None of the three lists a penetration test on its pricing page, and none publishes an audit fee.

Integrations stated

Vanta says 400+ tools. Secureframe says 300+. Drata's integrations page says "hundreds of tools" without a count.

Which to price first

If you need one framework and want a published starting point, Secureframe Fundamentals is the only plan of the three with a number.
If you answer many security questionnaires, Vanta is the one of the three that publishes allowances, so you can pick the tier before the call.
If you are under 50 FTEs and need one of five common frameworks, Drata's Foundation card tells you it fits before anyone quotes.

How they score

On the price transparency ranking, among the seven vendors we cover, Secureframe ranks 1, Vanta 4 and Drata 5; on what the price buys they rank 2, 4 and 6. Secureframe leads on pricing transparency; Vanta on questionnaire allowance; Drata on stated plan limits. The pair pages show every row: Secureframe vs Vanta, Drata vs Vanta and Drata vs Secureframe.

What none of the three publishes

An audit fee.
The price of a second framework.
A headcount rule, apart from Drata's 50 FTE cap on Foundation.
A penetration test.

These are the lines to add to your quote request for all three, so the answers come back in the same form.

Six figures to ask for

Ask each vendor for the price of the tier the calculator suggests, the price of the next tier up, and the renewal terms. With those figures you can compare the three on the same basis, even though only one publishes a price.

The takeaway

Only one of the three gives you a number, but all three give you enough to choose the tier you should be quoted. Run your inputs through the calculator and ask each vendor for the same scope.
