Ostorlab vs Oversecured: Mobile App Security Testing Compared

Quick answer: Ostorlab and Oversecured both test mobile apps with AI agents and attach proof to the issues they confirm. Oversecured scans Android builds and needs Swift source code for iOS. Ostorlab scans the Android, iOS and HarmonyOS builds you ship, or the app straight from Google Play, the App Store or AppGallery. It also tests the web apps, APIs and repositories behind the app on the same platform, and offers a free Community plan with unlimited mobile app scans.

The sharpest difference is iOS: Oversecured needs Swift source code, while Ostorlab scans the IPA you ship. Ostorlab also follows the app into its backend APIs and code. Oversecured combines static (SAST), dynamic (DAST) and interactive (IAST) analysis with an AI agent that writes and validates exploits on an emulator. Ostorlab's Agentic Deep Scan logs in, gets past TLS pinning and obfuscation, and backs each finding the AI agents confirm with a working exploit.

• Choose Oversecured if your team can share iOS source code with the vendor.
• Choose Ostorlab when you want to scan the iOS, Android or HarmonyOS build you ship, or the app straight from the stores, or need the app, its APIs and its code tested together.

Ostorlab at a glance

• What it is: Ostorlab is an application security testing platform for mobile apps (Android, iOS and HarmonyOS), web apps, APIs and source code.
• Best for: Mobile teams that want each finding proven with a working exploit, on the build they ship, together with the APIs and code behind the app.
• Store scanning: Search an Android, iOS or HarmonyOS app on Google Play, the App Store or AppGallery and scan it directly, no upload needed. Monitoring rules start a new scan each time a new version is released.
• Mobile testing: Static, dynamic, runtime and behavioral analysis; authenticated testing with login, one-time codes and multi-factor; protections tested on physical devices.
• Key differentiator: When the app runs in a scan, every finding Ostorlab's AI agents confirm comes with a working exploit, severity, impact and evidence.
• Deployment: SaaS with data residency in the US, EU, GCC or APAC, or on-premises (Enterprise).
• Pricing: A free Community plan with unlimited mobile app scans; AI Pentest from $499; AppSec mobile at $599 per app per month, billed yearly. See plans.

What each tool is best at

Oversecured

Oversecured describes itself as an "agentic offensive security platform for mobile apps". Its static analysis decompiles Android apps and covers 175+ Android and 85+ iOS vulnerability types.

Its dynamic analysis runs the app in a controlled environment, fuzzes deep links, exported components and inter-app communication, and records the device screen. Oversecured states that "every DAST finding includes a proof of concept and a stack trace", and its AI agent "runs in parallel on its own emulator… writing exploits, and validating them". Its IAST scans logged-in areas with a username, phone number, TOTP or custom login steps.

For iOS, Oversecured analyzes Swift source code: its homepage says "For iOS - source code required." Oversecured maps findings to a long list of standards, including OWASP MASVS, the OWASP Mobile Top 10, PCI DSS v4, DORA and HIPAA.

Best fit: Oversecured is best for mobile teams that can provide iOS source code and want static, dynamic and interactive (IAST) analysis with proof of concept.

Ostorlab

Ostorlab is an application security testing platform for mobile apps, web apps, APIs and source code. For mobile, Agentic Deep Scan tests the build you ship: it logs in, including one-time codes and multi-factor, gets past TLS pinning and obfuscation, and follows the app into the backend APIs to look for business-logic flaws such as broken access checks. Each finding the AI agents confirm comes with a working exploit you can replay.

Ostorlab scans the Android, iOS and HarmonyOS builds you ship, with no source code needed, or the app straight from the stores. Mobile Shielding Scan tests runtime protections such as root and jailbreak detection on physical devices and reports which ones held. A multi-asset scan adds the web apps, APIs and repositories behind the app to the same scan.

Best fit: Ostorlab is best for mobile teams that ship iOS and Android builds without sharing source code, and for teams whose risk runs from the app into its APIs and code. Teams can start on the free Community plan, with unlimited mobile app scans.

Key differences

iOS without source code

This is the clearest difference. Oversecured's iOS analysis needs Swift source code, and we found no mention of IPA scanning or iOS dynamic testing on its site. Ostorlab scans the iOS build itself, so security teams can test an app from a vendor, an agency or the App Store without access to its repository.

Proof attached to each finding

Both tools go beyond a list of possible issues. Oversecured attaches a proof of concept, a stack trace and a screen recording to its dynamic findings. Ostorlab attaches a working exploit, severity, impact and evidence to each finding its AI agents confirm. When you compare them, compare the proof each one produces on your own app, not the claim.

App only, or app, APIs and code

Oversecured is focused on the mobile app, with API scanning on its Business and Enterprise plans. Ostorlab also tests web apps, APIs and source code, and can put them in one scan with the mobile app, so a token found in the app and accepted by an API shows up as one path, not as separate findings.

Integrations and deployment

Oversecured offers a CLI, a REST API and an MCP server on all plans. CI/CD integrations, Slack and Jira webhooks, and SSO are on the Business and Enterprise plans, and its documentation says the CLI is in beta. Ostorlab integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, CircleCI, Jira and Slack, and has its own MCP server. Both offer on-premises deployment on their Enterprise plans.

Pricing

Oversecured's pricing lists a Hacker plan at $500 per scan, a Business plan at $1,000 per app per month, and a custom Enterprise plan. It offers a free trial and a 5-week pilot of Oversecured 2.0. Ostorlab's plans start with a free Community plan with unlimited mobile app scans, AI Pentest from $499 per assessment, and AppSec mobile at $599 per app per month billed yearly ($653 billed monthly).

Which one should you choose?

• Choose Oversecured if you can share iOS source code and want its Android rules and its mapping to standards such as OWASP MASVS.
• Choose Ostorlab if you need to test iOS builds and have no source code to share, test HarmonyOS apps, or want the app, its backend APIs and its code tested together, with a working exploit for each confirmed finding. You can start free, with unlimited mobile app scans on the Community plan.
