Vanta is the most well-known compliance platform — but it starts at $7,500/year with no free tier and requires a sales call. Axzura gives you the same SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 automation for $49/month with a free tier, self-serve signup, and auto-remediation via GitHub PRs.

Why teams switch from Vanta to Axzura

Real reasons developers and founders make the switch.

💰
Vanta costs 12x more
Most startups and scale-ups pay $10,000–$25,000/year for Vanta. Axzura Pro is $49/month ($588/year). Same core frameworks, fraction of the cost.
No sales call required
Vanta requires a demo before you can even see the product. Axzura lets you scan your first repo in 30 seconds — no signup, no call, no waiting.
🔧
Auto-remediation vs manual fixes
When Vanta finds an issue, you fix it manually. Axzura generates a GitHub PR with the fix, reviews it via four-eyes approval, and merges it with one click.
🤖
Real AI vs basic AI
Vanta has basic AI features. Axzura's AI Copilot uses GPT-4o and has access to your real compliance data — ask anything and get accurate, contextual answers.
👨‍💻
Built for developers
Vanta is built for compliance teams. Axzura is built for developers — GitHub-native, auto-remediates via PRs, integrates with your existing workflow.
🆓
Actually free to start
Vanta has zero free tier — you need to commit $7,500+ before seeing anything. Axzura's free tier gives you 5 real scans/month with no credit card.

We were about to sign with Vanta for $12,000/year. A colleague showed me Axzura — same SOC 2 coverage, auto-remediation, AI copilot. We saved $11,400/year on day one.
