Vanta alternative
How much does Vanta really cost?
Vanta does not publish its prices. Every quote goes through a sales call, and the platform fee is only the start. Here is what teams report paying — and a transparent, EU-native way to get compliant for a fraction of the cost.
What Vanta costs, based on public reports
Vanta's pricing is not listed on its site. The ranges below come from public reports and buyer reviews, so treat them as estimates, not quotes. Audit fees are billed separately.
| Tier | Reported yearly price | What buyers report |
|---|---|---|
| Entry — one framework | ≈ $10k–12k / yr | One framework, small team. The auditor is not included. |
| Mid-market | ≈ $25k–55k / yr | More frameworks, more integrations, and paid add-ons. |
| Enterprise | $80k–250k+ / yr | Large scope, premium support, and custom work. |

The costs the quote does not show
The platform fee is rarely the full bill. These extras add up fast, and most only surface after you sign.
Audit fees on top
The subscription does not pay your auditor. Budget another $10k–50k for the audit itself, every year.
Pay per framework
Each new framework — ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR — is usually a separate line item. Costs climb as you grow.
Onboarding and add-ons
Onboarding, premium support, and custom integrations often sit behind higher tiers or one-off fees.
Renewal creep
Sales-gated pricing makes renewals hard to predict. Many buyers report the bill rising year over year.
The alternative
Matproof: transparent, EU-native, a fraction of the cost
Matproof is compliance-automation software built and hosted in Europe. You get the same evidence automation and audit-readiness — without the US-first focus, the sales maze, or the enterprise price tag.
A fraction of the cost
Clear value instead of sales-gated quotes. Most teams pay far less than a Vanta contract.
EU-native by design
DORA, NIS2, GDPR, and BaFin MaRisk are first-class — not a bolt-on to a US product.
Data stays in the EU
Your evidence is hosted in EU data centres, in line with GDPR. Nothing leaves the EEA.
AI-native
AI maps your controls, drafts policies, and flags gaps — so audit prep takes weeks, not quarters.
Open evidence
Every control links to the evidence behind it. Share a read-only link with your auditor. No black box.
One platform, many frameworks
Run overlapping frameworks together and reuse controls, instead of paying per framework.

Vanta pricing and alternatives — FAQ
How much does Vanta cost?
Vanta does not publish prices. Public reports put entry plans near $10k–12k a year for a single framework at a small company, rising to $25k–55k in the mid-market and $80k–250k or more for enterprises. Audit fees are separate. These are estimates — ask Vanta for a quote.

Yes. Matproof is compliance-automation software that delivers evidence automation and audit-readiness for a fraction of a typical Vanta contract, with transparent value instead of sales-gated pricing.
Does Vanta cover DORA and NIS2?
Vanta is US-first and built around SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Matproof is EU-native, with DORA, NIS2, GDPR, and BaFin MaRisk as first-class frameworks and EU data residency by default.
Is my data stored in the EU?
With Matproof, yes. Your evidence is hosted in EU data centres in line with GDPR, and never transferred outside the EEA. Many US-first platforms host in the US by default.
Why choose Matproof over Vanta?
Choose Matproof if you want EU-native frameworks, EU data residency, AI-native automation, open evidence, and transparent value — without a US-first product or an enterprise price tag.
