Drata pricing: the quick answer

Quick answerHigh· Verified July 8, 2026

Drata's own plans page is quote-only, but its AWS Marketplace listing publishes one real anchor: the Foundation Package lists at $25,000 for a 12-month contract, sized for a company of 1 to 50 employees. Pricing is banded by headcount, not seats, so the three tiers scale with how many full-time employees you have (up to 50, then 50 to 200, then 200-plus) and how many frameworks you run. There is no free tier, and adding frameworks beyond the pre-mapped one raises the price. Above the 1-to-50 band, everything routes through a custom quote.

Drata Hidden Costs & Pitfalls

What sits on top of the plan fee

Drata bills by company size and framework count, and the marketplace list price makes the entry band concrete. What is published is the floor, not the whole story.

Foundation lists at $15,000 a year

The public Foundation Package covers a 1-to-50 employee company for $15,000 over a 12-month term. That is the smallest published Drata commitment; a five-person startup and a forty-person one pay the same band price, because the meter is the FTE bracket, not exact headcount.

Frameworks are the upsell

Foundation includes one pre-mapped framework like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Adding more, or bringing a custom framework, scales the price through the Advanced and Enterprise tiers. Budget for every framework you actually need audited, because the second one is where the quote starts to climb.

Bigger headcount leaves the list price

Past 50 employees, Drata moves off the published Foundation band into Advanced and Enterprise, both quoted through a Private Offer with no list rate. Growth in headcount, not usage, is what pushes you into a negotiation.

Checked against current plan data

Positioning

Drata's plans page is sales-led, but AWS Marketplace lists the entry band openly: the Foundation Package is $15,000 for a 12-month term, covering a company of 1 to 50 employees. Foundation limits you to one pre-mapped framework such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001; Advanced and Enterprise open up multiple frameworks, custom controls, and advanced risk workflows, and they scale by headcount band rather than seat. For a single framework at a small company, $15k a year is the price of skipping a dedicated compliance hire. It only earns the premium if you are actually running continuous monitoring across several frameworks.

Cost drivers

1The list price is banded by full-time headcount, so crossing 50 employees moves you off the published Foundation number into a higher, unlisted tier via Private Offer.
2Extra frameworks beyond the one pre-mapped option scale the cost, and custom frameworks on lower tiers can carry an upcharge.
3Drata gets you audit-ready, but the third-party auditor who signs the SOC 2 report bills separately, and a pen test is usually a separate cost too.

Watch-outs

The automation promise frays when integrations stall mid-audit, and the tool does not always save the auditor the time buyers expect.

Strengths

One of the highest G2 ratings in compliance automation.
One of the broadest integration libraries in the category.
The Trust Center feature genuinely speeds up buyer security reviews.

Editor’s take

A fast-growing startup chasing a single SOC 2 badge fits the Foundation band and its $15k list price. Mid-market firms with layered GRC needs will end up on Advanced or Enterprise, where the number is a negotiation, not a list. Get both Drata and its rivals to quote your real headcount and framework count before you sign. If you want a comparably automated alternative with strong brand recognition, price Vanta alongside it.
