SecurityScorecard Pricing and Cost for TPRM

SecurityScorecard pricing is quote-only for every paid plan. Vendr's February 2026 data puts the median buyer at $23,619 a year, with contracts from $12,420 to $135,395. The only published list prices sit on SecurityScorecard's own AWS Marketplace listing: $13,500 a year for vendor management of 5 domains, and $155,375 a year for 75 domains. What moves your quote is how many organizations you monitor and at what depth.

If you are pricing a first purchase or a renewal, the useful work is turning those scattered figures into a per-vendor number you can compare with other tools. That is what this page does, with every source dated, so you can walk into the sales call knowing what a fair quote looks like.

How much does SecurityScorecard cost?

SecurityScorecard costs about $23,619 a year for the median buyer, according to Vendr's February 2026 purchase data, with a range of $12,420 to $135,395. Its AWS Marketplace listing prices a 5-domain vendor management plan at $13,500 a year and a 75-domain plan at $155,375. The company publishes no dollar figures on its own pricing page.

Vendr also publishes size bands: roughly $20,000 to $45,000 a year for 50 to 150 vendors, $50,000 to $120,000 for 150 to 500, and $120,000 to $250,000 or more above 500. Those bands are Vendr's estimates, not SecurityScorecard figures, so use them to sanity-check a quote rather than to anchor one.

SecurityScorecard plans and what each one adds

SecurityScorecard's pricing page lists four platform tiers and a managed service, all priced through sales. The feature lines below are copied from that page in September 2026.

The free plan is real, and it is useful for one thing: seeing and disputing your own score before a customer does. It does not monitor your vendors. The moment you want scorecards on companies other than yourself, you are in Core or above, and that is where every figure on this page applies.

What does SecurityScorecard charge per vendor?

Divide the two AWS list prices by the domains they cover and you get the closest thing to a published unit price. The 5-domain Business plan works out to $2,700 per domain a year. The 75-domain Enterprise plan works out to about $2,072 per domain, which includes onboarding. A drop of about 23 percent per domain between the two tiers is the most concrete evidence of how the meter scales.

Two details on that listing are worth knowing before a call. First, it still uses the older tier names Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise, while the website now says Free, Core, Premium and Elite. A rep may quote either vocabulary, so ask which features the tier on your quote maps to. Second, the listing meters in domains, while the website talks about organizations. A vendor with three brands on three domains can count three times. Count your vendors' domains, not just your vendors, before you agree to a tier size.

The phrase "partial visibility for unlimited organizations" in Premium matters for the same reason. It means you can watch a very long vendor list at reduced depth, with full scorecards on a smaller set. That is the same full-versus-partial split security ratings vendors have always sold, and it is why two quotes for "300 vendors" can differ by a factor of three.

SecurityScorecard vs Bitsight pricing

On median spend, they are effectively the same price. Vendr's February 2026 data puts the median SecurityScorecard contract at $23,619 and the median Bitsight contract at $23,640, a difference of $21. The top ends differ more: Bitsight's enterprise performance package lists at $138,550 on AWS Marketplace, SecurityScorecard's 75-domain plan at $155,375.

Since the price is a wash, choose on what the rating has to do for you. If your board, your insurer or your largest customer already asks for one of the two by name, that decides it. Our Bitsight pricing breakdown covers the other side of the comparison in the same format.

What else adds to a SecurityScorecard bill

• Automated questionnaires. Vendr reports $10,000 to $25,000 or more a year as an add-on when the tier you buy does not include them.
• Threat intelligence and breach notifications. Reported at $15,000 to $40,000 or more a year.
• Premium support or a dedicated success manager. Reported at $10,000 to $30,000 or more a year.
• Professional services. $10,000 to $50,000 or more for configuration, integrations or program design.
• Non-refundable terms. The AWS listing states that all fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable except as the law or the MSA provides. Read the renewal and termination clauses in a direct contract with the same care.

Add those up and a first-year SecurityScorecard program for a mid-sized vendor list can land well above the $23,619 median before a single questionnaire has been sent.

Is SecurityScorecard worth the price?

It is worth it when an outside-in rating is the deliverable. Ratings are quick to deploy, need nothing from the vendor, and give a procurement team a signal on hundreds of companies in a day. For monitoring a long tail of low-risk vendors between assessments, that is hard to beat.

It is a harder case when your real problem is proving that critical vendors run the controls they claim, and passing your own audits at the same time. A rating reads what the internet can see: open ports, certificates, leaked credentials, patch cadence. It does not read a vendor's SOC 2 exceptions or confirm a signed BAA. Our TPRM software comparison lays out where ratings tools stop and assessment tools begin, and the SecurityScorecard alternative page covers the switch in detail.

SecurityScorecard pricing vs Scrutineer pricing

Scrutineer publishes every plan on its pricing page, so the fair comparison is published price against observed price.

To be straight about it: Scrutineer does not produce a SecurityScorecard grade, and if a customer contract requires one, keep the rating. If what you actually need is to assess 300 vendors against the controls you care about, collect their documents and keep your own SOC 2 current, Risk+ does that at a fixed price you can read before the first call.

How to negotiate a SecurityScorecard quote

Walk in with your vendor list already tiered. Put the vendors that hold your data or touch production in the full-scorecard group and the rest on partial visibility; the vendor tiering guide gives a three-tier model you can bring to the call. Then count domains, not vendors, since that is how the published listing meters.

After that, use the levers buyers report working. Multi-year commitments commonly earn 15 to 30 percent off. A live competitive evaluation is the strongest lever there is, so run it properly: book the Bitsight, UpGuard and SecurityScorecard demos inside the same two weeks, which is far easier when every vendor picks a slot from one shared booking link instead of a week of email tag. Ask for the escalator to be capped, implementation to be waived at your volume, and questionnaires to be included rather than sold as an add-on. For how other platforms meter the same work, see third-party risk management software pricing and the published tiers in our UpGuard pricing guide.

How to get an accurate SecurityScorecard quote

Bring four numbers to the first call: vendors that need full scorecards, vendors that only need partial visibility, the total count of domains across both groups, and the date your current tool renews. With those, a rep can quote something you can compare line by line against the AWS per-domain math above. Without them, the first number rests on their assumptions, and those rarely favor the buyer.
