Cost considerations
UpGuard publishes clear annual prices and a free tier, includes continuous monitoring and unlimited questionnaires, so budgeting is straightforward. The mid-market fees compare favorably with rivals that hide pricing, yet costs rise when a program exceeds 150 vendors or when optional deep-dive features are added. Most mid-size teams get solid coverage for the money, but paying more for larger vendor counts keeps overall cost from being best-in-class.

Compatibility
UpGuard provides a REST API, webhooks, and native connectors for ServiceNow Vendor Risk, Jira, Slack and many other apps via Zapier. The product also supports SAML-based single sign-on with major identity providers. ERP or SIEM tools must connect through the API or CSV, so some scripting is required, leaving compatibility strong but not all-inclusive.
