MindFort vs Cobalt
Cobalt runs human-led, AI-powered pentests through its network of vetted testers, the Cobalt Core. It also issues letters of attestation for compliance. MindFort's agents run the whole test themselves and keep testing continuously. They prove each finding with a working exploit and open the patch pull request. Plans start at $199/mo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MindFort and Cobalt.
For continuous testing, yes. Cobalt's pentests are human-led and AI-powered: AI handles discovery, reconnaissance, and reporting. Human pentesters lead validation, complex testing, and business logic. MindFort runs autonomously from recon to the patch pull request and provides an attestation letter for auditors, as Cobalt does.
Yes. Every Cobalt engagement is backed by the Cobalt Core, its network of 500+ vetted security experts. Even in its Autonomous Pentest, Core pentesters approve the AI-generated test plan and approve or deny each tool call. MindFort has no human testers in the loop.
Yes, for its human-led tests. Cobalt says you can access attestation letters and executive summaries before the engagement closes, with reports mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. It states that its Autonomous Pentest does not produce compliance attestation reports. MindFort provides an attestation letter, plus reports and audit evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Cobalt says human-led pentests launch within 24 hours using its scoping wizard. Its pricing page lists start times of 3, 2, and 1 business days on the Standard, Premium, and Enterprise tiers. Its Autonomous Pentest delivers a complete pentest in 24 hours. MindFort is self-serve with no scheduling step and delivers first results in hours.
Cobalt sells credits worth 8 hours of offensive security testing each, with its Standard, Premium, and Enterprise tiers quoted through sales. As of October 2026, it also advertises Autonomous Pentest at a limited-time $3,500 per test for tests completed before December 31, 2026. Cobalt includes unlimited on-demand retesting during the contract. MindFort starts at $199/mo self-serve, with each retest costing 1 credit.
