-Jetpack Protect and Scan do not have any limit on the number of plugins and themes you can scan. WPScan has a daily cap based on your API usage.
+Jetpack Protect is a new WordPress security plugin from Jetpack containing our security features only. You can start with Jetpack Protect’s free vulnerability scanning features and upgrade Jetpack Protect to access automated malware scanning and our web application firewall. By upgrading Protect, you are enabling Jetpack Scan to the plugin.
 
-For now, in Jetpack Protect, you can track your scan results only through the plugin’s dashboard. Jetpack Scan and WPScan have additional notifications such as email.
+Jetpack Scan is a product that can be purchased for use in conjunction with the main Jetpack plugin or Jetpack Protect. Jetpack Scan includes automated malware scanning and our web application firewall but does not contain the vulnerability scanning feature from the Protect plugin. If you purchase Jetpack Security or Jetpack Complete, Jetpack Scan is also included in those bundles.
 
-Jetpack Protect runs daily automated scans. Jetpack Scan and WPScan provide on-demand scan options on top of automatic scans.
+If you are already a Jetpack Scan, Jetpack Security, or Jetpack Complete customer, you can also take advantage of Jetpack Protect’s vulnerability scanning feature by installing the Jetpack Protect plugin.
 
-Jetpack Scan has one-click fixers for most vulnerabilities. Protect does not have any fixers at this time, but it provides “how-to-fix” guides so that you can fix vulnerabilities manually.
+WPScan is an enterprise vulnerability scanning solution. It is not recommended for small to medium-sized businesses. If you are an enterprise company looking for custom WordPress site protection solutions, please visit: https://wpscan.com/
 
-Jetpack Protect and WPScans are standalone plugins that don’t need additional plugins to run, while Jetpack Scan needs the [Jetpack plugin](https://jetpack.com/) to work.
