Detailed Review
Maltego is an investigation tool rather than a feed platform. Maltego Graph draws relationships between entities, and the other products add quick lookups, social media monitoring and evidence preservation.
The legal notice gives Maltego Technologies GmbH, Paul-Heyse-Strasse 29, Munich, registered at Amtsgericht Muenchen, HRB236523.
Published pricing
The pricing page lists a Basic tier at EUR 0 per year with 200 credits (Basic+ with 1,000 for eligible registered users), Entry at EUR 3,000 per year, Professional at EUR 7,500 per year for up to five users billed per seat, and Enterprise on request.
Product family
Maltego Graph is offered on desktop and in the browser. Maltego Monitor watches social media, Maltego Evidence preserves social media data, and Maltego Data is a curated data pass, according to the pricing page.
Investigation first
Maltego does not manage a stream of indicators or run playbooks. It fits after an alert, when an analyst needs to map how domains, people and infrastructure connect.
Limitations to Consider
Maltego is not a threat intelligence platform in the sense of storing and sharing STIX intelligence, so it complements rather than replaces EclecticIQ or Filigran. The licence agreement names Maltego US, Inc. as the contracting entity for the United States, while the German GmbH covers other regions. Credit limits cap lookups on lower tiers.
Who Should Use Maltego
Analysts, investigators and law-enforcement-adjacent teams who need graph-based OSINT and a transparent price list.
