ComplyJet

ComplyJet is built for startups. Scrut is built for teams that need more configurability than they do.

Scrut Automation is a flexible compliance platform for mid-market teams that need custom workflows and broad configurability. ComplyJet is built specifically for startups getting compliant for the first time: the complete compliance stack, a team that guides you from kickoff to audit, and pricing from $5,000/year.

Configurability creates complexity for teams that haven't done this before. Clear paths beat flexible systems when you're starting from zero.

Your compliance report needs to land with confidence in enterprise due diligence — not generate follow-up questions.

$5,000/year vs $15,000/year minimum. The compliance outcome is the same; the cost is 3x lower.

Platform — "Configurability is a feature if you know what to configure"

Scrut's flexibility is its selling point for mid-market GRC teams that need custom controls, custom integrations, and custom workflows. For a startup going through compliance for the first time — unfamiliar with what "good" looks like — configurability becomes complexity.

G2 reviewers note that Scrut's setup is "overwhelming compared to Vanta's simpler, template-driven approach," and report sync delays with the Scrut Agent and difficulties connecting specific tools. If you don't have a security lead to tune the system, the flexibility works against you. ComplyJet ships with an opinionated, startup-optimised configuration. There's less to customise because less customisation is needed to get compliant.

G2 reviewer, Scrut

"Setup was overwhelming — there's a lot of configuration to do upfront, and it wasn't always clear what was required vs optional."

Support — "Credibility matters when your report lands in due diligence"

One of the less-discussed but genuinely important differences between compliance platforms is auditor brand recognition. Vanta and Drata have operated long enough that their platform outputs are familiar to enterprise security teams and procurement reviewers. Scrut is less recognised — multiple comparison sites and G2 reviewers flag that procurement teams at enterprise buyers sometimes ask follow-up questions about Scrut-issued reports that they wouldn't ask about Vanta-issued ones.

For a startup trying to close a deal, the compliance certification is only as good as the confidence it creates. ComplyJet partners with vetted, AICPA-accredited auditors whose names carry weight in enterprise procurement. The goal isn't just to get the report — it's to make the report land without friction.

Why auditor recognition matters

When your enterprise buyer's security team reviews your SOC 2, they need to recognise the auditing firm. ComplyJet matches you with auditors whose names don't generate follow-up questions in due diligence.

Pricing — "$15,000/year before the first integration"

Scrut's AWS Marketplace listing puts the entry price at $15,000/year for up to 20 employees on a single framework. That's 3x ComplyJet's base price before a single add-on. Larger teams and multi-framework setups run $15,000–$30,000/year.

For a seed-stage startup spending $5,000 with ComplyJet — and getting the full platform, dedicated support, and auditor matching — Scrut is in a different cost category for the same compliance output. The additional $10,000–$25,000/year doesn't buy a materially better SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certificate. It buys more configurability for a team that may not need it.

Scrut pricing in practice

$15,000/year entry · $15,000–$30,000/year at 50 employees · $5,000–$8,000 per additional framework. ComplyJet: $5,000/year flat, $2,000–$3,000 per additional framework.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Scrut Automation good for startups?

Scrut is built for mid-market teams that need configurable, custom workflows. For a startup getting compliant for the first time — without a security lead or GRC experience — the configurability creates friction without value. G2 reviewers describe setup as "overwhelming." ComplyJet is designed for teams with no prior compliance experience.

What does Scrut cost?

Scrut's AWS Marketplace listing shows $15,000/year for up to 20 employees on a single framework. At 50 employees or with multiple frameworks, the cost runs $15,000–$30,000/year. Additional frameworks add $5,000–$8,000 each. There is no publicly available pricing page — you need to contact sales.

How does ComplyJet compare to Scrut for a first SOC 2?

ComplyJet gets most customers to SOC 2 audit-ready in about four weeks. Scrut timelines typically run 10–16 weeks, partly because setup requires more upfront configuration effort. ComplyJet includes dedicated support, auditor matching, and team-guided onboarding in every plan — things Scrut reserves for enterprise customers.

Will enterprise buyers recognise my compliance report?

This matters more than people realise. Scrut is less recognised by enterprise procurement and security teams than Vanta, Drata, or auditors affiliated with established firms. ComplyJet matches customers with AICPA-accredited auditors whose names don't generate follow-up questions in due diligence.

How does support compare between ComplyJet and Scrut?

ComplyJet gives every customer a dedicated account manager, a 5-minute response SLA, and vetted auditor matching. Scrut's support model is primarily self-serve at the base tier, with team-guided support reserved for enterprise plans. For lean founding teams that need quick answers, the difference is substantial.

Can I migrate from Scrut to ComplyJet?

Yes. We've helped teams migrate from Scrut. Your existing policies, evidence, and control mappings carry over — you're not starting from scratch. Our team handles the transition and keeps your compliance timeline on track throughout the switch.
