How to choose website malware scanning tools
Website malware scanners mostly differ on four points.
Platform coverage. Check whether the tool fits your stack first. MalCare is a WordPress plugin, so it only makes sense for WordPress sites. Sucuri is pitched at any CMS, and SiteLock is aimed at small business sites in general.
Scanning only, or the full stack. All three handle malware detection and cleanup. Sucuri and SiteLock also include a web application firewall (WAF) and a CDN, so they can sit in front of your site. MalCare pairs scanning with a firewall and one-click cleanup inside WordPress.
Pricing model. MalCare is the only freemium option here, with paid plans from $8.25/mo. Sucuri starts at $9.99/mo and SiteLock at $19.99/mo. Both are paid only.
API access. MalCare is the only listed tool with an API. That matters if you manage many sites or want scan results in your own dashboards.
We haven't tested these tools ourselves. Check current plan details on each vendor's site before you buy.
