Comparison
A VendorLens alternative when you want a living vendor list page
VendorLens Community Free can launch a trust center at no monthly fee, with documents and NDA requests in the plan. Trust Prep is narrower: a living vendor list for a customer security review, free to build and preview, and $19 a month when you publish the link reviewers open.
The short answer
Pick VendorLens when you want a free or low-cost trust center with room for documents, NDA requests, and later upgrades to custom domain and full branding on Pro.
Pick Trust Prep when the deal is waiting on a current vendor list and one link, and you do not need NDA gating, a document library, or vendor assessments this week.
Both products expect you to keep answers honest. Neither one completes a security questionnaire for you.
What VendorLens lists on its public pricing page
Community Free launches a trust center at no monthly fee. The plan includes up to 10 documents and 10 NDA requests per month. Full branding without the VendorLens footer is not included on Community Free. A custom domain is not included on Community Free.
Pro is $99 a month. It adds a custom domain, full branding, and higher limits. Their page mentions a 14-day free trial on Pro.
Business is $299 a month, with higher or unlimited tiers and priority support. Single sign-on and SCIM are listed as coming soon, not yet available.
VendorLens positions the product as an affordable trust center with lightweight Vendor Assessments in beta. Their page states they do not maintain an AI questionnaire-answer library and do not complete questionnaires.
What Trust Prep is built for
Trust Prep is a living vendor trust page for a customer security review. You publish who touches customer data, keep the list current, and send one link.
You can build the list and preview the page before you pay. $19 a month publishes the link a security reviewer opens, copies from, and downloads. Reviewers with the link do not need an account. Publishing turns on after we confirm your payment.

Free how-to guides for security reviews are on the guides hub. Trust Prep does not offer a custom domain, NDA-gated portal, email change notices, or auto-filled questionnaire answers in the product today.
Which one fits this review
Choose VendorLens Community Free when you want a trust center live at no monthly fee, you can live inside 10 documents and 10 NDA requests a month, and you accept that full branding without the VendorLens footer waits for a paid plan.
Choose Trust Prep when the buyer only asked for a vendor or subprocessor list, you already have the rows, and you want to preview the page before you decide to publish.
Choose VendorLens Pro or Business when custom domain, full branding, higher limits, or their assessment beta matter more than a thin vendor list page.
Choose Trust Prep when $19 a month for the published link is the whole budget line, and you will answer questionnaire rows from your own doc plus the free guides.
What to expect from either product
Neither VendorLens nor Trust Prep replaces your security story. You still decide what is true about your product and your vendors.
Neither one is a SOC 2 program, a contract scanner, or a promise that every questionnaire row is done.
If you need vendor assessments, document limits, or NDA workflow, compare VendorLens plans on their site. If you only need the list link, weigh that against Trust Prep pricing.
