How TrustPages compares

If you are shopping for something to watch your vendors' sub-processor pages, you will meet four shapes of product. They are priced differently because they are solving different problems, and for some of those problems we are the wrong answer.

Price ranges read off live vendor sites on 1 September 2026. This category moves; check current pricing before you decide.

Lightweight subprocessor registries

Free for a handful of vendors, roughly $19-$49/month for more or unlimited

A hosted page listing your sub-processors, refreshed by daily checks of the vendors you name. The closest neighbours to what we do.

Stronger than us at

· Cheapest route to unlimited vendors, by a wide margin
· Custom subdomain for the public page at the lower paid tiers
· Free tiers exist, though they usually carry the vendor's own mark on your page

Where they stop

· The record is generally the current state plus alerts, not a dated document per change
· Review before publishing is thin or absent — updates tend to flow automatically
· Coverage is limited to the vendors the tool already tracks

Pick this instead if: You have a long vendor list, a small budget, and nobody is going to ask you to prove what a page said last quarter.

Privacy-team evidence suites

Around €99/month entry, €299 for the review workflow, €999 for roles and modules

Built for a privacy function with several people in it: monitoring plus review queues, evidence capture, and records-of-processing and transfer-assessment modules.

Stronger than us at

· Role-based access for privacy, legal and procurement working the same queue
· RoPA and Transfer Impact Assessment alongside the monitoring
· Stated EU data residency and a DPA available before purchase

Where they stop

· The review workflow and audit export sit two tiers up, not in the entry plan
· The evidence faces inward, at your auditor — there is no public page for your customers
· Trials are short and there is no permanent free plan

Pick this instead if: More than one person reviews vendor changes, or you need RoPA and TIA in the same tool. We cannot serve a two-person privacy team; they can.

General page-change monitors

Free for a handful of pages, roughly $13-$85/month for hundreds

Not compliance products. They watch any URL and tell you it moved, with an AI summary and an importance score.

Stronger than us at

· Far cheaper per page, and hundreds of pages rather than dozens
· Alerts anywhere — Slack, Teams, Discord, webhooks
· Element-level selectors and automatic discovery of new pages

Where they stop

· The output is a notification, not evidence: no decision trail, no audit export
· Nothing to show a customer — no public page, no subscriber notice
· Nothing drafts the Article 28(2) message your DPA promises

Pick this instead if: You want to know when pages change and you will handle the compliance side yourself, in a spreadsheet you already keep.

Trust centre and GRC platforms

Typically annual contracts, four to five figures

The enterprise end: a full trust centre with questionnaire automation, certifications, NDA-gated documents, and sub-processors as one section of many.

Stronger than us at

· Answers the entire security review, not only the sub-processor part
· Document libraries, access controls, integrations with the rest of the stack
· The name on the page carries weight with an enterprise buyer

Where they stop

· Priced and scoped for a company with a compliance function
· Sub-processor monitoring is a feature, not the focus, and is often manual
· Weeks to deploy rather than an afternoon

Pick this instead if: Security questionnaires are a recurring cost across your whole company and you have the budget to solve all of it at once.

Where TrustPages sits

3 vendor pages, permanently free, or $99/month for 25 pages. One job, done with an audit in mind.

The documents, not just the diff

Every detected change stores the vendor's page as it read before and after, each with a content hash and a timestamp, plus who reviewed it and when. “What did this page say in March” has an answer.

Nothing publishes without you

Changes are classified material or cosmetic, and only high-confidence cosmetic edits publish themselves. Everything else waits in a queue with a side-by-side diff.

Export on every plan

The whole history leaves as one CSV — dates, vendors, classifications, hashes, decisions — including on the free plan. It is the file you actually get asked for.

The customer notice, drafted

Your DPA promises customers a heads-up under Article 28(2). We draft it from the change itself, so the step that usually gets skipped is a review rather than a blank page.

Any URL, including the awkward ones

Pages that only render with JavaScript are fetched with a real browser, so coverage is not limited to a list of vendors we happen to track.

What we don't have

· 25 pages on the paid plan, where cheaper tools offer unlimited.
· The public trust page lives on a usetrustpages.com address; there is no custom domain yet.
· Email alerts only — no Slack, no webhooks, no API.
· One login per account: no roles for a privacy team working together.
· No RoPA, no Transfer Impact Assessments, no questionnaire automation.

If one of these is a requirement, one of the categories above is a better buy than we are.
