HackerOne Pentest Pricing in 2026

HackerOne publishes no price for its pentests. The H1 Pentest page offers “Speak with a Security Expert” and no figure, and hackerone.com/pricing redirects to the platform overview rather than a price list. What HackerOne does publish is the shape of the product: two pentest offerings sold as Pentest as a Service, scoped per engagement, with retesting of fixes.

Where HackerOne sits: PTaaS with no price signal

HackerOne positions H1 Pentest against “traditional models tied to fixed schedules”, which puts it on the PTaaS side of our PTaaS vs traditional consulting split. With no published figure, the only way to judge a HackerOne quote is against something you can price yourself: our average cost by test type and the published prices from other platforms.

Synack publishes package starting prices from $4,181, Bugcrowd sells standard pentest units from $5,000 on AWS Marketplace, and Cobalt publishes its credit unit (8 hours) and a $3,500 Autonomous Pentest price.

Questions buyers ask

Does HackerOne publish pentest pricing?

No. The H1 Pentest product page carries no price and routes buyers to 'Get Started' and 'Speak with a Security Expert'. The address hackerone.com/pricing does not lead to a pricing page; on 1 October 2026 it redirected to HackerOne's platform overview, which also shows no price.

How does HackerOne sell pentesting?

As Pentest as a Service. HackerOne offers two pentest products, H1 Pentest and H1 Agentic Pentest. Scope is set at kickoff with HackerOne's Pentest Scoping Assistant, testing is matched to your assets, and findings are delivered live through the HackerOne platform. Each engagement is tailored to your assets, technologies and risk profile, so the price is set per scope rather than from a list.

What is H1 Agentic Pentest?

HackerOne describes it as built on the foundation of H1 Pentest, using a coordinated system of AI agents and human experts for reconnaissance, setup, exploitation and validation. HackerOne publishes no separate price for it.

Does a HackerOne pentest include retesting?

HackerOne says it provides retesting after vulnerabilities are remediated, to confirm the fixes were implemented correctly. It does not publish a retest window, a retest limit or a retest price, so ask for those terms in the quote.

Where can I find a published price for a comparable pentest?

Among the platform vendors we track, Synack publishes package starting prices from $4,181, Bugcrowd sells standard pentest units from $5,000 on its AWS Marketplace listing, and Astra lists pentest plans from $2,999 a year per target. Each is linked from our vendor comparison with its source.
