Decision threshold: at $199 (Starter) to $149 (Professional) per extra pentest, more than a couple of overage tests a month makes the next plan up cheaper.
About
In practice. What you can do with Maced AI.
Maced AI runs autonomous penetration tests across web apps, APIs, source code, infrastructure and cloud environments, producing audit-ready reports with proof-of-exploit evidence and CVSS ratings. It also generates merge-ready pull requests to fix what it finds and retests automatically to confirm the fix.
There's no permanent free tier, only a 5-minute demo scan: Starter is $249/month for 1 pentest, Professional $799/month for 5, with extra pentests billed per use. It fits a developer or small engineering team that wants recurring, automated security testing without hiring a dedicated pentest firm for every release.
Practical uses
ScopeRun an automated pentest on a web app or API before a release, and get a report with CVSS ratings and remediation steps.
FixMerge the auto-generated pull request for a found vulnerability and let Maced AI retest automatically to confirm the fix.

Pros and cons. What Maced AI does well, and what to expect.
Pros
Auto-generates merge-ready fix pull requests and retests automatically, not just a vulnerability list.
Covers web apps, APIs, code, infrastructure and cloud in one subscription instead of separate tools per surface.
Cons
No permanent free tier; the only free option is a one-off 5-minute demo scan.
Monthly pentest volume is capped on both plans, so frequent testing can trigger paid overage charges.
When it makes sense. Keep Maced AI, or challenge it?
Keep if
Keep if your team ships often enough to need recurring automated pentests and wants auto-generated fixes instead of a findings list alone.
Maced AI becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($249) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
Avoid if you need more than 1 (Starter) or 5 (Professional) pentests a month without paying per-test overage, or if a one-off audit is all you need.
Maced AI becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
Our verdict. What to know about Maced AI.
Why this verdict
Average
Added value
$249/month for recurring automated pentests plus auto-generated fixes is cheap next to hiring a human pentest firm for the same recurring scope.
Simplicity
A free 5-minute demo scan suggests a quick first result, but setting up continuous scanning across web apps, APIs, infra and cloud likely needs more than an hour of configuration; not detailed in the sources.
Fit for purpose
Delivers the stated pentest-to-report-to-fix pipeline, but monthly pentest volume is capped, so continuous full coverage may need paid overage.
Performance
Covers web apps, APIs, source code, infrastructure and cloud with CVE coverage and attack-path graphs, a wide scope for an automated pentest tool.
Reversibility
Neutral score: whether reports and findings can be exported in an open format if the team leaves Maced AI was not covered by the collected sources.
