Drata pricing breakdown 2026

How much does Drata really cost?

Drata is quoted by sales on employee-count bands and framework count. Entry plans start near USD 7,500 a year and enterprise contracts reach USD 100,000. Implementation, premium support and per-framework fees commonly add another 20 to 35 percent in year one.

Pricing tiers

Drata pricing plans

Drata is also quoted by sales, on employee count and framework count. Entry plans for small teams start near USD 7,500 a year, 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. Implementation packages, per-framework fees and premium support commonly add 20 to 35 percent on top of the licence.

What the quote leaves out

What it would cost here

Free for 2 users, then EUR 79 per user per month. Every framework, every module and the full API are included at every size, so the only variable is how many people need a seat.

The difference that matters

Drata prices on your company headcount. CSFaaS prices on the people who actually open the platform. A 200 person company usually runs its GRC program with a compliance lead, a handful of control owners and an auditor, not 200 licences. You pay for those seats, and the first two are free.

CSFaaS cost by number of platform users. All 40+ frameworks, every module and the API included at every size.

Platform usersBillable seatsPer monthPer year
5 users3EUR 237EUR 2,370
10 users8EUR 632EUR 6,320
25 users23EUR 1,817EUR 18,170
50 users48EUR 3,792EUR 37,920
1 or 2 users0FreeFree

Yearly figures use the annual rate of EUR 790 per seat, which saves about 16 percent against monthly billing. Past roughly 60 platform users, ask us for an Enterprise quote: at that scale SSO, advanced connectors and a dedicated instance usually matter more than the seat count.

Why European teams switch

Built for EU regulation, not retrofitted to it

The gap nobody else covers

The SOC 2 platforms do not do CyFun.

Drata ships NIS2 and DORA mappings now, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What it does not ship is Belgium's CyberFundamentals framework as a gradable assessment: the Basic, Important and Essential assurance levels, the official CCB workbook in and out, and the separate documentation and implementation maturity scores that an assessor actually reads.

CSFaaS ships all of it, in English and French, because CyFun is the route most Belgian and Benelux organisations take to demonstrate NIS2 readiness. That is the difference between a framework you can point at and a framework you can be graded on.

  • CyFun 2025 Basic (79 elements), Important (224) and Essential (330), EN and FR
  • EU NIS2 as a 220-element gradable framework
  • EU DORA 170 elements, in English, French and Spanish
  • GDPR and RGPD in French and Spanish, not a translation layer over an English control set

The honest part

When you should pick Drata

Where Drata beats us

A comparison page that only flatters its author is worth nothing. These are the reasons to pick Drata over CSFaaS, written by us.

  • Automated evidence collection across hundreds of systems is included on every Drata plan. On CSFaaS, advanced connectors are an Enterprise feature.
  • Drata ships an endpoint agent and personnel compliance tracking. CSFaaS does neither.
  • Drata has a hosted trust center product. CSFaaS does not.
  • Drata has an established auditor partner network for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
  • Drata's SOC 2 tooling is more specialised than ours, because SOC 2 is the product it was built around.
Questions

Drata pricing, answered

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 USD 10,000 a year, premium support is USD 8,000 to USD 12,000, and the external audit is separate at USD 10,000 to USD 30,000. Together these commonly add 20 to 35 percent to year one.
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 two 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.
