Key weaknesses
OneTrust takes an integration and partnership-focused approach to enabling customers to have end-to-end vendor visibility.
This approach requires additional licensing, adoption, and technical configuration of a separate vendor monitoring solution for customers desiring inside/out visibility into any given vendor's security posture.
Additionally, teams with larger staff sizes should take advantage of OneTrust's modular approach and wide array of potential customizations.
UpGuard's focus on core frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST offers robust coverage for most security and compliance needs, though organizations requiring highly specialized or region-specific regulations may choose to augment it with dedicated GRC modules.
Its strengths in cybersecurity and continuous monitoring ensure strong TPCRM capabilities, but those seeking an all-encompassing governance solution (e.g., covering environmental or privacy regulations) might benefit from additional integrations.
Its strengths in cybersecurity and continuous monitoring ensure strong TPCRM capabilities, but those seeking an all-encompassing governance solution (e.g., covering environmental or privacy regulations) might benefit from additional integrations.
SecurityScorecard's staggered scan cycles disrupts real-time vendor security posture visibility. IP attribution issues are also cited as common scanning problems.
Additionally, vendor monitoring and risk assessments are licensed separately, which may increase purchasing complexity and limit coverage of end-to-end visibility of supply chain vendors
Bitsight's pricing structures can quickly escalate operational expenses for TPRM programs and create complicated decisions regarding the extent of risk visibility that can be deployed for vendors within a supply chain. Customers additionally cite attribution challenges for risks and assets within shared IP and cloud environments, which require support request submissions to address.
Monitoring and assessment capabilities are also separately licensed, which may increase purchasing complexity and limit end-to-end coverage to several vendors within supply chains.
Black Kite does not offer vendor questionnaires or risk assessments as part of their solution offerings. While Black Kite's quantification-forward approach may be sufficient for some, customers with requirements for vendor security reviews and assurance documents for compliance needs will likely require an additional solution for this capability.
Usability and learning curve
OneTrust offers a range of customization options that can increase the learning curve and overall adoption for smaller teams or those with impacted staffing levels. OneTrust reportedly charges for implementation, typically as a professional services fee for initial setup and configuration. The need for implementation support could be indicative of the platform's complexity and steep learning curve
UpGuard offers best-in-class time to value for initial implementations.
UpGuard's platform architecture is designed from the ground up to deliver a quick and shallow adoption curve. UpGuard's clean and intuitive interface ensures ease of ongoing operation and rapid pick-up from new staff members as needed.

SecurityScorecard's dashboards and clear A-F grading help non-technical stakeholders quickly grasp vendor risk exposure. However, some users report multiple drill-down steps required to reach specific risk insights, which could lengthen new user learning curves
Bitsight is generally intuitive for professionals familiar with security ratings, with an interface offering clear vendor risk summaries. However, some advanced features require more expertise and time to leverage effectively, particularly when deploying Bitsight's separate modules for monitoring and risk assessments.
Black Kite's interface is designed around letter-grade dashboards and detailed risk findings for its range of quantification options offered. However, insights for each focused rating are not clearly segmented by audience and often bleed across the entire platform. This can make the relevance of platform insights less consistent for specialized users, even within teams.

OneTrust does not publically disclose its pricing, but estimates from user reports and SaaS pricing platforms offer a general range.
OneTrust does not publicly disclose its pricing. Prospects need to book a demo of the product and speak with a sales representative to receive a quote.
Here's an overview of OneTrust's plans and services:
No free plan
OneTrust does not provide a permanent free tier.
Free trial available
OneTrust offers a 14-day free trial for select solutions like Privacy & Data Governance, GRC & Security Assurance, Ethics & Compliance, and ESG modules.
Small to mid-sized businesses (up to 200 employees)

This tier often includes additional features like third-party risk management or GDPR compliance tools.
Large enterprises (1,000+ employees)
Pricing varies depending on the number of modules, integrations, and users.
Add-ons and additional costs
The following additional features and services can significantly increase costs:
- Additional Modules: Options include Consent & Preference Management, Third-Party Risk Management (Vendorpedia), Data Mapping Automation, Privacy Requests/DSAR Automation, and GRC tools. Each module can additional monthly costs depending on scope.
- Specialized Solutions: Features like Mobile App Consent, OTT/CTV Consent, or AI Governance are premium add-ons, with costs varying by usage (e.g., data profiles or visitors). The GDPR Compliance bundle, covering seven products, is quoted for each individual domain.
- DataGuidance Research Portal: A regulatory intelligence add-on. Pricing packages available for single and unlimited users.
- Integrations: Custom or premium ones may incur extra fees.
- Implementation costs: OneTrust includes implementation fees which could significantly drive-up costs.
- Hidden Costs: Users have reported pricing surprises, such as 22-80% mid-contract uplifts or fees for exceeding usage tiers.
How does OneTrust's pricing compare to its competitors?
UpGuard
UpGuard's pricing starts at USD 1,599 per month. The platform natively integrates end-to-end TPRM workflows, saving users from having to pay for additional tools to fill TPRM process gaps.
It also offers:
- A free-access tier lets you monitor up to five vendors, including access to risk ratings, risk assessment, and remediation workflows.
- Unlimited free access to its vendor questionnaire and trust management tool, Trust Exchange
- A 14-day free trial for paid tiers.
For more details, visit UpGuard's pricing page.
SecurityScorecard
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.
While more budget-friendly than some Bitsight packages, it generally sits in the mid to high-priced range within the market. Pricing details are not publicly disclosed.
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. Though it does not offer a free trial, Black Kite provides a free cyber risk assessment covering a limited set of vendors.
