Data Theorem Mobile Secure

Overview

Data Theorem Mobile Secure is a cloud application-security platform that analyzes iOS and Android apps and helps block runtime attacks. It is best suited to teams that want recurring release checks across their own code and third-party components, with findings developers can act on. Its testing and workflow coverage is broad, but custom pricing and a demo-led sales process are a hurdle for teams that want to evaluate or buy a tool on their own.

Key features

Mobile Secure combines static, dynamic, and behavioral runtime analysis on real iOS and Android devices for every release. That repeated coverage is more useful for ongoing development than a one-time scan: it examines code and binaries as well as app behavior. Data Theorem says its Analyzer Engine finishes analysis in minutes, which could fit a fast release cadence, though the product does not promise a particular turnaround time.

The platform assesses first-party code alongside third-party SDKs and open-source components, adding reachability and licensing context. That gives teams a basis for prioritizing dependency risks rather than treating every component finding alike. Findings are auto-triaged and can be sent to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email; remediation summaries and secure-code samples give developers a practical starting point for fixes.

CI/CD plugins and REST APIs connect the platform to release pipelines, and the product page names Jira, GitHub, Jenkins, and VS Code. This should suit teams that want security checks to sit within existing engineering workflows. Supported app frameworks include React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Cordova, and Unity, alongside native iOS and Android. One-click reports cover PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, while readiness checks target the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Mobile Protect adds runtime defenses including device integrity checks, a third-party code firewall, anti-fraud and bot defense, and app hardening with obfuscation. Those protections broaden the offering beyond finding vulnerabilities, but teams should distinguish this Mobile Protect capability from the release-analysis scope of Mobile Secure when evaluating what they need.

Pricing

Mobile Secure uses custom pricing, with a demo request as the route to a quote. The maker asks interested teams to request a demo and says its team will follow up to schedule next steps. That sales conversation may suit organizations assessing a broader security workflow, but it gives smaller teams no self-serve price comparison. No trial terms are published, so buyers should confirm evaluation access and commercial terms directly.

Platforms

The product supports iOS and Android apps, including native apps and those built with React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Cordova, or Unity. It can assess public apps from the Apple App Store and Google Play, staging builds, and apps distributed through third-party stores. Its cloud deployment model and pipeline integrations are oriented toward teams that can incorporate app security into release processes rather than relying only on a local tool.

Who it's for

Mobile Secure is a strong fit for organizations shipping mobile apps on a recurring schedule, especially those that need to review SDK and open-source exposure as well as first-party code. Its Manager, Security, and Developer roles support user and API-key management, finding triage, and review of assigned apps and remediation guidance. The breadth of framework support and compliance reporting is useful for teams with varied app portfolios or audit needs. It is less compelling for a buyer who needs a published price, a free tier, or a clearly stated trial before speaking with sales.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis runs on real devices for every release, providing a broader recurring check than a one-off scan.
• Pros: SDK and open-source findings include reachability and licensing context, helping teams focus review effort.
• Pros: Auto-triage, common communication channels, remediation guidance, and pipeline integrations connect findings to developer workflows.
• Pros: Framework coverage and reports spanning six compliance standards support varied mobile stacks and audit work.
• Cons: Custom pricing and a demo-first process make cost and evaluation less immediate for smaller teams.
• Cons: No trial terms or fixed scan-time commitment are stated, so buyers need to clarify evaluation and operational expectations.

Alternatives

Ostorlab is worth considering when a free entry point matters: its Community plan offers unlimited mobile app scans, attack surface discovery, and remediation and ticketing, while its AppSec Web/API plan is $299 a month billed billed year.

AppSweep is a better fit for teams focused on mobile scanning with no-cost access; its free plan includes unlimited Android and iOS scans, unlimited team members, static and interactive analysis, a CI CLI, OWASP MASVS alignment, and PDF findings reports.

SEBASTiAn is a free, open-source alternative for teams seeking a tool under an AGPL-3.0 license.

LinkedIn Databus is a free Apache 2.0 open-source option for readers whose needs center on its API, self-hosted, and web platform support.

Quixxi Scan may suit teams wanting one-off scans, with Android and iOS SAST or API scans priced at $29 per scan.

Quokka is another paid option for iOS and Android app vetting and security testing, with pricing not listed.

Silker AI Mobile Security may appeal to buyers looking for a freemium option; its Pro plan is $19.50 a month, with a beta offer of 50% off for the first 3 months and then $39/mo.

Verdict

Choose Mobile Secure if your team needs recurring, real-device analysis across mobile releases, third-party dependency context, and remediation guidance that fits a development pipeline. Its breadth is the main reason to choose it; the main reason to look elsewhere is the lack of a published price or stated trial, particularly if you need a low-friction way to compare tools before engaging sales.
