Strike Graph Alternatives and Competitors by Price

The best Strike Graph alternative depends on which part of the bill you want to cut. Strike Graph prints its prices: Scale starts at $21,500 a year and Enterprise at $35,000, with extra frameworks, vendor risk, pen tests and the audit priced on top. If you want the same automation category for less, Secureframe publishes $7,500 a year for one framework and Hicomply publishes $6,995. If you want SOC 2 and ISO 27001 run on one control set for a small team, Complies publishes $47 to $499 a month with five frameworks cross-mapped from $119. If you need CMMC Level 2 or HITRUST, stay with a vendor that maintains those frameworks.

People rarely search for a Strike Graph alternative before they have seen a number. The usual trigger is a quote: Scale at $21,500, a second framework at $2,000 to $8,000, Trust Chain vendor risk from $7,500, a $10,000 penetration test, and then the auditor on top. That adds up to $30,000 to $40,000 in year one for a company that only needed SOC 2 and ISO 27001. This guide compares the platforms worth pricing next to it, using figures read from each vendor's own page or from Vendr's brokered contract data, and says plainly where Strike Graph is still the better buy. Every line of the Strike Graph rate card is broken down on our Strike Graph pricing page.

Best Strike Graph alternatives compared

Strike Graph sits higher than most of this table because its published floor is the Scale plan. The Certify plan is cheaper, but it has no number on the page and comes with only one Tier 1 framework, which means SOC 2 or HIPAA, not ISO 27001. A buyer who needs ISO 27001 on Certify pays $5,000 a year on top before any services.

What does Strike Graph cost compared to Vanta and Drata?

Strike Graph Scale costs about the same as Drata at the median and a little more than Vanta. Scale starts at $21,500 a year on Strike Graph's own pricing page, against a Vendr median of about $20,000 for Vanta and $24,868 for Drata. The difference is that Strike Graph prints its number and the other two do not, so a Vanta or Drata quote can land well above or below its median.

The plan price is the smaller part of the comparison. Strike Graph sells services on the same page, so its quotes tend to arrive bundled: a penetration test at $10,000, a quarterly vulnerability scan at $4,000 to $5,000, an ISO 27001 internal audit at $7,000 to $8,000. Vanta and Drata usually send you to partners for the same work. When you compare, strip each quote down to the software line first, then add the services you actually need from whichever vendor is cheapest for them.

Which Strike Graph alternative is cheapest for SOC 2 and ISO 27001?

For a company that needs both SOC 2 and ISO 27001, the cheapest published route is a tool that cross-maps the two on one control set without charging per framework. On Strike Graph Scale, the second framework adds $2,000 to $3,000 a year, and on Certify it adds $5,000 for ISO 27001. Secureframe's $7,500 Fundamentals plan covers one framework, and additional frameworks are priced on request. Hicomply's tiers include one primary framework and charge around £5,300 a year for each extra one.

Complies includes SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS from the Growth plan at $119 a month billed yearly, which is $1,428 a year, with evidence collection, vendor risk and a risk register in the same plan. An access review you run once counts toward SOC 2 CC6.2 and ISO 27001 A.5.18 at the same time. You still pay the auditor, and that is usually the biggest number in the year: our breakdown of SOC 2 audit cost shows what CPA firms charge by company size, and the ISO 27001 software pricing page covers the certification body side.

Is Strike Graph worth it compared to its alternatives?

Strike Graph is worth it when you would buy the services anyway. If you need a pen test, quarterly scans, an ISO 27001 internal audit and a vendor risk module, getting all of them from one vendor on one contract saves coordination, and the published prices make the total easy to check. It is also one of the few platforms in this group that lists CMMC Level 2, NIST 800-171, HITRUST, DORA and CJIS as maintained frameworks, which matters if you sell to the defense industrial base, health systems or EU financial firms.

It is harder to justify when you need one or two common certifications and already have a testing partner. In that case most of the quote is services you will not use, and the software line on its own is still above the Vanta median.

Which alternative fits a company that needs CMMC or CJIS?

Most of the cheaper tools in the table do not maintain CMMC Level 2 or CJIS content, Complies included, so be careful about switching on price alone. A defense contractor working toward CMMC Level 2 against NIST 800-171 needs a platform that tracks the 110 requirements and produces a System Security Plan and POA&M, and Strike Graph sells exactly that. A software vendor whose customers are police departments faces a narrower problem: proving that its people, systems and data handling meet the FBI CJIS Security Policy so an agency can sign off. For that job, purpose-built CJIS compliance software that tracks agency requirements and personnel screening is a closer fit than a general SOC 2 platform. If you need SOC 2 for commercial customers next to either one, run that in a separate, cheaper tool rather than paying Tier 3 framework prices for everything.

How much does it cost to switch from Strike Graph?

Switching costs less than most teams expect, because the expensive parts of compliance do not live inside the software. Your controls, policies and evidence belong to you. Before you cancel, export your policies as documents, download the evidence your team uploaded with dates, and export the control list with owners. Your current SOC 2 report stays valid for its period no matter which tool you use next. The auditor relationship is a separate contract, so if you picked your CPA firm from Strike Graph's partner network, you can usually keep the same firm.

Time the move to your renewal date. Annual contracts rarely refund unused months, so start the new tool 60 to 90 days before renewal, rebuild the control set while the old one is still readable, and run one evidence cycle in parallel before you give notice.

Which Strike Graph alternative is best for a small team with no compliance hire?

For a team where compliance is a part-time job for an engineering lead or an operations manager, the best alternative is the one that turns the program into a calendar. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 fail in small companies on missed recurring work, the quarterly access review nobody ran or the vendor review that lapsed, much more often than on missing controls.

Complies is built around that. Every obligation, from access reviews to policy approvals to vendor reviews, becomes a dated task with a named owner and a reminder before it goes stale, and the evidence lands against the control it proves. You can see the full price before a call and start the same day. If you would rather compare the whole category before deciding, our compliance software for startups roundup covers the same vendors from a startup budget angle, and the Secureframe pricing page breaks down the closest published-price rival.
