Vanta pricing
Vanta pricing, without the sales call
Vanta publishes no price list, so this page rebuilds one: every tier drawn to scale, year one added up line by line, and the same program costed on CSFaaS next to it.
VantaCSFaaS
The short answer
Median contract near USD 20,000 a year. A two-framework program lands around USD 27,000 to 75,000 in year one before the auditor invoices. None of it is published.

What Vanta quotes
No price list. Sales quotes each deal on your employee count, the frameworks you need and the add-ons you take: roughly USD 10,000 for one framework at seed stage, USD 80,000 and beyond for multi-framework enterprise programs.
Negotiated quotes, not list prices. The width of each bar is what Vanta 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.
Vanta 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.

Sixteen criteria in three groups, including the three we lose.
What you pay, and what moves it

Why European teams move
Built for EU regulation, not retrofitted to it
The SOC 2 platforms do not do CyFun.
Vanta 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 Vanta is the right answer
Written by us. A comparison that only flatters its author is worth nothing.
Vanta
Buy theirs if
Your buyers are US enterprises, SOC 2 is the only framework that matters, and you want the deepest integration library in the category.
- A larger integration library: hundreds of connectors, including HR and device systems, against our 100+.
- An endpoint agent and security awareness training. CSFaaS ships neither.
- A hosted trust center as a product. CSFaaS has policy share links.
- An auditor and penetration-testing partner network wired into the platform.
- If your buyers are US enterprises, the Vanta name shortens security reviews on its own.
Questions
What buyers actually ask
How much does Vanta cost per year?
Public procurement data puts Vanta between roughly USD 10,000 a year for a single framework at seed stage and USD 80,000 or more for multi-framework enterprise programs, with a median contract near USD 20,000. Vanta does not publish a price list, so every figure is a negotiated quote based on your headcount and framework count.
Does Vanta publish its pricing?
No. Vanta requires a sales conversation and quotes each customer individually. CSFaaS publishes its price: free for the first user, then EUR 79 per user per month with every framework included.
What is the real year-one cost of Vanta?
On the Growth tier with two frameworks, the vendor side lands around USD 27,000 to 75,000 once you add the second framework and an onboarding package. On top of that sit the external audit at USD 10,000 to 50,000 and a penetration test at USD 5,000 to 15,000. Those two are paid to third parties rather than to Vanta, and they cost the same whichever platform you buy.
Is Vanta cheaper than CSFaaS?
It depends on what you are counting. Vanta prices on company headcount and per framework. CSFaaS prices on platform users only. A 200-person company with a 12-person compliance group pays around EUR 7,900 a year on CSFaaS with all 40+ frameworks included, against a Vanta quote in the USD 35,000 to 60,000 range for a single framework. If your whole company needs a seat, the gap narrows and you should ask us for an Enterprise quote.
Does Vanta support CyFun, NIS2 and DORA?
Vanta ships NIS2 and DORA framework mappings. It does not offer Belgium's CyberFundamentals (CyFun) as a gradable framework. CSFaaS ships CyFun 2025 Basic, Important and Essential in English and French with the official CCB workbook import and export.
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.
