Vooki Pro is a desktop DAST scanner with local, on-device AI-assisted triage for web applications and REST APIs. Burp Suite is PortSwigger's web security toolkit, split across two distinct products: Burp Suite Professional (manual-first desktop pentesting with an on-demand scanner) and Burp Suite DAST (PortSwigger's separate automation-focused product). This page compares Vooki Pro against both, specifically and separately — the two aren't interchangeable, and conflating them is the most common mistake in this comparison.
"Start 7-Day Trial" submits a request — Vooki Pro's team reviews it and sends the trial license and installation instructions; it is not an instant self-serve activation.
Vooki Pro's 6-step guided wizard walks you through target, discovery, auth, policy, schedule and review in one flow. Burp's scan launcher is a single dialog, with scope and login setup configured separately beforehand.
Vooki Pro's AI triage (ThreatLens) runs entirely offline on your machine after a one-time model download. Burp AI requires a live connection to PortSwigger's hosted AI platform — confirmed "not currently" usable offline — and is metered by a credit balance (10,000 free credits, expiring 12 months after purchase).
Burp Suite Professional's own report export is HTML and XML only — no PDF, DOCX or compliance-mapped reports; those exist only in the separate DAST product. Vooki Pro ships four standard formats and seven compliance-mapped reports in one license.
| Capability | Vooki Pro | Burp Suite Professional | Burp Suite DAST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux AppImage) | Desktop only | Cloud-hosted, self-hosted, or CI-container-only |
| Guided scan setup | Included — 6-step wizard | Not documented as a guided flow; scope (Target > Scope) and login sequences are configured separately before launching a scan | Not verified in the reviewed documentation |
| REST API scanning | Included | Included | Included |
| Scheduled / recurring scans | Included | Not found in official docs — documented only for DAST | Included |
| AI-assisted triage | Included — local, offline (ThreatLens) | Included ("Burp AI," Professional 2025.2+) — cloud-based, credit-metered; PortSwigger's own capabilities page confirms it cannot currently be used offline | Not verified in the reviewed documentation |
| Automated retest of a finding | Included — re-runs the originating detector | Not found in official docs | Included — manual, automatic, and API-triggered retest |
| Standard report formats | HTML, PDF, DOCX, JSON | HTML and XML only | HTML, PDF |
| Compliance-mapped reports | Included — 7 frameworks (OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS v4, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX) | Not available | OWASP Top 10 2025, PCI DSS v4.0.1 (2 frameworks) |
| CLI / CI-CD | Included — vooki-pro-cli, JSON-configured, severity-threshold exit codes, HTML/JSON/SARIF/DOCX/PDF output | Not verified as CI-oriented in the reviewed documentation | Built for CI/CD pipelines |
| Licensing | $399–$999/year, per domain + all subdomains, no seat limits | $499/year, per seat | Quote-based |
"Not verified in the reviewed documentation" means the capability was not confirmed in official sources at the time of writing — it does not mean the capability is absent.
Vooki Pro's wizard asks for your target, discovery approach, authentication, scan policy, and schedule in sequence, ending in a review screen before anything runs. Burp's scan launcher is a single dialog, but it assumes scope and login sequences are already configured elsewhere in the app — a reasonable workflow for testers already fluent in Burp, more setup overhead for a new tester or a team standardizing a repeatable process.
ThreatLens downloads a local language model (Qwen3-8B, 4-bit quantized GGUF, ~5GB) once, with a resumable download and a mirror fallback, and runs entirely on your CPU or GPU after that — no scan traffic leaves your machine for AI analysis, and scans still run on rule-based detection alone if the model isn't downloaded. Burp AI's own capabilities page states customer data "stays within PortSwigger's secure AI platform" and that offline use is "not currently" supported. For teams where scan traffic itself is sensitive — session tokens, internal hostnames, personal data surfaced in responses — this is a documented architectural difference, not a marketing one.
This is worth stating plainly because it's easy to assume Burp Suite Professional inherits DAST's reporting: it doesn't. Professional's own report-settings documentation confirms only HTML and XML export — no PDF, no DOCX, and no compliance-framework mapping. Compliance-ready output (OWASP Top 10 2025, PCI DSS v4.0.1) exists only in Burp Suite DAST, a separately licensed product from Professional.
PortSwigger itself frames Professional and DAST as solving different problems — manual/on-demand testing versus organization-wide scheduled automation. Vooki Pro doesn't require that upfront choice: guided automated scanning, scheduling, and compliance reporting live in the same license.
Runs on your machine. Applications, scans, findings and reports are stored in a local database; scan data is never uploaded. Scanning needs no internet beyond the target — but the license re-validates roughly once a day while online (about a week of offline tolerance), and the one-time ThreatLens download (~5GB) needs a connection.
Desktop application; project data is stored locally in files you manage yourself. $499/year per seat.
PortSwigger-hosted cloud, self-hosted (AWS/Azure/GCP/Kubernetes), or CI-container-only. Even self-hosted deployments reach portswigger.net:443 for license activation. Quote-based.
Vooki Pro includes a support portal and email with the license; no SLA is documented. PortSwigger's support model for either Burp product is not covered in the sources reviewed for this page.
You want one tool covering guided web + API scanning, scheduled automation, compliance reporting, and local AI triage under one annual per-domain price, and you'd rather sensitive scan traffic never leave your machine.
Your team's core workflow is hands-on, manual penetration testing — Burp's Repeater, Intruder, and Proxy form a widely-used, deeply capable manual toolkit, and the on-demand scanner is a secondary feature inside that workflow.
You need organization-wide scheduled scanning across many applications with centralized dashboards and multi-user management at scale, and you're prepared for a separate, quote-priced product from your manual testing license.
