Looking for a Drata alternative? Here is an honest comparison.

Drata (San Diego, founded 2020) is a compliance automation platform. Its third-party risk management module brings vendor inventory, risk tiers, assessments and evidence together, and leans into AI-assisted review: AI-generated assessment criteria, one-click assessments that collect documents from vendor trust centres, AI summaries of SOC reports and questionnaires, a risk register and executive reporting. Vendor lists can sync from procurement and contract-management systems. Pricing is by demo.

• AI-assisted, one-click vendor assessments
• Vendor lists sync from procurement and contract-management tools
• Risk register and executive reporting built in

Choose Drata if

• Your compliance programme already lives in Drata and its third-party risk module covers what you need
• You want vendor lists synced from procurement and contract-management systems you already run

Choose Vendorapp if

• You want vendor management as its own system of record, with sanctions screening and contract renewals alongside the risk ratings
• You want published pricing and a free plan rather than a demo and a quote
• You do not use Drata, or you only need the vendor-risk part of a compliance platform

Or use both

The two can work side by side. Drata runs your wider compliance programme; Vendorapp holds the vendor register, screening and contracts, and you export its reports into Drata as evidence for the vendor control. Vendorapp does not have a direct Drata integration today.

• Smart Lookup: add a vendor by name or website from 22M+ indexed companies
• Vendorapp Intelligence exposure and ESG risk ratings, plus your own inherent and residual scores
• Sanctions and watchlist screening, including OFAC, UN, EU, UK OFSI and DFAT lists
• Contracts and DPAs with key terms extracted and renewal alerts
• Breach and incident alerts between reviews
• Audit trail and evidence export for SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA and similar frameworks
