Price ranges are typical of the publicly listed figures we saw for each category in September 2026 and are shown for orientation only; check the vendor you are considering before you rely on them. None of these products is a substitute for the CPA firm that performs the examination.

OptionListed priceWhat you getHow it relates to Policyseed
Static template packsTypically $59 to $149 one-timeA set of Word or Google Docs policy templates with placeholders to fill in by hand.No customization engine, so the same document goes to every buyer; you edit the stack details yourself. Policyseed's free tier renders the stack details for you; the Audit Kit rewrites two sections per policy around your named tools.
One-time AI policy generatorsTypically $150 to $250AI-assisted policy generation for one company from a questionnaire.Comparable output shape (documents generated from a questionnaire) at a higher one-time price. Check the current feature list and formats on the vendor's site before comparing.
Subscription policy generatorsTypically $39 to $79 per monthSubscription policy generator, primarily for ISO 27001, with SOC 2 mappings.A subscription of this size costs more than the Audit Kit within the first two months. If you need continuous document management rather than a one-time set, a subscription may still be the right fit.
Consultants and fractional CISOs$1,250 to $2,750 for a policy setA person interviews you and writes or adapts the policies, often from their own template library.You get judgment and context that a generator cannot provide. Many consultants start from a generated set to spend the engagement hours on controls and evidence instead of prose; the Agency license exists for that.
Compliance automation platforms$7,500 or more per yearContinuous control monitoring, integrations with your cloud and HR systems, evidence collection, auditor portals, and a policy library as one module.A different product: policies are a small part of what you pay for. Policyseed does not do monitoring, integrations or evidence collection; if you need those, the platform's policy module may come with them.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a subscription?
No. The generator, templates and CLI are free under Apache-2.0. The Audit Kit and the Agency license are one-time purchases; there is nothing to cancel and nothing renews.
What is the difference between the Audit Kit and the Agency license?
The Audit Kit is one license key for one company with 4 generation passes (88 policy runs). The Agency license is one key with 440 runs, enough for five companies at four passes each, intended for consultants, fractional CISOs and managed service providers running the kit for clients under their own engagement.
Does the price include tax?
Prices are shown in USD before tax. Polar, the merchant of record, adds any VAT or sales tax that applies to your location at checkout and issues the receipt. Discount codes are entered on the Polar checkout page.
What happens after I pay?
Polar redirects you to the download page, which resolves your license key, tailors the 22 policies one at a time with Claude using the answers you gave, and builds the ZIP in your browser. There is no account; keep the download link and the ZIP.
What does the free tier leave out?
Only the AI tailoring and the audit-prep files: Word documents, the criteria crosswalk and evidence checklist, the acknowledgment form, the review calendar and the auditor Q&A README. The 22 policies themselves, with your answers rendered into them, are free and complete.
Can I get a refund?
Yes: a full refund within 14 days of purchase, on request, with no reason required, even if you have downloaded the kit. Email the support address on your Polar receipt with your order id.

Policyseed provides governance policy templates and AI tailoring. It is not legal advice and not a compliance guarantee. Management adopts the policies; the CPA firm performs the SOC 2 examination.
