Detectify is a deep attack-surface and web-app vulnerability platform for security teams. Amabrik is a lighter, precise website security scan: it flags common config mistakes and hands you a copy-paste AI fix for each one, included with every plan.
A light, precise config-mistake check with AI fixes, inside a website toolkit, not deep attack-surface or web-app vulnerability scanning.
Amabrik's Security scan flags common, high-confidence mistakes: leaked API keys, open databases, exposed .env files, missing security headers. It doesn't fire exploit payloads, crawl your app, or discover your attack surface. That's Detectify's job, and Detectify does it far more thoroughly. Amabrik's value is a quick, accurate pass on the things that catch out most small sites.
Each issue comes with a copy-paste prompt you drop into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to fix it. No security background needed. The scan is report-only, so it reads your site and never changes or breaks it.
Amabrik only reports findings it's confident about. Public API keys aren't flagged as leaks, and a parked SPA HTML page isn't called an exposed file. A fake critical erodes trust, so the scan stays conservative on purpose.
The Security scan and the SEO/AEO scan ship with every Amabrik plan at no extra charge. Detectify prices per asset and per product (Surface Monitoring, Application Scanning and API Scanning are billed separately), with a minimum invoice order noted on its pricing page.
Amabrik scans on demand on a verified domain, within per-plan limits. It isn't continuous monitoring, asset discovery or DAST. Detectify monitors your attack surface around the clock, which is a different, enterprise category. For most sites, a quick on-demand check after each change is the right fit, and that's where Amabrik is the better choice.
Reviewers say Detectify expects a security-literate operator and complex setup. Amabrik assumes none of that. Verify your domain, run the scan, read findings in plain English, paste the fix. It works on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom and AI-built sites.
Every row is a concrete fact. Detectify figures verified as of June 2026.

Not a forever-free public scanner. Amabrik's Security scan is included with every paid plan at no extra charge, and you can run it during the 7-day free trial with no card. It needs an Amabrik account and a verified domain, and per-plan scan limits apply. Detectify offers a 14-day trial but no permanent free plan.
They do different jobs, and we won't pretend otherwise. Detectify is professional External Attack Surface Management and deep web-app vulnerability scanning with crowdsourced research and continuous monitoring, a different, enterprise category. Amabrik's Security scan is a light, report-only check of the common config mistakes that catch out most small sites, with a paste-ready AI fix per finding, included in every plan. For the quick, fixable check most sites actually need, Amabrik is the better choice.
It flags common, high-confidence mistakes: leaked API keys, open databases, exposed .env files, and missing security headers. Each finding comes with a copy-paste AI fix prompt. It does not discover assets, crawl your app, or fire exploit payloads, so it is not DAST or EASM.
For a small site, yes, because Amabrik's scans are included in a flat plan from $29/mo (1 site). Detectify prices per asset and per product (from EUR 90/mo per domain, EUR 302/mo for Surface Monitoring) with a minimum invoice order of $1,650 / EUR 1,500. But they're different products: Detectify's price buys far deeper, continuous scanning.
Pick Amabrik if you want a quick, plain-English check of common mistakes with a paste-ready AI fix per issue, no security expertise needed, included inside a website toolkit. Detectify adds attack-surface discovery, continuous monitoring, and deep web-app or API vulnerability scanning, which is a different, enterprise category for security teams. For most sites, the fast and fixable check is what matters, and Amabrik is the better choice there.
No. Amabrik's Security scan is read-only and report-only. It reads your site and lists findings, it never changes anything or runs payloads against your application, so it can't take your site down.
It reports only high-confidence findings on purpose. Public API keys aren't flagged as leaks, and a single-page-app HTML page isn't reported as an exposed file. A fake critical erodes trust, so the scan stays conservative. Detectify reviewers do report recurring false positives, though Detectify's confirmed findings are deep and verified.
No. Verify your domain, run the scan, read the findings in plain English, then paste the AI fix prompt into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Detectify is built for a security-literate operator and reviewers note complex setup.
Any site: WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom builds, and AI-built sites from Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor and Framer. You add and verify the domain, then run the scan from your dashboard.
Every plan includes 10 widgets (cookie consent, banner, popup, forms, AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, chat button) plus a second scanner, the SEO/AEO scan, which returns an SEO score and an AEO (AI-search visibility) score with a paste-ready AI fix per finding. No Powered-by badge on any plan.
There's nothing to migrate in the usual sense, because the products do different things. EASM and deep vulnerability scanning are a different, enterprise category. If you wanted a fast, fixable check of common mistakes, sign up for Amabrik, add and verify your domain, and run the Security scan during the free trial.
