Short answer: Vanta does not publish public pricing. Based on reported ranges and buyer communities, Vanta runs ~$7,500 to $30,000+ 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. This post breaks down every line item so you can compare apples to apples.
One clarification, because this post lives on Strac.io. The prices here are for Strac Comply, Strac’s compliance product: $4,995 Platform, $8,995 Certified (adds the SOC 2 audit and a human vCISO), and $12,995 Security-First (adds a penetration test plus Strac DLP for Slack, Google Workspace, and AI tools). The full Strac data-security platform, endpoint DLP, cloud DSPM, and MCP DLP, is licensed separately. So $4,995 is the price of Strac Comply, not of Strac’s DLP or DSPM.
Vanta 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 |
| Vanta base platform (reported) | ~$7,500 to $30,000+ 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 |
The capability overlap is real: both automate evidence and monitor controls. The difference buyers feel is transparency and scope. Strac Comply publishes its price, includes all five frameworks with no per-framework fees, and adds an MCP server so you can run compliance from Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, which Vanta does not offer. See the full comparison on our alternatives guide.
Strac Comply publishes at $4,995 what Vanta quotes behind a call, and includes more.
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), includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card, 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.

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 Vanta is reported at ~$7,500 to $30,000+ per year and commonly adds per-framework costs.
Not much that matters. Strac Comply at $4,995 includes 100-plus automated tests, an MCP server, a trust portal, vendor risk, and data-security checks, plus a free trial with no sales call on Platform.
