The short version
Warin vs Burp Suite: the bottom line
Burp scans what you already know; Warin finds it first, then scans it. Warin adds discovery, network scanning, breach monitoring, and plain-English fixes at $49–$99/month — no security team or self-hosting required.
Burp Suite DAST is an elite scanning engine for security teams who already know exactly which applications to test. The catch is that it assumes you already know your full attack surface — here's how that compares to Warin:
- Discovery is included in Warin — Burp Suite has none, so you can only scan apps you manually add.
- Network scanning, SSL/TLS, and breach monitoring are built into Warin; Burp Suite is web DAST only.
- Flat $49–$99/month, fully hosted vs Burp's quote-based, often self-hosted, security-team setup.

Why teams choose Warin
Where Warin comes out ahead
Discovery — the thing Burp doesn't do
Warin automatically finds your domains, subdomains, and exposed services. Burp Suite has no discovery: you can only scan applications you've manually defined, so anything you've forgotten stays invisible. For a startup, that gap is the whole ballgame.
Network scanning included
Warin maps open ports and exposed services across your public IPs. Burp Suite is web application DAST only — it doesn't scan your network.
Email breach monitoring built in
Warin watches your team's credentials across breach databases and the dark web. Burp Suite has no breach or credential monitoring.
Fixes anyone can follow
Warin writes step-by-step remediation for every finding. Burp points to standard security documentation — fine for a pentester, hard for a founder.
SSL/TLS monitoring
Warin tracks cipher suites, protocol versions, HSTS, and certificate expiry. TLS configuration isn't a Burp Suite focus.
Hosted, simple, no security team
Warin is fully hosted and starts in minutes. Burp Suite DAST is quote-priced, often self-hosted, and built to be configured and interpreted by a security team.

- Burp Suite DAST Custom quote Priced by number of concurrent scanning agents

A fair look
Where Burp Suite might be the better fit
Burp Suite is backed by PortSwigger's world-class web-security research. We'd point you to Burp if:
- You have a security team and a known app list. Burp shines when specialists drive it against a curated set of applications they already manage.
- You need deep DAST customization. Granular crawl/scan configuration and complex authenticated login flows are a Burp strength.
- Out-of-band (OAST) testing matters. Burp's out-of-band testing detects vulnerability classes many scanners miss entirely.
- You're scaling DAST across a large app estate. Bulk-configuring hundreds or thousands of apps with deep CI/CD integration is what Burp Suite DAST is built for.
Common questions
Warin vs Burp Suite: FAQ
For startups without a security team, yes. Warin discovers your internet-facing assets and then scans them, adds network scanning, SSL/TLS, and breach monitoring, and explains every fix in plain English — at a flat price. Burp Suite is an elite DAST engine but has no discovery, no network scanning, and assumes a security team to operate it. For deep, specialist-driven DAST on a known app list, Burp remains excellent.
No. Burp Suite DAST has no asset or subdomain discovery — every application must be manually defined, so it can only scan what you tell it about. Warin performs continuous discovery of domains, subdomains, and exposed services on every plan, then scans what it finds.
Burp Suite is a powerful web application DAST tool for security teams who already know which applications to scan. Warin is an all-in-one external attack surface monitor for startups: it discovers assets, scans web and network, monitors SSL/TLS and credentials, and guides remediation — without a security team.
PortSwigger doesn't publish Burp Suite DAST pricing; it's a custom quote based on scan capacity (concurrent scanning agents) and is often self-hosted. Warin is a flat $49/month (Starter) or $99/month (Pro), fully hosted, with every feature included.
Yes. PortSwigger renamed Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to 'Burp Suite DAST' in April 2025. It is the automated, scalable scanning platform, distinct from Burp Suite Professional (the manual pentester's toolkit).
