However, Burp Suite Pro excels in the specific capabilities I need in more ways that OWASP Zap does.Portswigger recently announced their Burp Suite Certified Practitioner certification. Both OWASP Zap and Burp Suite Pro have good sets of capabilities. In my opinion, Burp Suite Pro is better than OWASP Zap because of its features, which I feel make it a better choice for security professionals. Another thing about OWASP Zap I dislike is that the ability to search for text in the request or server response is difficult, while Burp Suite Pro makes it easier and more accessible. OWASP Zap does not include this feature without extensions and a ZAP plugin is required. Another big plus for me with Burp is its Comparer tab,which allows for easier change detection. I like Burp Suite Pro’s interface a lot more than OWASP Zap’s. But it is also worth noting that OWASP Zap has more false positives than Burp Suite Pro. Moreover, Burp Suite Pro includes more coverage than OWASP Zap. In addition, OWASP Zap provides little documentation, which may be why some people prefer Burp Suite Pro (which offers extensive documentation). OWASP Zap is maintained by volunteers whereas Burp Suite Pro is a commercial product maintained and sold by PortSwigger, which makes me feel more confident in it.

OWASP Zap is free, but Burp Suite Pro requires a paid subscription (currently $399 per year). One big difference between the two, though, is price. Both OWASP Zap and PortSwigger Burp Suite Pro have a spider feature, and provide updates. Both are very comparable in terms of intercepting features, fuzzing capabilities, and encoder and decoders. OWASP Zap has web application scanning available with basic security vulnerabilities while Burp Suite Pro has it available with quality security vulnerabilities.

OWASP Zap and PortSwigger Burp Suite Pro have many similar features.
