I Evaluated Every AI Compliance Tool on the Market. Here's What I Found.

Silicate , so obviously I looked at every competitor in this space. I'm going to tell you what I found. What things actually cost. Where each tool falls short. Including mine. Every "best AI compliance tools" article you'll find online is written by a vendor who ranks themselves in the top 3. Drata wrote one. Sprinto wrote one. CO-AIMS wrote one. I'm also a vendor, so take everything I say with that context. But at least I'm not going to pretend otherwise. These Are Three Different Problems Every comparison article mixes up three completely different categories. It confuses buyers and I think some vendors do it on purpose. Regulatory tracking. Which laws exist. When they change. What they require. The "what applies to me?" problem. You need this before anything else. Compliance automation. Proving you comply. Connecting to your infrastructure, collecting evidence, generating audit ready docs. Vanta and Drata. AI governance. Managing your AI systems. Risk classification, bias testing, model monitoring. Credo AI and Holistic AI. Buying a compliance automation platform when you don't even know which regulations apply to you is solving the wrong problem first.
