Cheap threat intelligence — honestly scoped
A Recorded Future alternative if you only needed KEV on your SaaS stack.
Recorded Future’s Vulnerability Intelligence tracks exploitability against your tech stack without agents. That sentence is also our product — with CISA KEV as the public source, a curated SaaS catalog, and a price a founder can expense.
Pick ZeroDayTracker if
- You do not have a CTI analyst to operationalize modules.
- Your “tech stack” is SaaS logos, not a global CPE inventory.
- You want exploited-first briefings and CISA’s required action, not dark-web IOCs.
- Your budget is closer to $20/month than $25k–$70k for a vuln-intel module.
Pick Recorded Future (or Mandiant) if
- You have a SOC that consumes finished intel and detections.
- You need actor attribution, malware, and dark-web monitoring.
- You must show a named intel vendor to a regulator or board.
What “alternative” means here
UnderDefense and others note that CISA KEV can stand in for a large fraction of vuln-intel triage if you join it to inventory. We join it to a SaaS inventory you type. That is not Insikt Group. It is the 60% of the job a SaaS-first company actually does on a Tuesday.
Also compare OpenCVE (CVE database) and Sentrytex (breach news).
Questions
Is this a full Recorded Future replacement?
No. Recorded Future sells threat intel, dark web, brand, and more. We replace one job: “tell me when a known-exploited vuln hits the SaaS I named.” CISA KEV covers a large share of vuln-intel triage for that job.
What does Recorded Future cost?
Public 2026 buyer guides put vulnerability-intel modules in the tens of thousands per year, with platform deals much higher. We are $0 or $20/month. Different category, overlapping question.
