Looking for a Vanta alternative? First, check which artifact you actually need.
The comparison that matters is not feature-by-feature. It is whether your customer is asking for a SOC 2 Type II report or for a business associate agreement plus evidence of HIPAA safeguards. Those are different purchases, and picking the wrong one is expensive in both directions. The same reasoning applies to Drata and Sprinto, which sell the same SOC 2-first motion.
Stay with Vanta if…
- A customer has specifically demanded a SOC 2 Type II report. No software substitutes for that audit, and we do not pretend to.
- You are selling into enterprises that expect a full trust centre and a broad control framework beyond healthcare.
- You need evidence collected across AWS, HR systems, endpoint management and a long list of SaaS tools.
- The budget for compliance tooling is already five figures, and a broader framework is genuinely on the roadmap.
Switch to us if…
- Your client wants a signed business associate agreement and proof of a HIPAA programme, which is what most healthcare buyers actually ask for.
- You are a billing company, a healthcare vendor or an MSP, and a five-figure platform is out of proportion to the deal.
- You want to sign up with a card today rather than book a demo for next week.
- You manage compliance for several client organizations and need one console across them, priced per client.

Being straight with you
Vanta, Drata and Sprinto are better products than us at the thing they are built for, and if your buyer wants a SOC 2 report you should buy one of them rather than us. We are not an audit platform and will never produce that report. Note also that none of them publishes fixed list pricing — the figures above reflect commonly reported ranges rather than an offer, so get a current quote before comparing on cost.

- Does SOC 2 mean HIPAA compliant?
- No. A SOC 2 Type II report is an audit opinion issued by a CPA firm about how you run your controls over a period. HIPAA has no equivalent report and no certification — what a healthcare client asks for is a signed business associate agreement plus evidence that you run a security programme. Some enterprises want both, but they are separate purchases, and buying the wrong one first is this category's expensive mistake.
- What is better than SOC 2 compliance?
- Nothing is 'better' — they answer different requests. If your buyer names SOC 2 Type II, you need the audit and no software substitutes for it; Vanta, Drata and Sprinto are built for exactly that. If your buyer asks you to sign a BAA or attaches a HIPAA security addendum, HIPAA evidence is what answers it — the cheaper half, and the underlying work overlaps enough that nothing is wasted if you add SOC 2 later.
