Dashboard-era GRC, or agent-era compliance.
Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, Scrut, Thoropass, Oneleet, Delve and ComplyJet are platforms a compliance person works inside. Screenata is the compliance person, reading your infrastructure, writing the policies, and operating the program across Slack, email, the terminal, and your PRs, for $499/month per framework.

GRC platform
Screenata vs Vanta
Vanta is the established GRC platform, a dashboard a compliance person works inside, with broad integrations and a large customer base. Screenata is the compliance person: an agent that reads your infrastructure, writes the policies, and operates the program continuously across the surfaces your team already uses. The difference is operational: where Vanta flags a failing control and waits, Vera collects the evidence and drafts the remediation herself.
Read the comparisonGRC platform
Screenata vs Drata
Drata is a GRC automation platform with a template-first model and an autopilot for continuous checks. Screenata takes a different starting point: it generates policies from your real infrastructure, traces every claim to signed evidence, and runs as an agent across Slack, email, the CLI, and your PRs. The difference is operational: where Drata's autopilot flags a gap and waits, Vera collects the evidence, drafts the fix, and re-verifies once it's applied.
Read the comparisonGRC platform
Screenata vs Secureframe
Secureframe is a compliance-automation platform known for pairing its dashboard with a large bench of in-house compliance experts and former auditors, plus a dedicated CMMC/defense line. Screenata is agent-first: instead of a dashboard your team drives with expert guidance on the side, Vera reads your infrastructure, writes the policies, collects the evidence, and runs the program continuously, for $499/month per framework.
Read the comparisonGRC platform
Screenata vs Scrut Automation
Scrut Automation is a risk-first GRC platform known for high configurability, custom risk formulas and workflows, and flat pricing that bundles 60+ frameworks with no per-framework surcharge. Screenata shares the flat-pricing instinct but is agent-first: rather than a configurable dashboard your team drives, Vera writes the policies from your infrastructure and runs the program continuously for $499/month.
Read the comparisonGRC + audit platform · formerly Laika
Screenata vs Thoropass
Thoropass (formerly Laika) is unusual among GRC platforms: it runs an in-house, AICPA-registered CPA firm, so the software, the readiness work, and the audit itself can come from one vendor. Screenata is agent-first and audit-firm-neutral: Vera writes the policies from your infrastructure, collects signed evidence, and prepares an audit-ready package your auditor of choice can verify, for $499/month per framework.
Read the comparisonSecurity + compliance platform
Screenata vs Oneleet
Oneleet is a security-first, YC-backed platform that bundles real security work, notably penetration testing, with compliance automation, positioned explicitly against "compliance theater." Screenata shares the substance-over-paperwork view but attacks it from the compliance-operations side: Vera writes grounded policies, traces claims to signed evidence, and runs the program as an agent for $499/month per framework.
Read the comparisonAI-native compliance
Screenata vs Delve
Delve is an AI-native, YC-backed compliance platform with an unusually wide framework catalog, including AI-governance frameworks like ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act. Both Delve and Screenata are genuinely AI-driven, so the difference isn't "AI or not." It's the model: Screenata writes policies deterministically from infrastructure scans, traces every claim to a signed, externally-verifiable artifact, runs from Slack, the CLI, and your PRs, and prices at $499/month per framework.
Read the comparisonOpen-source compliance
Screenata vs Comp AI
Comp AI (from Bubba AI) is an open-source, AI-native compliance platform, AGPL-licensed and self-hostable, positioned as an open alternative to Vanta and Drata. Both Comp AI and Screenata are AI-native, so the difference isn't "AI or not." It's the model: Screenata is a managed service with transparent flat per-framework pricing, policies written deterministically from infrastructure scans, and every claim traced to a signed, externally-verifiable artifact, rather than an open-source toolkit you self-host or run on a managed quote.
Read the comparisonLow-cost compliance
Screenata vs ComplyJet
ComplyJet is a low-cost, startup-scoped compliance platform, one of the few that publishes flat pricing: $5,000/year for one framework or $8,000/year for two on a 1-year plan (about 20% less on a 3-year commitment), capped at 50 employees, audits excluded. Screenata is also startup-focused and transparently priced, but the model is different: an operating agent that writes policies from infrastructure, traces claims to signed evidence, and runs the program continuously, month to month, rather than a low-cost dashboard your team drives.
Read the comparisonQuestions
Choosing a compliance platform, answered.
What is the best Vanta and Drata alternative for a startup?
For a 5–50 person team that needs SOC 2 to close a deal, Screenata is a different category from the dashboards. It's an AI agent that writes policies from your real infrastructure, automates about 70% of evidence across 500+ checks, and runs the program from Slack, email, and the CLI for $499/month per framework, month to month, versus the annual, sales-gated contracts Vanta and Drata run on.
How is Screenata different from Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe?
Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe are GRC dashboards your team drives: template-first policies, semi-automated evidence, and a task list when a control fails. Screenata is agent-first: it writes policies from infrastructure scans, flags unprovable claims, traces every claim to a signed artifact you can verify outside the platform, and collects evidence and drafts remediations itself.
Which compliance platform is cheapest?
Among vendors that publish pricing, ComplyJet is lowest: $5,000/year for one framework (about $4,000 on a 3-year commitment), up to 50 employees. Most others, Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, Scrut, Thoropass, Oneleet, and Delve, are sales-gated. Screenata is $499/month per framework ($5,988/year), month to month with the operating agent and all integrations included, so it competes on running the program for you, not on the lowest sticker price.
Is there an AI agent that runs SOC 2 compliance, not just monitors it?
Yes. Delve and Screenata are both genuinely AI-driven. Screenata's model is specific: deterministic policies from infrastructure, an overpromise detector, claim-to-signed-evidence traceability, and scheduled agents that collect evidence, draft fixes, and re-verify, delivered in Slack, email, the CLI, and your PRs for $499/month per framework.
