SafeBase Alternative: a focused, self-serve questionnaire tool
Drata announced its acquisition of SafeBase in February 2025, and safebase.io now redirects to drata.com, where the Trust Center and AI Questionnaire Assistance are sold as Drata's Assurance Platform. If you mainly need vendor security questionnaires answered, here's an honest comparison, sourced from Drata's own pages as of September 2026.
TL;DR
SafeBase made its name as a Trust Center. Under Drata, the Trust Center and AI Questionnaire Assistance are sold together as the Assurance Platform in three tiers, priced on request; the entry tier lists assistance for 10 questionnaires. Compliance Concierge is a self-serve tool built around answering questionnaires, with published prices and EU hosting by default.

Feature deep-dive
Built for one job
Compliance Concierge doesn't try to be a continuous compliance monitoring platform. It does one thing: upload your policies and the incoming questionnaire, get cited drafts, review, export. If you already have a GRC tool for audit prep, this slots in next to it instead of replacing it.
Answer Library, not shelfware
On paid plans you can import old questionnaires into an Answer Library, so previously reviewed answers resurface automatically on the next questionnaire.
No procurement friction to start
There's no demo call required to try it. Sign up, upload your first questionnaire for free, and decide from there.
Frequently asked questions
Is SafeBase still a separate product?+
SafeBase is now part of Drata. Drata announced the acquisition on 11 February 2025, and safebase.io now redirects to drata.com. On Drata's plans page (as of September 2026), the Trust Center and AI Questionnaire Assistance are sold as the Assurance Platform in Foundation, Advanced and Enterprise tiers, listed separately from Drata's GRC Platform.
What does SafeBase (via Drata) cost now?+
Drata doesn't publish prices; its plans page offers personalized pricing through its sales team. The Assurance Foundation tier lists AI questionnaire assistance for 10 questionnaires, with additional questionnaires available as an add-on. Compliance Concierge's prices are published: free to start, €299/month for Pro, €699/month for Business.
Is questionnaire answering the main feature?+
SafeBase built its name on Trust Centers — Drata's acquisition announcement calls it the leading Trust Center solution for the enterprise — and the Assurance Platform still pairs the Trust Center with AI Questionnaire Assistance. If answering questionnaires is your main need and you don't plan to publish a trust center, a tool built around that workflow may fit better.
Does it offer EU data residency?+
Drata's plans page doesn't say where Trust Center and questionnaire data are hosted. If your customers or NIS2/DORA obligations require EU-hosted processing, ask Drata to confirm the hosting region in writing before signing. Compliance Concierge stores and processes questionnaire and evidence data in the EU for every account by default.
