HostedScan is a paid product with a free trial, 14 days long. The free plan includes 14-day free trial access to HostedScan Basic features and 5 targets included during the trial.
About
HostedScan is a vulnerability scanning platform for websites, servers, networks, and APIs. It combines multiple scanners in one service, including Greenbone OpenVAS, Tenable Nessus, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Nuclei, and SSLyze, and adds scheduling, alerts, reporting, and vulnerability management.
The pricing page shows three paid plans with a 14-day free trial on Basic and Premium. Each plan includes 5 targets, unlimited scans per target, and support for scheduled scans, custom reporting, email alerts, integrations, and vulnerability tracking. Premium adds authenticated scans, internal network scanning, APIs and webhooks, and CSV export; Professional adds whitelabel reports, SAML SSO, access controls, and Tenable-based scanning.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a 14-day trial of the Basic plan, so its practical value is about 14/30 of Basic’s $39 monthly price, or roughly $18/month. It includes the core Basic experience but is time-limited and capped to the trial window, so it scores well below a permanent free tier and there’s no indication that a credit card is unnecessary.
