Several tools follow this model, but its important to remember that most tools are frameworks where a certain amount of features are "free" through wizards etc. - while taking full advantage of it will require you to play with it in labs, explore each module in a scenario where its actually successful and learn how to tune the different settings to take full advantage of the framework as a whole - and by this giving your customers more value.

Also, most tools have good SDKs for custom modules.
Learn these, and you're able to write your own modules, import exploits and/or rewrite exploits that might be written only for one application to maybe work against other applications or on other operating systems as well.

There are some free tools out there though, if money is the issue.

Cheers,

Thinking out of the box I wonder if there are any pay-per-use pentesting

time testing. Are there any tools currently available in this model?.

Thanks
