Vanta is Absorbing Token Costs to Prioritize AI Agent Usage

Christina Cacioppo discusses Vanta's pricing strategy regarding AI models, noting that customers are too smart to accept marked-up Claude tokens. Instead of passing token costs through with a markup, Vanta is currently eating the token cost and accepting lower margins to drive usage and get agents into more customer workflows.
