How to read this guide
A trust center is the page you send a prospect so their security team can review your posture - your SOC 2, policies, control summary, and subprocessors - and request the gated documents themselves instead of emailing you. Almost every tool below does that. Where they differ is price, whether the trust page is a standalone product or bundled inside a bigger platform you have to buy, and what you give up on a free tier. So the useful question is not "which is best" but "which is best for me."
Here is the full field at a glance. Pricing is current as of the date in the caption, and every figure links to the source we verified it against.

If you want the lowest sticker price
Two tools compete hard on price. Cyberbase offers a free-forever trust center, and SimpleTrustPortal is a flat $20/month - lower than DeliverTrust, and honest to say so. SimpleTrustPortal also bundles SAML SSO in its single plan, which DeliverTrust does not offer today (SSO is on our roadmap with no committed date). If your one requirement is "share a few documents behind an NDA for as little as possible," start with one of those two.
The trade-off is that the lowest-priced tools tend to be simpler document-sharing portals rather than a full, branded trust center. That is fine until a buyer wants to actually read your posture in context - your control attestation, your subprocessors, your custom pages. If you expect to grow into that, factor it in now.
If you want a free page to start (watch the cliff)
"Free" is the most common hook, and it is worth understanding what the free tier costs you later. UpGuard Trust Exchange is the clearest example. Its free tier publishes one trust center - but that page carries an UpGuard logo and message in the footer, has no custom domain, and no PDF watermarking. To remove the branding, put the page on your own domain, and add watermarks, you move to the paid tier, which starts at $600/month. That is the free-to-cliff pattern: the entry is free, and the features you will actually want in front of a customer sit on the far side of a large jump.
Cyberbase's free-forever tier is a genuinely free trust page and a reasonable place to start if deflecting questionnaires is your whole goal. The general rule: before you commit to a free tier, look at what the next tier up costs and what it unlocks, because that is the price you are really signing up for.
If you want a complete, standalone trust page at a flat, public price
This is the gap DeliverTrust is built for. It is a standalone trust center - not a feature of a larger platform you have to buy - at a flat $50/month, listed publicly, with the things you actually put in front of a customer included in the base price: your own custom domain, per-tenant encryption, a self-serve NDA flow with optional one-click manual review, and watermarked downloads. There is no free tier with vendor branding to escape and no enterprise cliff to hit; the price on the page is the price.
Being honest about where that is not the winning answer: DeliverTrust is not the lowest-priced option (Cyberbase is free; SimpleTrustPortal is $20), and it does not offer SAML SSO today. The defensible claim is narrower and true - it is the most complete standalone trust page at flat, transparent pricing, without an enterprise cliff. If that is what you are choosing, it is a strong fit.
If you are buying a compliance platform anyway
Vanta, Drata (which now owns SafeBase), and Conveyor are not really trust-center products - they are compliance-automation and security-review platforms that include a trust center. If you are already going to buy one of them to run evidence collection, continuous monitoring, or questionnaire automation, the bundled trust center is a sensible way to get the page without adding another vendor. Their pricing is not public and is quoted per deal, so budget for an enterprise conversation.
If you are not buying the platform - if all you need is to publish your posture and share your SOC 2 safely - paying platform prices to get the trust page is the wrong shape. That is the whole reason the standalone tools above exist.
Who should pick which
- Lowest price, simple needs: SimpleTrustPortal ($20/mo, in-plan SSO) or Cyberbase (free forever).
- Free to start, eyes open on the upgrade: Cyberbase, or UpGuard Trust Exchange if you can live with its footer branding until you are ready for the paid tier.
- A complete, branded, standalone trust page at a flat public price: DeliverTrust.
- You are buying compliance automation regardless: Vanta, Drata (SafeBase), or Conveyor, and take the bundled trust center.
Whichever you choose, the point of a trust center is the same: stop emailing your SOC 2 as a loose PDF and stop re-answering the same questionnaire. Any of these gets you there; the differences above are about price, completeness, and how much platform you have to buy to get the page.
