Short answer: OneTrust does not publish public pricing. Based on reported ranges and buyer communities, OneTrust runs ~$20,000 to $150,000+ per year, quoted by company size and framework count behind a sales call. Strac Comply publishes a flat ladder instead: $4,995 Platform, $8,995 Certified with the SOC 2 audit, and $12,995 Security-First with a penetration test and DLP (Data Loss Prevention). This post breaks down every line item so you can compare apples to apples.
One clarification, since this post lives on Strac.io. Every price here is a Strac Comply plan, the alternative to OneTrust: $4,995 for the platform, $8,995 with the SOC 2 audit included, and $12,995 with a penetration test and Strac DLP for Slack, Google Workspace, and AI tools. Strac also sells a separate data-security platform, endpoint DLP, cloud DSPM (sensitive data discovery), and MCP DLP, so $4,995 is not the price of Strac’s DLP or DSPM.
OneTrust keeps pricing behind a sales call, so the numbers below come from buyers and third-party sources, not an official price list. They scale with headcount and the frameworks you turn on.
| Cost component | Typical market range | With Strac Comply |
| OneTrust base platform (reported) | ~$20,000 to $150,000+ per year | $4,995 / year, published |
| Per-framework add-on fees | Commonly charged | None. All 5 frameworks included |
| SOC 2 audit (independent CPA) | Separate vendor, separate fee | Included on $8,995 Certified |
| Penetration test + DLP | Separate vendors | Included on $12,995 Security-First |
| What you can budget today | A quote, after a call | $4,995 / $8,995 / $12,995, published |

OneTrust does not publish these figures, so the numbers below are what buyers, resellers, and review sites report. Treat them as estimates that move with your headcount and framework count. Strac Comply, by contrast, is on the last row at a price you can read today.
| OneTrust plan | Reported annual price |
| Modules (privacy, GRC, consent) | Priced separately, reported ~$20,000 to $150,000+ / year total |
| Implementation | Often a separate professional-services fee |
| Published pricing | None, sales-led |
| Strac Comply (every plan, published) | $4,995 Platform / $8,995 Certified / $12,995 Security-First, all 5 frameworks |
The capability overlap is real: both automate evidence and monitor controls. The difference buyers feel is transparency and scope. Strac Comply publishes its price; OneTrust does not. Strac Comply includes all five frameworks with no per-framework fees, bundles the SOC 2 audit on one invoice at $8,995, and adds an MCP server so you can run compliance from Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, which OneTrust cannot do. If that trade makes sense for your team, you can start free today, no sales call.
Strac Comply publishes at $4,995 what OneTrust quotes behind a call, and includes more.
Strac Comply runs 100-plus automated checks across five frameworks, and every failure names the exact remediation, for a price you can see without talking to sales, unlike OneTrust.
The MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex report what is failing and fix it in the terminal. OneTrust has no equivalent.
Strac Comply finds the unmanaged SaaS and AI tools in use so they do not become audit gaps, included on the $12,995 Security-First plan.
Prospects pull your SOC 2 or ISO report from the trust portal and you approve in a click, no emailed PDFs.
vendor risk scoring is reproducible and sits with your evidence, with AI-drafted questionnaire answers, where OneTrust often charges for add-ons.
Because Strac is a data-security platform, Strac Comply discovers sensitive data and governs AI access, mapped to specific controls like SOC 2 CC6.7 and PCI 12.5.2, a depth of data-security enforcement most compliance tools do not match.
Strac Comply publishes its full price ladder, no sales call required to see a number:
Every plan covers up to 10 employees (11 to 200 adds $1,995 a year) and has no per-framework fees. Platform is self-serve; Certified and Security-First are set up on a short call. Backed by Y Combinator.

OneTrust does not publish public pricing; based on reported ranges it runs ~$20,000 to $150,000+ per year, quoted by company size and framework count behind a sales call. Strac Comply publishes $4,995 Platform (all five frameworks), $8,995 Certified with the SOC 2 audit, and $12,995 Security-First with a penetration test and DLP.
Sales-led pricing lets the number move with your company size and the frameworks you add, which is hard to compare and favors the vendor. Strac Comply publishes $4,995, $8,995, and $12,995 so you can budget without a call.
On published price, yes. Strac Comply is $4,995 per year for all five frameworks with no per-framework fees, while OneTrust is reported at ~$20,000 to $150,000+ per year and commonly adds per-framework costs.
Nothing you will miss, and you gain what OneTrust cannot sell you. This is not the budget option, it is the better one that happens to be transparently priced. Strac Comply is self-serve (start free, no sales call to see a number) with 100+ automated tests across all five frameworks, an MCP server, a trust portal, and vendor risk. The real difference: Strac Comply is built by a data-security company, so the same platform brings real DSPM and DLP that discovers and redacts PII, PHI, and secrets across SaaS, cloud, and endpoints, plus agentic AI security like shadow-AI discovery, MCP DLP, and guardrails on what AI agents can reach. Security-First at $12,995 bundles Strac DLP for Slack, Google Workspace, and AI tools. Most compliance tools stop at a checklist; Strac Comply backs them with the data-security product underneath.
A flat-priced platform that bundles readiness, tooling, and (on the Certified plan) the audit is the cheapest route. Strac Comply is $4,995 per year for the Platform and $8,995 Certified with the audit, all five frameworks included and up to 10 employees, versus sales-led tools that quote $7,500 to $30,000 or more before the audit.
Yes. Strac Comply is $4,995 per year, self-serve with a 14-day free trial and no sales call, backed by Y Combinator. For a small team it is usually a fraction of a Vanta or Drata quote, which is why budget-conscious startups pick it.
No, and with Strac Comply it is the opposite. Strac Comply is self-serve and transparently priced, but it is built by a data-security company. Behind the compliance automation sits real DSPM and DLP that discovers and redacts PII, PHI, and secrets across SaaS, cloud, and endpoints, plus agentic AI security such as shadow-AI discovery and MCP DLP. Most compliance tools stop at a checklist. You pay less and get the data-security platform that actually proves the controls.
