Penetration testing runs roughly $4,000 to $50,000 (USD) in 2026, but that band tells you almost nothing on its own. The price of a pentest is driven by what you are testing, how large the scope is, how deep the testing goes, and which compliance framework the report has to satisfy. The calculator above turns those inputs into an indicative range; the sections below explain how it lands on a number and where CyberOrbit's fixed prices sit against the traditional market.
Different asset types carry different price tags, because each needs different tooling and tester hours. These are typical traditional-vendor ranges from our 2026 penetration testing cost guide, not quotes:
| Scope | Typical market range (USD) |
|---|---|
| Web application | $4,000 to $25,000 |
| API | $5,000 to $20,000 |
| Mobile application | $8,000 to $25,000 |
| Cloud / network / infrastructure | $10,000 to $30,000 |
| IoT / hardware | Custom scoped (per device model) |
IoT is deliberately not given a fixed band. Each device model is effectively its own engagement: firmware, the device, the companion app and the cloud API each add a full testing surface, so testing three models costs far more than testing one. We quote it after a scoping call rather than from an average that would mislead you.
Instead of an hourly quote that drifts, CyberOrbit prices the report. All prices are in Australian dollars, excluding GST:

Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) replaces the once-a-year engagement with a subscription: continuous monitoring of your targets plus signed reports on a set cadence, billed monthly instead of as a lump sum. It suits teams who need audit evidence on a schedule rather than a single point-in-time test. CyberOrbit PTaaS starts at $1,499/mo (Pro) and $2,999/mo (Scale), with Enterprise scoped to request.
CyberOrbit is an Australian-based provider and quotes in Australian dollars, so there is no currency conversion or offshore-vendor guesswork in your budget. Reports cross-reference the Essential Eight alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, which matters if you are selling into Australian government or enterprise buyers who ask about Essential Eight maturity. On pentest rates specifically: rather than publishing a day rate that balloons with scope, we quote a fixed price for the report so you know the number before testing starts. A single on-demand report is $7,999 AUD ex GST; ongoing coverage starts at $1,499/mo.
Traditional web application tests run about $4,000 to $25,000 (USD), and most SaaS teams testing for SOC 2 pay $4,000 to $8,000 (USD) for a single scoped app. CyberOrbit's fixed on-demand report is $7,999 AUD ex GST, delivered within 48 hours of scope sign-off, with SOC 2 cross-references included. Your final price is fixed after a short scoping call.
API tests typically run $5,000 to $20,000 (USD), scaling with endpoint count and authentication complexity; around 50 endpoints usually sits toward the lower half of that range. CyberOrbit's fixed on-demand report ($7,999 AUD ex GST) covers up to 50 endpoints. We confirm the exact scope and price before testing.
A Kubernetes microservices estate plus its public APIs spans web, API and cloud scope, so it lands across those bands (roughly $5,000 to $30,000 (USD) depending on how many services and endpoints are in scope). Because service and endpoint counts vary widely, this is best scoped directly. Book a scoping call and we quote a fixed price.
IoT does not have a single fixed band, because each device model is effectively its own engagement: firmware, the device, the companion app and the cloud API each add a full testing surface. Three models is roughly three engagements' worth of surface, so this is scoped and quoted per model rather than from an average. Talk to us with your device details for a fixed quote.
Yes, the tool at the top of this page. Pick your scope, rough size and compliance driver and it returns an indicative market range plus CyberOrbit's fixed-price package. It is an estimate to frame budgets, not a quote; the final price is fixed after scoping.
PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) is billed as a subscription rather than a one-off. CyberOrbit PTaaS starts at $1,499/mo (Pro) and $2,999/mo (Scale), each including signed reports on a set cadence plus continuous monitoring, with Enterprise scoped to request.
CyberOrbit is Australian-based and quotes in AUD. A single on-demand report is $7,999 AUD ex GST, and continuous PTaaS coverage starts at $1,499/mo. Reports map to the Essential Eight as well as SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. Rather than a day rate that grows with scope, we quote a fixed price for the report.
Market ranges on this page are indicative traditional-vendor pricing, US-sourced and shown in USD, drawn from our published 2026 cost guide; they are not a quote. CyberOrbit package prices are fixed and in AUD excluding GST, so the market ranges and our prices are not a like-for-like comparison without currency conversion. Your final price is confirmed after a short scoping call.
