VAPT Price Bands in India

VAPT cost in India ranges from around ₹25,000 for a basic scan to ₹8,50,000 or more for compliance-grade manual testing of a complex environment. A typical mid-sized web application with APIs sits between ₹1,50,000 and ₹3,50,000. Automated scanning alone runs ₹20,000 to ₹50,000, and manual penetration testing of a single web app usually starts around ₹40,000.

Teams don't ignore alerts because they're careless. They ignore them because most alerting tools are designed like log dumps, not inboxes.
