Vanta pricing breakdown 2026

How much does Vanta really cost?

Vanta does not publish a price. Quotes run from around USD 10,000 a year for a single framework to USD 80,000 and beyond, driven by your employee count and how many frameworks you need. Here is the full picture, including the line items that never appear in the first conversation.

Pricing tiers

Vanta pricing plans

Vanta does not publish a price. Every deal is quoted by sales against your employee count, the frameworks you need and the add-ons you take. Public procurement data puts the median contract near USD 20,000 a year, with quotes running from roughly USD 10,000 for a single framework at seed stage to USD 80,000 and beyond for multi-framework enterprise programs. Each additional framework is a separate line item, and the audit itself is never included.

What the quote leaves out

The costs that arrive after the licence

Base pricing is the start of the conversation, not the end of it. Budget for these before you compare Vanta with anything else.

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

Vanta 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.

Vanta 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 Vanta

Where Vanta beats us

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

  • Automated evidence collection is far broader out of the box. Vanta connects to hundreds of systems on every plan, while CSFaaS ships advanced connectors on the Enterprise plan only.
  • Vanta runs an endpoint agent and security-awareness training. CSFaaS does neither.
  • Vanta publishes a hosted trust center as a product. CSFaaS has policy share links, not a trust center.
  • Vanta has 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

Vanta pricing, answered

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 two users, then EUR 79 per user per month with every framework included.
What costs are not included in Vanta pricing?
The external audit is paid to your auditor, typically USD 10,000 to USD 50,000. A penetration test runs USD 5,000 to USD 15,000. Each additional framework starts around USD 5,000 a year, and implementation or onboarding packages run USD 2,000 to USD 10,000.
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 USD 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.
