Sprinto automates compliance checks. SimpleAudit uses AI to build your compliance program from a conversation, so you start with policies and risks, not integrations.

No platform on this page includes the audit. The CPA firm that signs your SOC 2 report is a separate purchase. Our row uses our audit partner's starting price; for the others, add the fee your auditor quotes.
| Option | Platform, first year | Audit | First-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| SimpleAudit Starter | $480 | Type 1 from $5,000 | from $5,480 |
| Sprinto | Not published (quote after a demo) | + your auditor's fee | Depends on your auditor |
From $40/mo (Starter, billed annually at $480). Essentials is $199/mo billed annually. Our row is the lowest first-year cost: Starter ($480 a year) plus a SOC 2 Type 1 from MJD Advisors, a peer-reviewed, US-based CPA firm, from $5,000. Starter covers the Security criteria only, for one user and one audit preparation. It gets you audit-ready, but the audit tools (audit window tracking, the audit package export, audit documents and auditor fields) are on Essentials, so on Starter you hand your evidence to the auditor yourself. A Type 1 is the option when a prospect needs a report in under about 3 months. Our recommended path is a security-only SOC 2 Type 2 with a 3-month observation window: MJD prices it from $7,500, and with Essentials ($2,388 a year), which runs the audit, the first year starts at $9,888. MJD Advisors is SimpleAudit's audit partner.
Sprinto publishes no prices; its pricing page routes to a demo (read 2026-09-29), so there is no sourced first-year figure to show.
Teams choose SimpleAudit over Sprinto when they want to start with AI-generated compliance content immediately, without engineering-heavy integration setup.
"Predatory pricing... Sprinto gave us an amazing deal for the first year... They cannot be increasing the price and providing sub standard services."

Sprinto's automation runs on connections to your cloud, identity and code tools (it lists 300+ integrations). Getting value from it starts with an engineer setting those up.

Sprinto does not publish prices. Its pricing page names three plans, Foundation for startups on their first audit, Growth, and Enterprise, and routes every buyer to a demo or a plan finder. That makes the first-year number a negotiation, and the renewal number one too.
Renewal is where some Sprinto customers say the deal changed. One G2 reviewer wrote that Sprinto "gave us an amazing deal for the first year" and then raised the price while service slipped (March 2024). One review is not a trend, but it is the risk any quote-based contract carries: the first-year price is set to win the account, and the renewal price is set once switching has become expensive.
Switching does get expensive, because Sprinto's value lives in its connections to your systems. It lists 300+ integrations and, since mid-2026, AI agents that apply fixes and an MCP connection for ChatGPT and Claude. That depth is real once it is set up, and the setup, plus the standing access it needs, is what you would rebuild if you left.
Sprinto fits a team that wants continuous automated monitoring and has an engineer to run the integrations. For a seed-stage team that wants a published price and no standing connections into its cloud accounts, SimpleAudit is the closer match: the price is on the website, and evidence arrives only when you upload it.
Sprinto's onboarding centers on connecting your cloud, identity and code tools. SimpleAudit's onboarding is a conversation: you get policies, a risk register and a vendor list in your first session. Evidence arrives when you upload it, or push it from your own tools on Pro, never through a standing connection.
A Sprinto reviewer described a strong first-year deal followed by a higher renewal. SimpleAudit publishes its prices, so you can see what renewal costs before you buy.
Sprinto's automation runs on OAuth and API connections into your cloud accounts and identity provider. SimpleAudit holds none: no stored tokens and no standing access into your infrastructure.
Sprinto is right for a team that wants automation to carry the ongoing work: it connects to your systems (Sprinto lists 300+ integrations), monitors controls continuously, and now runs AI agents that propose and apply fixes. Its Foundation plan targets startups on their first audit, and it syncs evidence with the audit firm A-LIGN. It pays off when an engineer can set up and maintain those integrations, common for B2B SaaS companies with a platform team. If you want to see a price before a demo, or would rather not give a vendor standing access to your cloud accounts, it is a poorer fit.
