About BarkScan
We're building the next generation of internet intelligence tools. One platform, comprehensive data, prices that make sense.
Our Mission
To democratize access to comprehensive internet intelligence by making enterprise-grade security data accessible to teams of all sizes at fair, transparent prices.
Simple
One platform replaces five tools. No more juggling accounts and API keys.
Affordable
90% less than competitors. Enterprise features at startup prices.
Comprehensive
5 billion services, 65K ports. The most complete dataset available.
The Problem We're Solving
Security professionals face an impossible choice: pay $2,000+/month for multiple specialized tools from Shodan ($900), SecurityTrails ($500), Censys ($400), and IPinfo ($300), or settle for incomplete free tools that miss critical data.
Small security teams, independent researchers, and bug bounty hunters are priced out of the tools they need to do their jobs effectively. Meanwhile, enterprises pay thousands per month for data that should cost a fraction of that.
The internet intelligence market is broken. Legacy providers charge enterprise prices for basic features. New entrants focus on narrow use cases. Nobody is building for the 99% of security professionals who just need reliable, comprehensive data at a fair price.
How BarkScan Is Different
Unified Platform
Instead of maintaining accounts with Shodan, SecurityTrails, Censys, IPinfo, and certificate transparency logs, BarkScan provides everything in one platform. One API key. One invoice. One interface.
Transparent Pricing
We start at $9/month for individual researchers and $499/month for professional teams. No hidden fees. No per-request charges. No surprise bills. Compare that to $2,600/month for equivalent coverage from competitors.

Built by Security Professionals
BarkScan was founded by security engineers frustrated with the state of internet intelligence tooling. We've worked in security research, penetration testing, and bug bounty hunting. We know the pain points because we've lived them.
Our team combines expertise in distributed systems, network scanning, security research, and product development. We're building the tools we wish existed when we were doing this work.
Responsible Scanning
BarkScan conducts security research scanning to map the internet and help organizations identify exposed services. We follow responsible scanning practices, identify ourselves in all connections, and respect opt-out requests.
