SecurityScorecard's pricing includes both free and paid tiers. A 14-day free trial of its Business Plan is available, and the company structures its top-tier managed services (MAX) at premium rates.

Bitsight
Bitsight does not publicly disclose pricing details, but it is often placed in the higher-premium pricing bracket for security rating platforms. It does not provide a conventional free trial; however, prospects can receive a complimentary security rating and an industry benchmark report as an introduction to the platform's capabilities.
End-to-end TPRM workflows are not natively integrated, so users will have to pay additional fees to build a complete TPRM workflow.

RiskRecon
RiskRecon does not publicly disclose pricing details. Costs reportedly increase as the number of vendors grows. A 30-day trial is offered to support monitoring of up to 50 vendors. However, if a written cancellation notice isn't provided within 15 days of the trial's end, it automatically rolls over to a paid 12-month subscription.
After upgrading to a paid subscription, annual costs may rise after the first year, commonly by the greater of 3% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Vanta
Vanta does not publicly disclose pricing details. It is primarily a compliance management solution, so it does not natively support the entire TPRM lifecycle. To build a complete TPRM workflow, users will need to integrate the platform with separate TPRM tools.
A standard subscription typically only supports a single compliance framework, such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001, so organizations needing to track multiple standards will need to pay for each additional framework.

Black Kite
Black Kite does not publicly disclose pricing information. Costs are based on an organization's vendor count and the scope of features required. Black Kite does not charge extra for onboarding services or additional user accounts.
