Precept vs. The Market

Enterprise compliance.
Not the enterprise price.

The tools you've heard of charge $20,000/year and take three months to implement. Precept scans your site in 5 minutes and starts at $49/month.

OneTrust / TrustArc: $10,000–$150,000/yr
Scytale / Sprinto: $5,000–$50,000/yr
Precept: $49–$399/mo

Why businesses switch from enterprise tools

The compliance software they sold you was built for Fortune 500 legal teams — not the growing company trying to get CCPA-ready before a sales call.

🔒

Pricing hidden behind a demo

Scytale, Sprinto, TrustArc, and OneTrust all require a sales call before revealing price. You'll get a six-figure quote.

3-month implementation timelines

Enterprise GRC platforms require dedicated IT resources, consultants, and months of integrations before you're compliant.

🧩

Feature bloat you'll never use

SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, 200+ frameworks — all priced in. You need CCPA compliance, not a full GRC operations center.

📋

Built for compliance teams, not yours

If you don't have a dedicated DPO or a privacy ops team, enterprise tools will confuse more than they help.

💰

Price you can see before a demo.

$49 Starter. $149 Professional. $399 Enterprise. No hidden seats, no per-user fees, no "contact sales." You know what you're paying before you sign up.

vs. Scytale/Sprinto hidden pricing → Precept: 100% transparent
🎯

CCPA specialists. Not a 200-framework platform.

Sprinto covers 200+ frameworks. Scytale covers 80+. We cover US state privacy law and we cover it deeply. Breadth costs you focus — we chose focus.

vs. "one platform, everything" → Precept: expert depth on what matters
📤

Board-ready reports in seconds.

Compliance reports you can share with your legal team, investors, or a prospective customer — with a link, instantly. No PDF export, no compliance portal login required.

vs. enterprise trust centers → Precept: instant shareable links
🏗️

No IT team required.

The enterprise tools need IT resources to deploy, integrate, and maintain. Precept needs a URL. Zero infrastructure, zero maintenance, zero IT tickets.

vs. TrustArc's months-long deployment → Precept: works today
📈

Continuous monitoring, not a one-time audit.

Your site changes. Privacy laws update. Precept's Professional and Enterprise plans monitor continuously — not just a point-in-time report when you remember to run one.

vs. annual audit culture → Precept: always current

The market gap we fill

Most compliance tools are either too lightweight or too heavy. Precept owns the middle.

Too Lightweight
$0–$20/mo
Cookie banners and policy generators. Gets you to "we have a privacy policy" — not actual compliance.
Termly · Enzuzo · Secure Privacy
⚡ Precept's Zone
$49–$399/mo
Real compliance analysis. Growing businesses who need actual answers — not a banner, not a $20k platform.
→ This is Precept
Too Heavy
$20k–$150k/yr
Full GRC platforms. Built for enterprise legal teams with dedicated compliance staff. Overkill for most.
OneTrust · TrustArc · Scytale · Sprinto
