitHub, Jira or Linear from Agency | Slack, Teams, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear and more; single sign-on and access control by plan |

Key differences
- Scanning versus reading
- Intruder runs vulnerability scanners against your systems, including authenticated tests of applications and APIs, and internal servers on its higher plans. Perimetry Cloud does not scan your systems: it reads public sources and what your servers already show anyone.
- Breadth of what is covered
- Intruder covers cloud accounts, containers and internal networks, which Perimetry Cloud does not. Perimetry Cloud covers your domains in depth: e-mail authentication, DNS, certificates and their logs, domain expiry, look-alike domains, suppliers.
- How the price is built
- Intruder charges a base fee plus a fee per target on Cloud and Pro, and quotes Enterprise. Perimetry Cloud charges a plan with a number of domains, with the subdomains found audited with their domain, prices public.
- Agencies
- Perimetry Cloud's Agency plans add client workspaces, PDF reports with your logo and a monthly report to each client, for €79 a month and up.
Which one fits you
The two can also work together: they do not look at the same things.
Choose Intruder if
- You need to scan servers, cloud accounts, container images or internal networks for vulnerabilities.
- You want authenticated scans of your web applications and APIs today.
- Your team works from a scanner report for compliance audits and wants many integrations around it.
Choose Perimetry Cloud if
- Your exposure is mostly your domains: websites, e-mail, DNS, certificates, look-alikes, suppliers.
- You want nothing scanned on your systems, and every fix written out, ready to paste.
- You are an agency or a small business and want public prices, from a free plan, and an EU-hosted service in English, French or German.
Questions
- Is Perimetry Cloud an Intruder alternative?
- For monitoring what your domains expose, yes. For vulnerability scanning of servers, cloud accounts, containers or internal networks, no: Perimetry Cloud does not do it.
- Does Perimetry Cloud find known vulnerabilities (CVEs)?
- It reports known vulnerabilities on exposed services from public data sets, prioritised with the CISA list of exploited vulnerabilities and EPSS scores, without connecting to your services to test them. A scanner that connects can find more.
- Why are Intruder's prices not shown here?
- Its pricing page builds the price from a base fee and the number of targets; we did not find a fixed amount to quote. See its pricing page for your number of targets.
