Choose Sprinto if you want a high-touch managed-service experience where the vendor's team works alongside you through your first audit, and you don't mind quote-based pricing or non-US data domicile.
Choose LukaGRC if you want transparent per-user pricing, all 40+ frameworks included from day one, AI questionnaire answering with source citations, tamper-evident SHA-256 evidence chains, and US-domiciled infrastructure.
Pricing: what you'll actually pay
LukaGRC publishes pricing: $49/user/month on Starter, $99/user/month on Professional. All frameworks, all modules, included. Full pricing.
Sprinto does not publish list pricing. Reported figures from buyers on G2 and Reddit cluster around $8,000–$15,000/year for SOC 2 starter packages, with scope-based uplift for additional frameworks. Multi-framework bundles typically run $15,000–$30,000/year for small teams.
Framework coverage
Both platforms cover the standard set: SOC 2 (Type I + II), ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, and NIST CSF. The differences come down to how coverage is delivered.
| Capability | LukaGRC | Sprinto |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type I + II | Yes | Yes |
| ISO 27001:2022 + Annex A (93 controls) | Yes | Yes |
| HIPAA Security Rule + BAA tracking | Yes | Yes |
| PCI DSS 4.0 | Yes | Yes |
| NIST CSF 2.0 (all 6 functions) | Yes | CSF 1.1 |
| FedRAMP / CMMC 2.0 | Yes (all plans) | Not natively |
| Custom frameworks | Yes | Yes |
| Frameworks gated behind plan tier | No — all 40+ included | Some — varies by tier |
Where each platform wins
Sprinto is stronger at
- High-touch customer success. Sprinto's customer success team meets with you regularly and walks you through your first audit. If you want a hand-held experience and have never done a SOC 2 before, that white-glove approach is real value.
- Quick onboarding for cloud-native startups. Sprinto's integrations with AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and major HRIS systems light up controls quickly. If your stack is mainstream and you want auto-pilot evidence collection, Sprinto delivers.
- Strong G2 review velocity. Sprinto has invested in review-collection programs and shows up well in software-comparison searches.
LukaGRC is stronger at
- Transparent per-user pricing. $49 or $99 per seat per month. No sales calls, no scope-based uplift, no framework upcharges. See the plans.
- AI questionnaire answering with citations. Drafts SIG, CAIQ, VSA, and DDQ responses from your KB + policies + evidence, with line-level citations so reviewers can verify before sending. How it works.
- Cryptographic evidence integrity. Every evidence file gets a SHA-256 hash chained to the previous entry, so the chain is tamper-evident for auditors. No competitor has this by default.
- US-domiciled infrastructure. All customer data lives in AWS us-east-1 with PostgreSQL row-level security enforcement. Enterprise procurement teams with US-data requirements close faster here.
- BC/DR and vendor risk are included. Business Impact Analysis, Recovery Plans, Tabletop Exercises, Vendor Risk Assessments — all on every plan, no upsell.

Data domicile and security architecture
LukaGRC runs on AWS us-east-1 with PostgreSQL row-level security (RLS) enforced at the database role level. Every evidence write produces a SHA-256 hash chained to the previous record, so a tampered file fails verification immediately. Tenants are isolated by both row-level policies and a dedicated low-privilege application role that cannot bypass RLS.
Sprinto operates from multi-region infrastructure with India-based primary engineering. US enterprise buyers in regulated industries (defense, federal contractors, healthcare with state-specific data residency rules) sometimes have procurement requirements that exclude non-US-domiciled SaaS. In those cases, LukaGRC's single-region US footprint can shorten procurement.
Switching from Sprinto to LukaGRC
If you're already on Sprinto, migration is usually a 4-6 hour exercise:
- Export from Sprinto: risks (CSV), vendors (CSV), evidence files (bulk download), policies (PDF / Markdown).
- Import into LukaGRC: our Data Import module accepts CSV for risks, vendors, and evidence metadata. Policy markdown imports as draft for human review.
- Re-run integrations: reconnect cloud accounts (AWS, GCP, Okta, etc.) through LukaGRC's OAuth flows. Evidence backfill begins immediately.
- Map controls: LukaGRC's framework engine re-derives most control mappings from your scope answers — no manual remapping required.

Frequently asked questions
Is LukaGRC cheaper than Sprinto?
For teams under 50 employees pursuing 1-3 frameworks, yes — typically 40-70% less, because LukaGRC doesn't paywall additional frameworks. For very small teams (under 10 employees) on a single framework, the gap is narrower; for multi-framework deployments at 30+ employees, the gap widens.
Does my auditor accept evidence from LukaGRC?
Yes. LukaGRC exports evidence in the same formats auditors expect (PDF, CSV, ZIP), with cryptographic hashes and full audit trail. The CPA firms we work with — Schellman, Prescient, A-LIGN, Insight Assurance — accept LukaGRC evidence directly.
Does LukaGRC have AI questionnaire answering like Sprinto?
Yes. LukaGRC drafts answers using only your indexed KB, active policies, and evidence — never speculation. Every drafted answer includes a citation back to the source so a human reviewer can verify before the questionnaire goes out.
Is Sprinto suitable for US companies?
Yes for most use cases — Sprinto serves US customers and partners with US-based audit firms. The company is headquartered in India with US sales operations. Some US enterprise buyers prefer compliance vendors with US-domiciled data and engineering, in which case LukaGRC's single-region US footprint is the closer fit.
