Burp Suite DAST vs. Burp Suite Professional - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's comparison page distinguishes Burp Suite DAST, a fully automated scanner for running scans across a scalable number of web applications with CI/CD integration, RBAC, SSO, and dashboards for organization-wide security posture, from Burp Suite Professional, a single-user desktop toolkit with Burp Proxy, Burp Intruder, Burp Repeater, Burp Sequencer, and 250+ extensions. Both use Burp Scanner, which the page says is trusted by over 60,000 users worldwide and runs browser-powered scanning with an embedded Chromium browser.
What you should know: The page draws the line at access control and scale: DAST offers RBAC and SSO with no limit on users or distinct applications scanned, while Professional is licensed for individual users with no access control at all - a distinction that matters when deciding who in your organization can scan what.
