Drata pricing
Drata pricing, without the sales call
Drata quotes on employee-count bands and framework count, and publishes none of it. Every tier drawn to scale, year one added up including the fees that arrive after the licence, and the same program costed on CSFaaS.

The short answer
Entry plans from USD 7,500, median contract around USD 25,000. Implementation, per-framework fees and premium support commonly add 20 to 35 percent before the auditor invoices.

What Drata quotes
Also quoted by sales, on employee count and framework count. Entry plans start near USD 7,500 a year, the mid tier lands between USD 15,000 and 25,000, and enterprise contracts run to USD 100,000.
Negotiated quotes, not list prices. The width of each bar is what Drata will not tell you before a sales cycle.

The part nobody totals
Year one, added up
The same two-framework program, line by line. Auditor and pen-test fees sit outside both totals because they cost the same whoever sells you the platform.

Paid to your auditor and your tester, never to a platform vendor. They are the same number whichever tool you pick, so any comparison that puts them in one column and not the other is selling you something.
The same scope, priced here
You pay for seats, not headcount
Free for 1 user, then EUR 79 per user per month. Every framework, every module and the API included at every size.
Drata prices on your whole headcount. CSFaaS prices on the people who open the platform: usually a compliance lead, a few control owners and an auditor.
People who need a seat
10 users minus 1 free seat is 9 billable at EUR 790 a year each. Every framework, every module, the API and the MCP server are included at every size. Past roughly 60 users, ask for an Enterprise quote.

Where the two differ
Sixteen criteria in three groups, including the three we lose.
What you pay, and what moves it
The pricing model decides the long-run cost far more than the sticker does.

Why European teams move
Built for EU regulation, not retrofitted to it
The SOC 2 platforms do not do CyFun.
Drata ships NIS2 and DORA mappings, and we will not pretend otherwise. What it does not ship is Belgium's CyberFundamentals framework as a gradable assessment: the three assurance levels, the official CCB workbook in and out, and the documentation and implementation maturity scores an assessor reads.
CSFaaS ships all of it, in English and French, because CyFun is how most Belgian and Benelux organisations demonstrate NIS2 readiness.

The counterpoint
When Drata is the right answer
Written by us. A comparison that only flatters its author is worth nothing.
Drata
Buy theirs if
You want Vanta-class automation at a slightly lower entry price and your obligations stop at SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
- A larger integration library than our 100+ connectors, with HR and device coverage for personnel controls.
- An endpoint agent and personnel compliance tracking. CSFaaS ships neither.
- A hosted trust center product. CSFaaS does not have one.
- An established auditor partner network for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
- SOC 2 tooling built around that one outcome, so it is more specialised than ours.
Questions
What buyers actually ask
How much does Drata cost per year?
Drata entry plans start near USD 7,500 a year for small teams, the mid tier lands between USD 15,000 and USD 25,000, and enterprise contracts run from USD 25,000 to USD 100,000. Procurement data puts the median contract around USD 25,000.
What are the hidden costs of Drata?
Implementation packages run up to USD 25,000, each additional framework costs USD 3,000 to 10,000 a year, and premium support is USD 8,000 to 12,000. Together these commonly add 20 to 35 percent to year one. The external audit at USD 10,000 to 30,000 is separate again and is paid to your auditor, not to Drata.
Does Drata charge per user?
Drata prices in employee-count bands rather than per platform user, so your bill tracks your total headcount. CSFaaS charges only for the people who actually have a seat, with the first user free.
Is Drata or CSFaaS better for NIS2 and DORA?
Drata supports DORA and covers NIS2 through framework mapping, which is genuine coverage. CSFaaS ships NIS2 as a 220-element gradable framework, DORA in English, French and Spanish, and CyFun 2025 at all three assurance levels, which Drata does not offer at all.
Does Drata include the API on every plan?
No. API access sits on the Advanced tier and above. CSFaaS includes the full read and write REST API plus an MCP server on every seat, free tier included.
How these numbers were built
None of these vendors publish a price list. Every figure is a range from public procurement data and the vendors' own pages, last checked in September 2026. Budget with it; your own quote is the only number that counts.
