How we rank
How SOC 2 Compared prices year one
One company of 25 people, one framework, the vendor's own published prices, and the audit on a line of its own.
Inside the figure
Year one is the cheapest published plan that covers a 25-person company for SOC 2, plus any one-time fee the vendor says you must pay to start. Every amount is quoted from the vendor's own pricing page or its marketplace listing, never from a third-party estimate.
Outside it
The audit is a line of its own: included in the plan, a partner price the vendor publishes, or bought from a CPA firm. Extra frameworks and a headcount past the plan's band are outside too. Where a vendor publishes no price, we say so instead of guessing.
Order
Featured places sit in their own labelled block first. Then platforms are listed cheapest year one first, with the ones that publish no price at the end. Paying never changes that order.
Keeping it current
We re-read each pricing page and each firm's public peer review and update the listing when they change. Vendors correct their listing from their dashboard. SOC 2 Compared compares software and services. It is not legal, audit or security advice, and a listing is not an endorsement.
