Sprinto vs Vanta: SOC 2 Compliance Platform Comparison

Platform selection is one of the first decisions we walk clients through -- and the Sprinto vs Vanta question comes up constantly, especially from international teams and budget-conscious startups who have heard Vanta is the default but want to know whether a less expensive alternative actually holds up. The answer depends on your tech stack, your geography, and how much manual evidence work you are willing to absorb.

Sprinto and Vanta compete directly in the SOC 2 compliance platform market, but they serve somewhat different buyer profiles. Vanta is the market leader with the largest customer base, the broadest integration ecosystem (375+ native integrations), and deep penetration in the US startup and growth-stage segments. Sprinto positions itself as a cost-effective alternative with strong compliance automation, a growing international presence (particularly in India, Southeast Asia, and Europe), and competitive pricing that appeals to budget-conscious organizations. Both platforms deliver core SOC 2 automation capabilities -- evidence collection, policy management, continuous monitoring, and auditor collaboration -- but they differ in integration breadth, geographic market strength, pricing models, and support responsiveness.

This comparison helps compliance leads and founders evaluate both platforms across the dimensions that matter most: feature coverage, integration ecosystem, pricing, geographic suitability, implementation experience, and scalability. The target audience is startups and mid-market companies evaluating Sprinto as an alternative to Vanta or vice versa.

Integration Ecosystem

The integration ecosystem is the most significant functional difference between the two platforms, and it is the dimension we spend the most time evaluating with clients.

Vanta: 375+ Integrations

Vanta maintains the broadest integration catalog in the GRC platform market:

• All major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) with deep configuration scanning
• All major identity providers (Okta, Google Workspace, Entra ID, JumpCloud, OneLogin)
• Extensive code repository coverage (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
• Broad HR platform support (BambooHR, Gusto, Rippling, ADP, Workday, Paylocity)
• Comprehensive endpoint management (Jamf, Kandji, Fleet, Intune)
• Wide monitoring and security tooling coverage (Datadog, Splunk, Snyk, Qualys, Crowdstrike)
• Hundreds of additional SaaS integrations across categories

In our experience, Vanta's integration breadth means most organizations can automate the vast majority of evidence collection regardless of how diverse or unusual their tech stack is.

Sprinto: 100+ Integrations

Sprinto covers the essential integration categories:

• Major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Major identity providers (Okta, Google Workspace, Entra ID)
• Core code repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
• Common HR platforms and endpoint management tools
• Key monitoring and security tools

Sprinto's integration count is lower than Vanta's, which means organizations with niche or less common tools in their stack may need to rely on manual evidence uploads more frequently. For organizations using mainstream tools -- AWS, Okta, GitHub, BambooHR -- Sprinto covers the essentials.

How we help clients evaluate this: We recommend listing every tool in your tech stack that is relevant to SOC 2 controls. Check both platforms' integration catalogs. If Sprinto covers your stack, the integration gap may not affect your experience. If you use several niche tools that Vanta supports but Sprinto does not, the manual evidence burden may make Vanta the better choice.

Feature Comparison

Evidence Collection

Feature	Vanta	Sprinto
Automated evidence collection	1,200+ automated tests running hourly	Continuous automated testing across connected integrations
Manual evidence management	Upload and organize manual evidence	Upload and organize manual evidence
Evidence gaps alerting	Yes -- alerts when evidence collection fails	Yes -- alerts for evidence gaps and failing controls
Evidence freshness tracking	Yes	Yes

Both platforms provide continuous automated evidence collection from connected integrations and support manual evidence upload for non-automated controls. Vanta's larger integration ecosystem means more evidence is collected automatically; Sprinto users may need to supplement with more manual uploads depending on their tech stack.

Policy Management

Feature	Vanta	Sprinto
Policy templates	Comprehensive template library	Comprehensive template library
Policy customization	Full customization	Full customization
Policy distribution	Automated distribution to employees	Automated distribution to employees
Acknowledgment tracking	Track acknowledgment to 100%	Track acknowledgment to 100%
Version control	Yes	Yes

Policy management capabilities are comparable across both platforms. Both provide SOC 2-aligned policy templates that can be customized, distributed to employees, and tracked for acknowledgment.

Multi-Framework Support

Feature	Vanta	Sprinto
Frameworks supported	35+	20+
Cross-framework mapping	Automatic control mapping across frameworks	Automatic control mapping across frameworks
Supported frameworks	SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 1, NIST, and many more	SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and others

Vanta supports more frameworks out of the box. For organizations pursuing standard frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR), both platforms provide adequate coverage. Vanta's advantage is more relevant for organizations needing less common frameworks (NIST 800-53, specific industry frameworks).

Monitoring and Compliance Dashboard

Both platforms provide real-time compliance dashboards showing control status, failing checks, and remediation tasks. In our experience, Vanta's dashboard benefits from deeper integration data, while Sprinto's dashboard is designed for clarity and simplicity.

Pricing Comparison

Pricing is one of Sprinto's primary competitive advantages against Vanta, and it is one of the most common reasons clients ask us about Sprinto in the first place.

Company Size	Vanta	Sprinto
Under 25 employees	~$10,000-$12,000/year	~$6,000-$9,000/year
25-50 employees	~$12,000-$16,000/year	~$8,000-$12,000/year
50-100 employees	~$15,000-$20,000/year	~$10,000-$16,000/year
100-250 employees	~$20,000-$30,000/year	~$15,000-$22,000/year
Additional frameworks	Incremental per framework	Incremental per framework

Sprinto is generally twenty to thirty percent less expensive than Vanta at comparable company sizes. For startups with tight compliance budgets, this pricing differential can be meaningful -- saving $3,000-$8,000 annually that can be allocated to other compliance expenses (auditor fees, consulting).

Both platforms offer annual contracts. We recommend requesting quotes from each vendor with your specific headcount and framework requirements for accurate pricing.

Geographic Market Strength

Vanta: US-Centric Market Leader

Vanta's customer base is concentrated in the United States, with strong adoption among US-based startups, growth-stage companies, and mid-market organizations. The platform's integration ecosystem is built around tools popular in the US market, and its auditor network is primarily US-based CPA firms.

Sprinto: International Presence

Sprinto has built notable adoption in international markets, particularly India, Southeast Asia, and Europe. The platform supports international compliance requirements and has built relationships with auditors and certification bodies serving these regions. For organizations based outside the US or those with significant international operations, Sprinto may offer better geographic alignment.

What we tell clients: If your company is based in the US with a predominantly US tech stack, Vanta is the default choice. If your company is based in India, Southeast Asia, or has significant international operations, Sprinto may provide a better fit -- both culturally and in terms of support hours and auditor network alignment.

Onboarding and Implementation

Vanta Implementation

• Typical timeline: One to two weeks for initial setup
• Onboarding experience: Guided workflow with step-by-step integration instructions
• Customer success: Dedicated customer success manager for onboarding
• Documentation: Extensive help documentation and knowledge base

Sprinto Implementation

• Typical timeline: One to two weeks for initial setup
• Onboarding experience: Guided setup with compliance expert assistance
• Customer success: Assigned compliance expert during onboarding
• Documentation: Help documentation and in-platform guidance

Sprinto's onboarding is known for hands-on support -- the assigned compliance expert guides organizations through setup and provides configuration recommendations. In our experience, this high-touch approach is particularly valuable for first-time compliance organizations that benefit from expert guidance during initial configuration.

Our take: Sprinto has the edge for hands-on onboarding support; Vanta wins for self-service speed and documentation depth.

Auditor Support

Vanta Auditor Network

Vanta maintains the largest vetted auditor partner network in the market. Organizations can browse and select auditors through the platform, and auditors access the Vanta dashboard for evidence review during fieldwork.

Sprinto Auditor Network

Sprinto's auditor network is smaller but growing. The platform provides auditor-facing tools for evidence review and collaboration. Sprinto's network includes auditors serving both US and international markets.

Both platforms support efficient auditor fieldwork. Vanta's larger network provides more selection options; Sprinto's network may offer better coverage for organizations seeking auditors with international market experience.

Choose Vanta If:

• Your company is US-based with a diverse tech stack requiring broad integration coverage
• You want the platform with the largest market presence and most established customer base
• You plan to scale rapidly and need a platform proven to handle growth from ten to thousands of employees
• You need 35+ framework options and anticipate expanding to less common frameworks
• Integration breadth matters more than price -- you want to automate as much evidence collection as possible
• You are already working with a US-based CPA firm in Vanta's auditor network

Choose Sprinto If:

• Your company is based in India, Southeast Asia, Europe, or another international market
• Budget is a primary constraint and the twenty to thirty percent savings over Vanta is meaningful
• Your tech stack uses mainstream tools (AWS, Okta, GitHub, etc.) that Sprinto supports natively
• You value hands-on onboarding support with a dedicated compliance expert
• You are pursuing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 as your primary frameworks (covered by Sprinto's supported framework list)
• You prefer a platform with strong international auditor relationships

For Budget-Constrained First-Time Organizations

What we tell clients in this situation is that Sprinto offers the strongest value proposition for startups pursuing their first SOC 2 audit on a tight budget. The lower price point, combined with adequate core functionality and hands-on onboarding support, makes it an effective choice for organizations that need SOC 2 automation without the full integration breadth of Vanta.

For Long-Term Platform Investment

We recommend Vanta as the stronger long-term investment for organizations that anticipate significant growth, diverse framework needs, and evolving tech stacks. The broader integration ecosystem, larger customer base, and demonstrated scaling capability provide more runway as your compliance program expands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sprinto a viable alternative to Vanta?

What we tell clients is yes -- for organizations whose tech stacks are well-covered by Sprinto's integration catalog, it is a genuine alternative. The core compliance automation -- evidence collection, policy management, monitoring, auditor collaboration -- works effectively on both platforms. The primary trade-off is integration breadth: Vanta supports more tools natively, meaning less manual evidence work. Based on what we see, if your stack is mainstream (major cloud providers, standard identity and code tools), Sprinto provides genuine SOC 2 automation at a lower price point.

Can I switch from Sprinto to Vanta later?

Yes, but what we tell clients is to plan for the migration effort up front. Switching involves re-connecting integrations, re-mapping controls, and potentially re-collecting evidence. In our experience, plan for two to four weeks of migration effort. The best time to switch is between audit cycles. If you anticipate outgrowing Sprinto's integration coverage, we recommend factoring migration costs into your long-term platform decision from the start.

How does Sprinto compare to Drata?

Based on what we see across our client base, Sprinto and Drata occupy similar positions -- both compete as alternatives to Vanta with different strengths. Drata differentiates on design quality and ease of use; Sprinto differentiates on pricing and international market fit. Drata has fewer integrations (75+) than Sprinto (100+), while Sprinto offers lower pricing. What we tell clients weighing these two is to focus on which differentiator matters more for their specific situation: design polish or cost savings.

Does Sprinto support SOC 2 Type II?

Yes. In our experience working with clients on Sprinto, the platform supports both Type I and Type II audits with continuous evidence collection throughout the observation period, real-time compliance monitoring, and auditor-facing tools for fieldwork. The platform tracks evidence across the full observation period and alerts on gaps, just as Vanta does.

Is Vanta worth the higher price?

What we tell clients is that it depends on your integration needs. If your tech stack includes tools that Vanta supports but Sprinto does not, the automated evidence collection from those integrations saves compliance team hours every month -- which may justify the price premium. If both platforms cover your stack equally, Sprinto provides comparable core functionality at lower cost. We recommend making the value calculation based on how many integrations you need that only Vanta offers.
