Quixxi Scan

Quixxi Scan is a cloud service for security checks on Android and iOS apps and their APIs. It suits mobile developers and organizations serving substantial mobile user bases, particularly those that want both app analysis and API testing. Its broad scan choices are useful, but DAST is expensive and there is no unlimited monthly DAST option.

Overview

Quixxi Scan combines static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST) and API scanning. SAST explains vulnerabilities and proposes fixes, while DAST examines runtime protections and API Scan targets common web-service weaknesses. The combination gives a team several assessment paths in one cloud service, though purchases are tied to a particular app or API domain and to a selected scan type.

The service aligns with GDPR guidelines, addresses OWASP Mobile Top 10 risks, assists with PCI DSS requirements and incorporates NIST-recommended practices. Those reference points can help teams map findings to established security work, but they do not replace an organization’s own compliance assessment.

Key features

Static analysis and development integration

SAST analyzes Android and iOS binaries, identifies vulnerabilities, explains their impact and supplies actionable remediation recommendations. Continuous automated scanning can be connected to a CI/CD pipeline, making the service a sensible fit for teams that want security checks during software delivery rather than only before release.

Dynamic mobile testing

DAST checks apps while they run, including SSL pinning, root detection, sensitive data handling, endpoint identity, encryption, copy-and-paste behavior and screenshots. That coverage focuses on runtime exposure that static analysis cannot fully reveal. The trade-off is price: a one-off DAST scan costs $199 per Android or iOS app, and Quixxi does not offer an unlimited monthly DAST plan.

API assessment

API Scan checks for injection attacks, authentication flaws, cross-site scripting and insecure direct object references. It is sold per domain, so it fits teams that need a defined API surface assessed independently of their mobile-app scans.

Support and access

Support includes a knowledge base, ticket submission, email and live chat. Security questions and reports can be sent to [email protected].

Pricing

Quixxi uses a freemium model, with paid plans from $29. The free access is best for initial SAST evaluation rather than ongoing coverage with stated quotas.

Custom plans can combine apps and selected modules, with bundle plans positioned as a way to save. The per-app and per-domain structure means organizations with many apps should request a tailored package; the published unlimited allowances still apply to the named app or domain.

Platforms

Quixxi Scan runs in the cloud and supports Android, iOS and web access. Mobile analysis covers both major mobile platforms, with one included app identified for the service.

Who it's for

Mobile developers can use the $29 SAST entry point for a focused release check, or monthly and yearly unlimited SAST for repeated work on one app. Teams responsible for APIs have comparable one-off and recurring domain plans. Organizations that need runtime testing should budget for the $199 DAST scan and accept that repeated DAST purchases are not replaced by an unlimited monthly tier.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Three complementary scan types: SAST, DAST and API checks cover source-related, runtime and service-layer risks.
• Actionable SAST reporting: Explanations and fix recommendations make findings more useful to developers.
• CI/CD option: Continuous SAST scanning can fit automated delivery pipelines.
• Low-cost entry: One-off SAST and API scans cost $29, with free access for initial evaluation.
• Recognized security frameworks: GDPR, OWASP Mobile Top 10, PCI DSS and NIST practices provide useful alignment points.

Cons

• DAST is costly: The $199 per-app one-off price is much higher than SAST entry plans.
• No unlimited monthly DAST: Teams needing frequent runtime scans must buy one-off scans or discuss custom arrangements.
• Scope is narrow per purchase: Published unlimited plans apply to one app or one API domain.
• Shield pricing is high: Monthly and yearly Shield commitments cost $599 and $5,999 respectively per app.

Verdict

Choose Quixxi Scan if you need mobile SAST, DAST or API checks with Android and iOS coverage, especially when actionable SAST findings and CI/CD integration matter. Its $29 entry plans and unlimited SAST or API subscriptions are practical for focused app or domain work. Look elsewhere if you require an unlimited monthly DAST plan, broad multi-app coverage under one published allowance or a lower-cost path to repeated runtime testing.
