Compare
Compliance Everywhere vs.
Horizon3.
These are not the same product, and the useful comparison starts by saying so. NodeZero hunts attack paths across your internal network. We test the application you ship and bring the auditor's signed report with it. If your risk is Active Directory, buy theirs.
Side by side
| Criterion | Horizon3 NodeZero | Compliance Everywhere |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually tests | Attack paths across your internal estate: Active Directory, lateral movement, credential reuse, hundreds of hosts | The application layer of one product, plus the infrastructure it runs on |
| Published pricing | None. Four tiers with no figures, demo required for a quote | Every price on the pricing page, no sales call to see it |
| What buyers actually pay | Median near $18,600 a year, per asset, observed up to $59,720 (Vendr) | $299 a month under 10 people, $499 at 10 or more |
| Test cadence | Unlimited pentests folded into every tier | Continuous, with a fresh pentest every month at any tier |
| Compliance attestation | Not part of the product | SOC 2 controls plus an independent CPA who signs the report, billed to you directly |
| 104-challenge benchmark | No public score exists | 93% no hints, 100% with source (self-reported, not independently verified) |
| Funding and scale | $250M raised at a $2B+ valuation, enterprise sales motion | Seed stage, founder-led, no enterprise minimum |
| Best for | Security teams validating attack paths across a large internal network | Product teams that ship monthly and need an auditor to accept the result |
Two notes against our own interest. NodeZero folding unlimited pentests into every tier is a genuinely good model, and on a large internal estate the per-asset price can be the cheaper answer. And there is no public 104-challenge score for NodeZero, so nobody, including us, can claim a benchmark win here. We will not invent one to fill the row.

Which one
The network, or the product.
Pick Horizon3 when
- Your risk lives inside the network. Active Directory, flat internal segments, credential reuse and lateral movement across hundreds of hosts is exactly what NodeZero was built to find, and we do not do that job.
- You have a security team to act on continuous internal findings, and an estate large enough that per-asset pricing makes sense.
- You want unlimited runs against a broad, changing internal surface rather than depth on one application.
- You are an enterprise buyer who is comfortable with a quote-based contract and wants a vendor with $250M behind it.
Pick Compliance Everywhere when
- Your risk lives in the product you ship, not the corporate network. One application, tested at the layer your customers actually reach.
- You need the SOC 2 as well as the test. Your agent builds the controls, and an independent CPA you pay directly signs the report.
- You want the price before the sales call. Ours is published; theirs requires a demo.
- You are a small team. $2,990 for a year of monthly pentests and the SOC 2, paid annually, is a real line item where an $18,600 median contract is not.
