Answered a question: Compare Netsparker and OWASP Zap. How Do I Choose?

About me
Co-founder of Xysec Labs, a Singapore-based company. Xysec Labs has developed Appknox - mobile app security scanner that prevents embarrassing data leaks and stops security breaches before they start, by detecting vulnerabilities in mobile apps. Banks, telcos, and other businesses which deal with sensitive consumer data can now improve peace of mind through pre-release testing of their apps. AppKnox Scanner generates a security summary report which identifies security flaws and offers point-by-point advisories to help developers resolve issues before their bugs go public. Appknox is supported by JFDI Asia, an incubator in Singapore and Microsoft Ventures India. Appknox is used by businesses like Myntra, Bigbasket, Quickr etc.
XYSec Labs has many high profile customers and has got an open source framework AFE(Android Framework For exploitation) which is used by many leading colleges around the globe for research purpose.
Prior to co-founding XYSec Labs, I had started a last mile logistics company called ParallelWay. We had enormous traction (over 10000 deliveries made in 3 months) and was voted as one of the most useful startup for E-commerce in Bangalore by YourStory.
I am passionate about exploring opportunities and love to chat about upcoming technologies.
