How we compare

On the evidence, with dates.

Every number on this site links to the page it came from, and says when we read it.

A price tag
  1. 1
    We read the vendor’s own pricing page

    Every price starts there, on the day shown next to it. Most compliance platforms print no price and ask you to book a demo; we say so rather than guess.

  2. 2
    Where the site is silent, we cite the vendor’s own list price

    Several vendors publish real 12-month prices on their own AWS Marketplace listings. We show those as the starting price and footnote where they came from. Your quote may be lower.

  3. 3
    We show the audit apart

    A platform gets you ready; an independent firm does the SOC 2 audit, the ISO 27001 certification or the HIPAA assessment, and bills you for it. We show what audit firms publish for that work, with the source, on every page.

  4. 4
    We write who should skip it

    Each platform gets a plain “pick it if” and “skip it if”, each backed by a page on the vendor’s own site and linked.

  5. 5
    We recheck every month

    Prices and limits change. Every fact has the date we read it; anything older than a month gets read again.
