European Alternatives to Traceable (Harness)
Looking for a European alternative to Traceable? Traceable's own website now carries a Harness Inc. copyright notice, and Harness's privacy statement names Harness Inc. of San Francisco, California as data controller, with a Paris-based subsidiary only as its EU representative. Teams that chose an API security vendor for its independence, or that want the contracting party under European law, often start a new shortlist at that point.
The European tools below cover API discovery, OpenAPI-driven testing, business-logic attacks and access control, mostly as separate products that you combine rather than one platform that does everything.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects which tools are listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- Traceable's website footer carries a Harness Inc. copyright notice, and the Harness privacy statement names Harness Inc. of San Francisco as data controller.
- Harness's subscription terms of 24 August 2026 apply California law and send non-US customers to ICC arbitration in San Francisco, though a Traceable contract may reference a different document.
- 42Crunch is the only tool in this list that enforces anything at runtime, and it does so from an OpenAPI contract instead of from learned traffic.
- Equixly publishes a price of €4,999 for a single API penetration test with results in two days, which Traceable does not match with any published figure.
- Curity solves API access control with OAuth tokens, not vulnerability testing, so it replaces a different part of the stack than Traceable's scanners do.
Why people leave Traceable
Traceable sells API security in three layers: finding every API an organisation runs, testing those APIs before release, and watching live traffic to block attacks. Its home page groups these as posture management, security testing and protection, and lists use cases such as account takeover, bot mitigation, sensitive data exfiltration and incident response. Named customer stories on the site include Informatica, Jobvite and Axos Bank. For a large estate of internet-facing APIs, that breadth in one console is the draw.
The reason buyers start a second shortlist is ownership. The Traceable site footer now reads "Harness Inc.", and the Harness privacy statement names Harness Inc. of 55 Stockton Street, San Francisco as data controller.
A Paris subsidiary, Harness France SAS, appears only as the representative for EU data subjects. Anyone who picked Traceable as an independent specialist now has a platform company in California as the party behind the product, and that changes what procurement and the data protection officer have to document.
A second group leaves for scope, not for ownership. Traceable bundles runtime protection with discovery and testing, and a team that only wants one of the three pays for the platform to get it. European tools split along the same lines but sell the pieces separately: contract audits, attack-style testing, scanners, hand-run pentests. That is cheaper to adopt in steps and harder to run as a whole, and the sections below say where that trade starts to hurt.
- The contracting party is a California company Harness's privacy statement lists Harness Inc. in San Francisco as controller. Its subscription terms, version of 24 August 2026, put the agreement under the law of the State of California, with disputes from customers outside the United States settled by ICC arbitration in San Francisco. We did not find a Traceable-specific contract, so check which document your order form actually references. If it is the Harness text, a European customer signs up to a foreign governing law and a foreign seat for disputes.
- Transfers rest on frameworks, not on location The Harness privacy statement lists the safeguards it relies on for transfers out of the EEA, UK and Switzerland: adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, and Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK or Swiss addendum. These are lawful routes, and they also mean a transfer assessment sits in your file for as long as traffic samples, API schemas and findings go to the vendor. A European vendor under EU law makes that document unnecessary.
- A platform you may only partly use Traceable's three product areas cover discovery and posture, testing built from real and replayed traffic, and runtime protection against OWASP Top 10 attacks, bots and DDoS. A security team that already has a gateway or WAF in place may need discovery and testing alone. Paying for the full platform in that case makes the price per used feature high, which is why a bundle of two or three smaller European tools can come out cheaper.
- Contract terms written for the parent The Harness subscription terms renew an order for the same term length unless a party gives at least 30 days' notice, and customer data is deleted within 30 days of a request. Neither is unusual. They are worth reading because switching away from Traceable starts with the notice window, not with the replacement tool, and a missed date can lock in another full term.
What you have to replace, not just match
Start with the part nobody lists in the demo: traffic. Traceable describes testing built from real and replayed traffic and protection that watches live requests.
No European tool on this page rebuilds that from the same data source. 42Crunch is the nearest, because its micro-firewall enforces an OpenAPI contract at the gateway, but it enforces what the specification allows and does not learn behaviour from the traffic.
If your use of Traceable was mostly attack detection against bots, account takeover and data exfiltration, you are replacing a capability the list below mostly does not offer, and the realistic answer is a gateway or WAF plus one of these testing tools.
The second thing to replace is discovery. Traceable's posture layer continuously finds APIs and, according to its home page, MCP tools.
In Europe, Equixly keeps an inventory with personal data classification, Aikido pairs its scanner with shadow and zombie API discovery, and Edgescan looks for rogue APIs across cloud accounts. Each does a narrower job, and none gives a single graph of every API call in production, so write down which questions the Traceable inventory answered for your team before you pick one.
The third is the glue: alert routing, ticketing and dashboards that other teams already use. Intruder files issues in Jira, AppCheck integrates with Jira and TeamCity, and Pentest-Tools.com offers a REST API on every plan. Rebuilding a SIEM feed or a ticket workflow takes longer than switching the scanner, and it is the item most migration plans leave out.

How each alternative compares to Traceable
Best for: Spec-first engineering teams that want testing in the pipeline and a gateway policy from the same file
Against Traceable, 42Crunch starts earlier and ends narrower. Its audit runs more than 300 static checks on OpenAPI and GraphQL definitions, a scan sends simulated traffic to the running API, and a micro-firewall built from the approved contract rejects requests with the wrong verb, path or payload shape. Traceable instead learns from observed requests and replayed traffic, so it can notice abuse the specification never described.
The company is a UK limited company with its parent in Covent Garden, London, per its privacy policy, and its site states ISO 27001. The homepage now leads with MCP server governance, so a buyer who wants API testing alone should ask where the classic product sits on the roadmap. Pricing is on request and the hosting region is not stated.
What 42Crunch does better than Traceable
- The firewall policy is regenerated whenever the contract changes, which keeps enforcement and documentation from drifting apart
- Static checks appear in the IDE and in CI/CD, before any traffic exists
- Contracting entity is a UK company, not a Californian parent
- GraphQL is covered with the same audit, scan and protect cycle
Where 42Crunch is a step down from Traceable
- Protection is only as good as the specification, so undocumented APIs get little from it
- No bot, account takeover or data exfiltration detection from live traffic
- No public price, and the vendor's current focus has moved toward MCP
Standout against Traceable. It is the one tool on this page whose output becomes an enforcement rule instead of a report.
Best for: Companies with many internal and partner APIs that want recurring exploit-validated testing
Equixly attacks where Traceable observes. Its agents chain calls and workflow steps to look for broken object-level authorization, IDOR and multi-step exploit paths, and the vendor says findings are validated by actual exploitation. A second module keeps an inventory of APIs, flags undocumented endpoints and classifies personal data in responses, which covers part of Traceable's discovery job.
The pricing page lists one fixed offer, a penetration test with results in two days for €4,999, black-box and grey-box, while the continuous platform is quoted. Equixly S.r.l. is in Florence, Italy, and its footer shows ISO 27001 and the Cybersecurity Made in Europe mark. Hosting location and any self-hosted option are not stated.
What Equixly does better than Traceable
- A published single-test price of €4,999 makes budgeting possible before a sales call
- Targets authorization and logic flaws that a single request never reveals
- Can be triggered from CI/CD, so tests follow each release
- EU contracting entity under Italian law
Where Equixly is a step down from Traceable
- Does not sit in the traffic path, so nothing is blocked
- No free trial seen on the pages checked
Standout against Traceable. The only entry here that sells a single API penetration test with a stated euro price and a two-day turnaround.
Escape
Business-logic testing from Paris that substitutes for Traceable's security testing layer
Best for: Cloud-native teams whose main API risk is authorization logic rather than known CVEs
Escape is a dynamic scanner aimed at the flaws that live in how an API behaves. It is described on its own pages as GraphQL-aware, runs tests as multiple users to catch access control mistakes and suggests fixes. Compared with Traceable's testing built from real traffic, Escape works from the API definition and a running target, so it needs no production tap.
Escape Technologies SAS is a French company, and its privacy policy names France though the street address given is incomplete, so ask for the full registered office. The pricing page shows no amounts and each route ends in a demo booking. Internal networks are out of scope, which suits stacks built around public and partner APIs.
What Escape does better than Traceable
- Tests as several users in one run, which exposes object-level authorization gaps
- French company under EU law instead of a US parent
- Needs no sensor or traffic feed, so a pilot can start from a definition file
- Offers fix suggestions alongside findings
Where Escape is a step down from Traceable
- No runtime blocking or bot defence
- Buying starts with a demo, with no amounts published
- Internal network scanning is not offered
Standout against Traceable. Aims its tests at business-logic flaws in APIs, where signature-based scanners report nothing.
Best for: Organisations that want one scanning contract across APIs, web applications and infrastructure
AppCheck covers the testing role with a scanner that builds a model of an API from its schema. Its documentation lists REST with JSON, SOAP by WSDL and GraphQL, fixture data generated from Swagger and GraphQL definitions, and IDOR among the authorization checks. Against Traceable, the strong point is authentication handling: HMAC and AWS v4 request signing, chainable rules for custom signatures, and sessions kept alive with TOTP and OAuth.
AppCheck Ltd is registered in England and Wales under company number 06888174, with a Batley address, and all licences are described as having unlimited users. No prices are published and the hosting region is not stated. The product finds vulnerabilities and does not block anything.
What AppCheck does better than Traceable
- One licence covers APIs, web applications, infrastructure and CMS, where Traceable is API and application focused
- SOAP support alongside REST and GraphQL
- Request signing and OAuth or TOTP sessions work out of the box, which stalls many scanners
- Unlimited users per licence, so seat counts do not drive the bill
Where AppCheck is a step down from Traceable
- No runtime protection and no traffic-based API discovery described
- No published prices to compare against a Traceable quote
Standout against Traceable. Documents HMAC and AWS v4 request signing, which most scanners in this category leave out.
Aikido Security
A developer suite with an API scanner that suits teams leaving Traceable for something lighter
Best for: Small developer teams that want API scanning next to code and cloud checks, starting free
Aikido treats API security as one scanner inside a wider developer suite that also covers dependencies, secrets, containers and infrastructure as code. Its API scanner works from Swagger definitions, and the vendor pairs it with detection of shadow and zombie APIs. Against Traceable, that is a smaller feature set aimed at developers, not at a security operations centre.
The contracting company is Aikido Security BV in Ghent, Belgium, founded in 2022, and the site also shows offices in the United States and the United Kingdom, which is worth a procurement question. A free tier covers two users. The pricing page lists Basic and Pro monthly fees, but a client-side selector sets the currency, so no symbol is claimed here.
What Aikido Security does better than Traceable
- A free tier removes the sales call from a first trial
- Code, container and cloud findings sit next to API findings in one list
- Belgian BV named as the contracting company
- Shadow API detection is named as part of the offer
Where Aikido Security is a step down from Traceable
- No live-traffic protection comparable with Traceable's runtime layer
- A short history, with the company founded in 2022
Standout against Traceable. Puts an API scanner, shadow API detection and a free tier in the same suite as code and container scanning.
Detectify
Published pricing and external scanning that covers testing, not Traceable's protection
Best for: Security teams that want recurring external scanning of web apps and APIs at a known price
Detectify scans REST and GraphQL APIs from the Standard tier, fuzzing from OpenAPI v2 and v3 specifications and GraphQL schemas, and it maps the external attack surface around them. Payloads come partly from Crowdsource, a network of more than 400 ethical hackers. Against Traceable, it is a scheduled outside-in scanner and has no view of production traffic.
Detectify AB in Stockholm has operated since 2013 and states ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance. Prices per year are public: Starter is free for 5 users and 100 assets, Standard €2,500, Professional €5,000 and Enterprise €15,000. API scanning begins at Standard, CI/CD integration at Professional, and the step to Enterprise is steep.
What Detectify does better than Traceable
- Prices from free to €15,000 a year are published, where Traceable's were not on the pages we read
- Swedish company under EU law
- Attack surface mapping finds exposed assets no inventory listed
- Crowdsourced payloads add techniques from outside researchers
Where Detectify is a step down from Traceable
- Finds exposure but does not block attacks, and is neither a WAF nor a CDN
- CI/CD integration needs Professional or above
- Standard caps at 750 assets and 10 users
Standout against Traceable. Publishes a full price ladder, from a free tier to €15,000 a year, which is rare in application security.
Best for: Small and mid-sized teams that want hands-off monitoring of what they expose
Intruder offers schema-driven API scans inside a wider exposure management subscription. A schema is uploaded, scans run on a schedule or from CI/CD, and findings go to Jira. Change detection scans new assets as ports open or cloud services appear. Against Traceable, the job is smaller: it tests and monitors from outside, and it does not inspect traffic.
The company is Intruder Systems Ltd, registered in England under number 09529593 per the site footer, and the homepage claims more than 3,000 companies use it. The pricing page lists a free plan with weekly external scans, a Cloud plan with a 14-day trial, a Pro plan and quote-based Enterprise. Paid amounts were not in the page text, and AI pentests are priced from USD 3,500.
What Intruder does better than Traceable
- A free plan and a 14-day trial make evaluation cheap
- Change detection reacts when new ports or services appear
- Registered UK company with a published number
- One subscription spans API scans, cloud checks and container images
Where Intruder is a step down from Traceable
- No runtime protection or bot mitigation
- Paid plan amounts and pentests are shown in dollars or not at all
- The free plan is limited to ports 80 and 443
Standout against Traceable. Scans new assets automatically when ports open or cloud services appear.
Pentest-Tools.com
A toolkit for people who run tests themselves, a different model than Traceable's platform
Best for: Pentesters and in-house security teams that want to run their own API tests and keep evidence
Pentest-Tools.com sells scanners and exploiters on a self-service basis. Its API scanner takes an OpenAPI file or a Postman collection, and the Exploit plan adds automatic CVE exploitation and import of findings from Burp Suite. Against Traceable, the contrast is operational: here a person starts each test and writes the report, while Traceable's testing is built from traffic it already sees.
The terms name PENTESTTOOLS S.A., a Romanian joint stock company registered in Bucharest, headquartered there since 2017. The vendor claims more than 2,100 customers in 119 or more countries. Plans start at $96 a month for 16 assets (NetScan), $140 for 5 assets (AppScan) and $190 (Exploit), priced in dollars despite the Romanian entity. A seven-day trial is offered.
What Pentest-Tools.com does better than Traceable
- Prices are published by asset count, with a REST API and integrations on every plan
- The report generator exports to Word or Google Docs, useful for audit evidence
- Romanian S.A. as contracting party
- Pricing stays predictable because it scales with assets, not with traffic
Where Pentest-Tools.com is a step down from Traceable
- No researcher crowd, no triage and no runtime layer
- The report generator is an add-on and several features are marked new
- Dollar pricing from a European company
Standout against Traceable. Takes a Postman collection as scan input, which fits teams that already document their APIs there.
Best for: Organisations that want automated testing with expert verification and hidden API discovery
Edgescan combines an attack surface module with web, API, network and mobile testing and, according to its own pages, human verification of findings aimed at cutting false positives. It looks for rogue and hidden APIs across cloud providers. Against Traceable, the discovery is outside-in and the findings are checked by people before they reach you.
Its privacy policy names BCC Risk Advisory Limited, an Irish company trading as Edgescan, and the vendor describes founding in 2017 by Eoin Keary, with offices in Dublin and New York. No prices appear on the pages checked, and the entity used for service contracts was not checked, only the one on the website policy.
What Edgescan does better than Traceable
- Analysts check findings before delivery, which reduces triage on your side
- Irish company with a registration number, Dublin base
- Pentest as a service lets one vendor cover both scanning and manual work
- Hidden API discovery adds inventory from outside your own documentation
Where Edgescan is a step down from Traceable
- No public prices and no traffic-level protection
- A US office sits alongside Dublin, so ask who signs service contracts
Standout against Traceable. Pairs rogue API discovery with human verification of what it finds.
Vaadata
Hand-run API pentests for authentication and access control, replacing audits and not tooling
Best for: French and European teams that want a human-led API pentest from a French SARL
Vaadata tests API authentication and access control by hand, including JWT and OAuth checks, with a retest after fixes. Against Traceable it is a different category of supplier: a pentest firm, not a platform. The catalogue also includes web, mobile, LLM systems, cloud, infrastructure and IoT, plus red team and assumed breach exercises.
The legal notices name VAADATA, a SARL with share capital of €36,000 registered in Lyon (RCS 797 558 590), and the about page says the company was created in 2014 and is financially independent. The vendor claims more than 800 clients. No prices are published, and the legal notices state that the marketing website is hosted by Kinsta Inc. in the United States.
What Vaadata does better than Traceable
- A person reasons about authorization abuse that automated tools only partly catch
- French contracting entity with its register number published
- Retest is part of the service, so closure of findings is checked
- Scope extends to LLM systems and IoT, beyond APIs
Where Vaadata is a step down from Traceable
- Point-in-time engagements, with no continuous coverage between tests
- No platform, inventory or runtime protection
- Quote-only pricing
Standout against Traceable. A named French SARL with a published register number that tests API authentication manually and retests the fixes.
Best for: Teams that need token-based access to partner, app and AI agent APIs under their own hosting
Curity answers a different question than Traceable. Instead of finding or blocking attacks, it issues and controls the tokens that decide who may call an API, with OAuth, OpenID Connect, FAPI, SAML and SCIM and a Token Handler edition. It would sit beside a scanner, not replace one.
Curity AB is a Swedish company founded in Stockholm in 2015 (registration number 559017-0196), and the product is certified by the OpenID Foundation. There is no Curity-operated SaaS: you deploy on-premise, single-cloud, multi-cloud or hybrid. A free Community Edition exists, paid editions are on a flat annual subscription with the price on request, and GRO, a Danish private equity fund, has held a stake since May 2023.
What Curity does better than Traceable
- Runs wherever you choose to host it, so data location is your decision
- Flat annual subscription instead of billing per active user
- OpenID Foundation certification for the OAuth and OpenID Connect implementation
- A free Community Edition lets you test token flows before buying
Where Curity is a step down from Traceable
- Finds no vulnerabilities and detects no attacks
- Every deployment is your own operations task, with no vendor-run service
Standout against Traceable. Has no vendor cloud at all, so the identity layer for your APIs runs only on infrastructure you pick.
What actually breaks when you switch
The first thing that breaks is the data you cannot take with you. Harness's subscription terms say customer data can be exported as described in the documentation or on request within 30 days of termination, and that deletion follows within 30 days of a request.
Ask early for the inventory, the list of findings and any custom detection rules in a format you can read. None of the European tools imports a Traceable export directly, so expect to rebuild the API inventory from OpenAPI files, a gateway export or a first scan.
The second is integrations and habits. Alerts that fed a SIEM or a chat channel need new routes, ticket templates change, and engineers who learned to read Traceable's traffic views lose a tool they used during incidents.
Plan the cut-over around the renewal date: the terms we read renew an order for the same length unless notice is given at least 30 days before it ends. Run the new tool in parallel for one release cycle, and do not switch off Traceable's protection before a gateway or WAF rule covers the same ground.
Does moving from Traceable to a European tool remove the US jurisdiction question?
For the tool itself, yes, if the contract is with the European company and under its law.
Equixly S.r.l. in Florence, Escape Technologies SAS in France, Detectify AB in Stockholm and Vaadata SARL in Lyon all contract as EU entities. 42Crunch, AppCheck and Intruder are UK companies, which the EU treats under an adequacy decision rather than as members of the EEA.
What the move does not remove is everything around the tool: a US cloud provider under the vendor, a US-based support subprocessor or a marketing site hosted by an American company, as Vaadata's legal notices disclose for its website.
So the useful test is a short list of questions to every vendor: which entity signs, which law governs, where are scan results stored, and which subprocessors touch them. Most vendors here state the first two on their legal pages and do not state the hosting region, so the last two usually need a written answer before signature.
Can one European product replace the whole Traceable platform?
Not on the evidence of the vendor pages we read. The tools split into contract-driven (42Crunch), attack-driven (Equixly, Escape), scanner-driven (AppCheck, Detectify, Intruder, Pentest-Tools.com, Aikido), human-driven (Vaadata, Edgescan) and access-control (Curity). Traceable covers discovery, testing and live protection in one product, and nothing on this page covers all three at the same depth.
A workable combination for many teams is one tool for each phase: 42Crunch or Escape before release, a scanner such as Detectify or AppCheck on a schedule, and a gateway you already own for blocking. That gives up the single console and the traffic-learned detection. If those two are what you value most in Traceable, treat the switch as a reduction in scope and budget accordingly.
Which one to pick
If blocking is what you valued, plan a smaller replacement. 42Crunch is the only tool here that enforces anything at runtime, and it needs accurate OpenAPI files. Pair it with Equixly or Escape for attack-style testing, and keep your existing gateway or WAF for bots and DDoS. If testing and inventory were the main use, Equixly, Escape or AppCheck cover it, and Detectify or Intruder suit teams that want a published price or a free start.
If the driver is contract and jurisdiction, shortlist the EU entities first: Equixly (Italy), Escape and Vaadata (France), Detectify and Curity (Sweden), Edgescan (Ireland), Pentest-Tools.com (Romania) and Aikido (Belgium). Curity belongs on the list only if your gap is API access control, and Vaadata only if a manual pentest is acceptable in place of tooling. Staying with Traceable is reasonable when live-traffic detection is the reason you bought it, since no European tool on this page reproduces it.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on which part of Traceable you used. For testing before release, 42Crunch, Equixly and Escape work from the API itself, and 42Crunch is the one that also blocks malformed requests at the gateway. For a scanner that also covers web apps and infrastructure, AppCheck and Detectify are the closest matches. Nobody here reproduces traffic-learned attack detection across production.
The Traceable website footer carries a Harness Inc. copyright notice, and Harness's privacy statement names Harness Inc. in San Francisco as data controller. We did not read the terms of the acquisition or its date, so this page says only what the two sites show. Ask your account manager which entity is on your order form.
No. Most of the tools here let you run a test next to the old one. Aikido has a free tier, Intruder has a free plan, Pentest-Tools.com offers a seven-day trial of its API scanner and Equixly sells a single test for €4,999. The only deadline to watch is the renewal notice in your Traceable order, because renewal for a further term is the default under the Harness terms we read.
Aikido and Intruder offer free entry points, Detectify has a free Starter tier for up to 5 users and 100 assets, and Curity's Community Edition is free. Pentest-Tools.com lists plans from $96 a month. Equixly's single test costs €4,999. Traceable's own price was not on the pages we read, so no comparison against it is made here.
Some can. Equixly maintains an API inventory and flags endpoints missing from documentation, Aikido describes shadow API detection, and Edgescan describes discovery of rogue and hidden APIs. None of them is described as watching production traffic the way Traceable's posture layer is, so completeness depends on how much of your estate each one can reach from outside or from your cloud accounts.
