Vanta pricing: the quick answer
Vanta does not publish prices. All three tiers, Essentials, Plus, and Professional, are quote-only, so you contact sales for a figure. The quote moves on how many frameworks you need (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), your company size, and how much audit support you want. Essentials covers one framework with the Vanta AI Agent; Plus adds access management and 25 AI-powered questionnaires a year; Professional adds risk management and 144 a year. One caveat worth keeping: Vanta prepares you for the audit, it does not replace the independent auditor.
- Essentials$14000/yr, annual

Positioning
Vanta is quote-only. There is no public price on any tier, so budgeting starts with a sales call, not a pricing table. What Vanta sells is audit readiness: automated evidence collection, the Vanta AI Agent, and continuous monitoring that shortens SOC 2 and ISO 27001 prep. Essentials handles a single framework; Plus adds access management and expert partners; Professional adds risk management and custom monitoring for teams scaling a trust program. The quote is driven by framework count, company size, test volume, and support level.
Cost drivers
- 1Separate auditor: Vanta gets you ready, but an independent third-party auditor still runs the actual SOC 2 audit and bills separately.
- 2Penetration testing: a pen test is usually required for compliance and is a separate cost from Vanta.
- 3Partner services: the expert partners reachable on Plus work under their own external contracts, priced apart from Vanta.
Watch-outs
Buyers regularly struggle to see where Vanta's software ends and hired professionals begin. There is also friction between Vanta's automated evidence and the independent auditors who verify it, which can surface as compliance roadblocks late in the process.

What users say
“Vanta seems way cheaper than a normal auditor.”
“you can get Vanta/ Drata for around the same, plus a pen test on top”
Editor’s take
Startups chasing a first SOC 2 badge should ask about Essentials to automate evidence collection. Mid-market teams with complex security workflows will need Professional for custom monitoring and risk dashboards. Since every tier is quote-only, get a number before you commit. If you want an alternative with a more structured, framework-banded path, consider Drata, which is also quote-led but lists a public entry band on AWS Marketplace.
