The Pro plan is designed for products that need security analysis and protection to continue as the product changes.
Free Plan
$0 Forever The Free plan provides basic security visibility at no cost. It allows users to run security scans, understand discovered security issues, review findings, and experience evidence-based security analysis within the available Free usage limits.
Free includes
- 1 Security Scan / Week
- Basic Security Discovery

The Free plan does not include the continuous protection capabilities available in Pro. $79 / Month The Pro plan is designed for products where security cannot be treated as a one-time task.
It connects deeper security analysis, continuous monitoring, evidence-based intelligence, remediation, verification, alerts, reporting, and GitHub Security into one system.
Security Analysis
The Pro plan includes:
- Advanced Security Discovery
- Continuous Monitoring
- Evidence-Based Intelligence

The following comparison reflects the current AURIX SHIELD pricing page. The difference between Free and Pro is not simply the number of scans. Pro changes the security workflow from security visibility toward continuous protection.
- Free
- Know what is exposed.
- Basic security visibility begins with understanding what exists.
- Pro
- Know what actually matters.
- Evidence, severity, detection history, and AURIX intelligence provide deeper security understanding.
- Continuous Protection
- Keep watching after the scan.
- Monitoring, change detection, verification, and alerts help users respond as their product changes.
Security Scanning
Free
Free includes: This provides a way to periodically inspect the security posture of a target. Pro includes: This allows users to run security scans whenever they need them instead of being limited to the Free weekly scan allowance. Free provides Basic Security Discovery. Pro provides Advanced Security Discovery.
The difference allows Pro users to work with deeper discovery capabilities as part of the broader security analysis workflow.
Security Analysis
Free
Free provides Basic Security Analysis. Pro provides Full Multi-Layer Security Analysis. This works together with the AURIX SHIELD Security Engine and its specialized scanning engines.
Findings Intelligence
Free
Free provides Limited Findings Intelligence. Pro provides Full Security Findings Intelligence and Evidence & Detection History. This allows Pro users to work with deeper context around detected security issues.
Ask AURIX AI
Free
Free provides Limited Ask AURIX AI access. Pro provides Full Ask AURIX AI, including: See the AURIX AI documentation for details about how AURIX AI works. Free provides: Pro provides:
Verification remains separate from simply changing a finding status. AURIX SHIELD uses verification workflows to determine whether the original detection remains present. Continuous monitoring is included in Pro. Monitoring allows AURIX SHIELD to continue tracking a target's security state beyond a single manual scan. Pro also includes:
- Automated Scheduled Scans
- Change Tracking
- Monitoring & Scan History
This is the main distinction between one-time security visibility and continuous security protection. Pro includes security alert capabilities. These include:
- Security Email Alerts
- Dedicated Critical Security Alerts
Alerts are designed to help users become aware of relevant security changes and critical security events. Pro includes: This provides a broader historical view of security activity compared with the more limited reporting and scan history available in Free. GitHub Security is included in Pro.
The GitHub Security system uses multiple specialized security engines:
- CodeQL
- Gitleaks
- Trivy
- OSV-Scanner
- AURIX Security Analyzer
These engines analyze different areas of repository security, including source code, secrets, dependencies, repository content, and custom security detections.
See the GitHub Security documentation for the complete technical explanation.

Pricing Philosophy

- A scan shows you what exists.
- Continuous protection keeps watching what changes.
