Cloud security (Wiz, Orca, Lacework) and compliance platforms (Drata, OneTrust) do not publish per-seat rates. Deals are structured around seat count, cloud workload size, and contract length. Published figures represent entry-level tiers only.
42% of IAM tools offer a free plan. Okta, Tailscale, Twingate, JumpCloud, Clerk, and Descope all provide free access for small teams. This reflects a land-and-expand GTM common in identity tooling.
Vanta and Secureframe start around $6,000-$7,500/yr for SOC 2 Type II readiness. Platforms that bundle ISO 27001 alongside SOC 2 typically add 30-50% to the base contract.
SentinelOne starts at $69.99/device/yr, CrowdStrike Falcon at $59.99/device/yr. Monthly billing is generally not available in this segment. Volume discounts apply above 100 endpoints in most vendor contracts.
