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.

Where Screenata is different

Three things Vanta doesn’t do.

( 01 / 03 )

Policies from infrastructure, not templates

Vanta starts from template language and monitors for drift. Screenata reads your IdP, cloud, and repos first, then writes policies that match what it found — and flags commitments you can't prove.

( 02 / 03 )

An operator, not a dashboard

Vanta surfaces tasks for a human to work through. Screenata runs scheduled agents that scan, collect evidence, and brief you in Slack — the daily work happens without anyone opening a tab.

( 03 / 03 )

A pricing model built for small teams

$499/month, flat, month to month — sized for the 5–50 person team that needs SOC 2 to close a deal, not a multi-year enterprise contract.

The honest version

When Vanta is the better fit.

We're not for everyone. Vanta is a strong choice in these cases — and we'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

You have an in-house security or compliance team that wants a dashboard to drive
You're a larger organization with an established procurement process and budget
You need the broadest possible catalog of niche integrations on day one

Screenata is built for the 5–50 person team that needs SOC 2 to close a deal, wants policies grounded in real infrastructure, and would rather operate compliance from Slack and the terminal than a dashboard. More on who we’re for.
