Vanta Pricing (2026): Observed Cost, Plans & Add-Ons

As of August 19, 2026, Vanta’s AWS Marketplace listing showed 12-month starting costs for 1-20 employees: $14,000 for Essentials, $21,500 for Plus, and $23,000 for Professional. Vanta’s direct site still required personalized pricing. Vendr’s separate customer-contract dataset, retrieved July 24, 2026, observed $7,500-$56,781, with a $20,000 median. Neither source is a universal direct-sales rate card.

How we report Vanta pricing

We separate channel-specific published prices, third-party observations, and unanswered questions so that a scoped marketplace dimension never becomes a universal rate card:

1. AWS Marketplace catalog: Vanta sells three core package dimensions and seven named modules with 12-month costs and explicit scope limits.
2. Direct Vanta pricing: Vanta requests company details and offers personalized pricing without displaying dollar amounts.
3. Observed procurement data: Vendr’s customer-contract range and median.
4. Unknown: larger headcount bands, Enterprise pricing, private-offer discounts, direct contract minimums, billing cadence, and renewal caps remain unknown until documented.

How much does Vanta cost?

Pricing fact	Amount or status	Source	What it means
Direct Vanta pricing	Personalized; no dollar amount	Vanta pricing	A direct sales proposal is required
AWS Essentials starting cost	$14,000 / 12 months	AWS Marketplace	Starting cost for 1-20 employees
AWS Plus starting cost	$21,500 / 12 months	AWS Marketplace	Starting cost for 1-20 employees
AWS Professional starting cost	$23,000 / 12 months	AWS Marketplace	Starting cost for 1-20 employees
Observed annual range	$7,500-$56,781	Vendr Vanta marketplace	Third-party customer-contract data
Observed median	$20,000/year	Vendr Vanta marketplace	Middle observation in Vendr’s data, not a list price
Independent SOC 2 audit	Separate	Vanta product information	A CPA firm issues and prices the report

The AWS figures are starting costs for one employee band and one purchasing channel. The Vendr range spans different companies, frameworks, integrations, services, terms, and negotiations. Neither source sets a universal floor or ceiling for a direct Vanta quote.

What Vanta plans are available?

Vanta’s direct pricing page names Essentials, Plus, Professional, and Enterprise but displays no dollar amount. The Vanta-sold AWS listing publishes the following small-team starting costs:

Plan	Published AWS cost	Published scope	What remains unknown
Essentials	$14,000 / 12 months	Starting cost, 1-20 employees	Larger bands, direct quote, discounts, renewal
Plus	$21,500 / 12 months	Starting cost, 1-20 employees	Larger bands, direct quote, discounts, renewal
Professional	$23,000 / 12 months	Starting cost, 1-20 employees	Larger bands, direct quote, discounts, renewal
Enterprise	Not published	Named on Vanta’s direct page	Price and commercial scope

As reviewed August 19, 2026, Vanta’s plan taxonomy was inconsistent across the direct page: four plan cards appeared above a feature matrix that also contained a separate Pro column. The AWS listing priced Essentials, Plus, and Professional only. Ask Vanta to map the quoted package to the current feature matrix instead of assuming Professional and Pro are interchangeable.

Which Vanta add-on prices are published?

AWS Marketplace lists seven Vanta modules from $6,000 to $22,250 per 12-month contract, each with a named scope:

Module	Published AWS cost	Published scope
Trust Center	$6,000	1-20 employees
AWS FTR	$7,500	AWS Foundational Technical Review module
Questionnaire Automation	$10,000	144 questionnaires per year
Trust Center Advanced	$10,000	1-20 employees
Third Party Risk Management	$13,600	Up to 50 vendors managed per year
Questionnaire Automation Advanced	$16,000	288 questionnaires per year
Customer Trust Management	$22,250	Trust Center Advanced plus Questionnaire Automation Advanced

These module prices do not prove that every module is compatible with every plan, that the listed allowance fits the buyer, or that a private offer will use the same total.

What does Vanta cost per month?

The three published AWS starting costs convert to these budget equivalents:

12-month AWS starting cost	Monthly equivalent
$14,000 Essentials	About $1,167
$21,500 Plus	About $1,792
$23,000 Professional	About $1,917

Vendr’s broader observed range converts to about $625-$4,732 per month, with a median equivalent of about $1,667. Both calculations divide a 12-month or annual figure by 12; neither establishes monthly billing, a monthly contract, or a cancellation right.

What can increase a Vanta quote?

Ask Vanta to separate each of these lines rather than return one bundled total:

• Frameworks: standards included now, future additions, and any framework limits.
• Company and system scope: employees, entities, cloud accounts, repositories, endpoints, and vendors.
• Integrations: required connectors, custom work, and evidence depth for each in-scope system.
• Optional products: compare the required trust-center, questionnaire, vendor-risk, and AWS FTR allowances against the scoped AWS dimensions rather than assuming the base plan includes them.
• Enterprise administration: Vanta documents SCIM push provisioning but says it may require an upgrade or add-on; the exact tier and price were not published in the reviewed source set.
• Implementation and support: what Vanta performs, what a partner performs, response commitments, and any one-time charge.
• Contract terms: term length, payment schedule, renewal notice, uplift cap, and price protection after scope changes.
• Audit: the independent CPA firm’s separate fee, timeline, and deliverable.

Do not add a generic percentage for any unknown line. Request the number, or leave it unknown in the budget.

Compare Vanta quotes on the same scope

Send each shortlisted vendor the same scope and convert each proposal into this table:

Quote field	Vanta response to record
Legal entities and employee count	Included scope and overage rule
Frameworks	Included now; priced later
Required integrations	Included, custom, unsupported, or usage-limited
Trust center and questionnaires	Included or separate line
SSO, RBAC, and SCIM	Included tier, add-on, or unavailable
Implementation	Named work, owner, fee, and completion criteria
Support	Channel, response commitment, and named contact
Contract	Initial term, renewal term, notice, and uplift cap
CPA audit	Separate vendor, separate fee, separate engagement

The comparable number is the total for the same required scope and term. A lower base quote can be more expensive after required modules are added; a higher quote can be better value if it replaces work the buyer would otherwise purchase separately.

What Vanta plans are available?

Vanta’s direct page names Essentials, Plus, Professional, and Enterprise; its feature matrix also contains Pro. AWS Marketplace publishes scoped prices for Essentials, Plus, and Professional, but no Enterprise price.

What does Vanta cost per month?

The AWS starting costs equal about $1,167 per month for Essentials, $1,792 for Plus, and $1,917 for Professional when divided by 12. These are budget equivalents for 12-month contracts, not evidence of monthly billing.

Framework scope, company and system scope, optional products, implementation, support, contract terms, and enterprise administration can change the total. AWS publishes seven scoped module prices, but SCIM’s required tier or add-on price remains unpublished.

Does Vanta pricing include the SOC 2 audit?

No. Vanta organizes evidence; an independent licensed CPA firm examines the controls and issues the SOC 2 report under a separate engagement.

Next step

Use the AWS dimensions to test small-team package and module costs, use the Vendr range as broader market context, then require an itemized quote. If the remaining question is whether the product is worth that quote, continue to the Vanta review. If the decision is specifically between two products, use the Vanta vs Drata comparison or Vanta vs Delve comparison after both proposals have been normalized.
