Keel vs Sprinto

Evaluating Sprinto and looking at the alternatives? Here is an honest look at where Keel fits, and who each one suits best.

• Transparent, self-serve pricing

  Keel publishes list pricing for all 4 plans and includes a real free tier, with NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and AI Governance Essentials 1.0 free on every plan. You can see the number before you talk to anyone, and start today without a sales call. The one exception is the MSP / partner plan, where per-client pricing is tailored to the size of your book — that one starts with a conversation.

• One crosswalked control library

  Keel is built on a single control library crosswalked across frameworks. Implement a control once and it counts toward every framework it satisfies, so your second framework mostly reuses the work from your first. Collect once, comply everywhere.

• Security and quality on one platform

  Keel runs ISO 9001:2015 on the same control-and-evidence graph as your security program, so one internal audit programme and one evidence set serve both. The management-system half is already in your workspace on every plan, including Free: nonconformities and CAPA, the internal audit programme, objectives, competence, documented information and management review. Keel Quality, a $149/mo per workspace add-on, adds the product-quality half — nonconforming outputs (NCR), supplier quality and SCARs, complaints and feedback, change control, and a Quality dashboard over those four. If quality management is in scope for you, ask every platform on your shortlist whether it covers ISO 9001 — we speak for Keel, not for them.

• Own your data

  keel-migrate is an open-source (MIT), read-only tool you run on your own machine. It exports your registers and policies through the source platform’s own documented API — Vanta and Drata today, OneTrust in beta, more on the roadmap — and your credentials never leave your computer. Your data is portable, not locked in.

• Check the work before you buy

  Keel’s control-to-clause crosswalk is published as an open dataset under CC-BY-4.0, as JSON and CSV, so you can read the mappings your readiness score will be built on without signing anything. Every plan also includes a free read-only auditor seat that never counts against your seat limit, so bringing your auditor in costs nothing.

Keel’s pricing is published and self-serve — you can see the number and start today without a sales call, on every plan except the MSP partner plan, which is priced per client. For Sprinto, ask them: we don’t publish a figure we’d be guessing at.
