Acunetix
A web vulnerability scanner sold as a lighter-weight, per-site-priced sibling to Invicti under the same Invicti Security parent company — the two brands trace back to a 2017-2018 merger of the previously independent Acunetix and Netsparker, and both are still sold as separate, actively developed products.
