Key features
Who should use Drata?
If you are a Solo / freelancer...
At Free/mo, it is a real investment for a solo operator. Consider a free alternative first, then switch when you outgrow it.
If you are a 5-person startup...
For a team of five, expect to pay roughly Free/mo on the SMB plan. That is reasonable for a startup budget.
If you are a 50+ person company...
You will likely need the Mid-Market plan or above. At this scale, check the audit prep and vendor risk management capabilities — they matter more as teams grow.
Pricing: the honest take
Starting at Free/mo with no free tier, Drata is positioned for buyers who already know they need this category of tool. The SMB plan is competitively priced for the security & compliance market.
