Fensivo vs. Smartfense

    Fensivo vs Smartfense

    Smartfense trains your employees with a broad catalog of Spanish-language content. Fensivo validates that behavior changed, with an automatic retest and credential monitoring included in the core, at a public price.

    Live in 1 dayRetest-validatedPublic pricing from USD 6.50

    Smartfense is a cybersecurity awareness platform founded in 2016, Argentine in origin and headquartered in León, Spain, that sells mostly through more than 70 partners across LATAM, Spain and Portugal. Fensivo is a human risk management platform for companies of 25 to 500 employees in LATAM, with public pricing from USD 6.50 per employee per month. The core difference: Smartfense trains with teachable moments; Fensivo validates behavior change with an automatic targeted retest and monitors leaked credentials from the core.

    Behavior change validation

    Smartfense follows the traditional awareness model: simulation plus training. When a user falls for a simulated lure, the platform shows a teachable moment at that instant, and follow-up on repeat offenders is assembled by hand: the administrator configures smart groups (for example, users who fell for more than five simulations in the last year) and targets new campaigns at them. Smartfense does not publish an automatic targeted retest after the failure.

    Fensivo closes the cycle with no manual intervention. When someone falls for a simulation, they receive attack-specific microlearning within minutes, and three weeks later the system automatically sends a simulation of the same category and sophistication but with a different template. That validates that the person learned the lesson, not that they remembered one email. Peer-reviewed studies (Ho et al., IEEE S&P 2025; Lain et al., IEEE S&P 2022) show that completing training does not by itself predict a reduction in real failures: what demonstrates change is testing the behavior again.

    Leaked credential monitoring

    Smartfense does not offer native dark web monitoring. According to its integrations page and its plans page, the topic is covered with two pieces: an integration with Beygoo, a third-party platform that enriches scoring reports and that is included only in the Estándar plan, and an optional component called credential exfiltration, available only on that plan and quoted separately.

    In Fensivo, continuous monitoring is a core engine, not an add-on or a high tier: 24/7 monitoring of public breach databases and the dark web to detect leaked employee credentials, with automatic response by risk bands and remediation deadlines. It cuts reaction time from months to hours and delivers value from day one, in every plan. Leaked credentials also feed simulation matching: the output of one engine improves the others.

    Pricing transparency and simplicity of operation

    Smartfense structures its offering into three plans (Simulaciones, Básico and Estándar) without publishing pricing, and quotes components such as the multi-tenant portal, regulatory management and credential exfiltration separately. Its sales rely on a channel of more than 70 partners and integrators across LATAM, Spain and Portugal, which adds an intermediary between the product and the customer. It is a model with track record, but knowing the total cost requires going through a quote.

    Fensivo publishes its pricing, with the full cycle included: from USD 6.50 per employee per month, on a 12-month annual contract, minimum 25 employees. Implementation is self-service via OAuth with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with no intermediaries and no deployment project, designed for teams of 25 to 500 employees without a dedicated analyst.

    Why teams choose Fensivo

    The retest is automatic, not a campaign someone has to build

    In Smartfense, following up on whoever fell for a lure depends on the administrator configuring smart groups and targeting new campaigns at them. In Fensivo, the targeted retest fires on its own, three weeks later, with a different template of the same category, and the failure activates a risk floor that only lifts after passing several consecutive simulations.

    Credentials watched from the core, with no third parties or separate quotes

    Smartfense covers this front with a third-party integration (Beygoo) and an optional component quoted separately, both only on its Estándar plan. In Fensivo, continuous monitoring of breaches and the dark web is included in the core, delivers value from day one and feeds simulation personalization.

    You know the price before talking to anyone

    Smartfense does not publish pricing and sells mainly through partners, one more intermediary in every quote and every renewal. Fensivo publishes its pricing from USD 6.50 per employee per month and deploys self-service via OAuth, with no deployment project and no channel in between.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the main difference between Fensivo and Smartfense?

    Smartfense is a traditional awareness platform: simulations, multi-format training and teachable moments, sold mostly via partners. Fensivo is human risk management with a closed cycle: every failure triggers microlearning and an automatic retest three weeks later that validates behavior change, plus leaked credential monitoring included in the core.

    How much does Smartfense cost compared to Fensivo?

    Smartfense does not publish pricing: it offers three plans (Simulaciones, Básico and Estándar) quoted through its partners, with optional components quoted separately. Fensivo publishes its pricing: from USD 6.50 per employee per month, on a 12-month annual contract and with a minimum of 25 employees for the scoring to be valid.

    Which Spanish variant do Fensivo and Smartfense use?

    Smartfense's site defaults to Peninsular Spanish, using the awareness vocabulary that is standard in Spain, and its LATAM version lives in the es-ar subfolder, with headquarters in León, Spain. Fensivo is built natively for LATAM and in Spanish, not translated: awareness, training and templates designed for the region.

    When Smartfense may be the better fit

    If your organization already works with one of Smartfense's more than 70 regional partners or MSSPs and wants that same channel to run the awareness program, with a broad catalog of Spanish-language content (interactive modules, videos, video games, comics and newsletters) and full white labeling, Smartfense is a coherent option: it is a proven model since 2016, with large published customers in the region. If instead you are looking to validate behavior change with an automatic retest, monitor leaked credentials without separately quoted components and know the price before the first call, that is Fensivo's proposition.

    Validate your team's behavior under real pressure, with public pricing and no intermediaries. Fensivo deploys in minutes via OAuth with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
