Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between SafeBase and Matterlyt?
SafeBase routes inbound security questionnaires to your security team for review and response — AEs submit a request and wait. Matterlyt gives your AEs AI-generated answers instantly — no security team hand-off, no waiting, no portal your buyers have to register for. SafeBase is built for security teams; Matterlyt is built for sales.
Is Matterlyt a good SafeBase alternative for sales teams?
Yes. If your AEs are losing deals because security reviews slow things down, Matterlyt is the natural SafeBase alternative. Matterlyt lets sales handle questionnaires autonomously — with AI-generated answers ready in seconds, not days. The knowledge base is owned by your sales team, not gated behind your security org.
SafeBase has a Salesforce integration — how is Matterlyt different?
SafeBase's Salesforce integration is designed for the security team — it pulls deal data so security analysts can prioritise which questionnaires to tackle first. AEs get notifications, but they can't drive the workflow. Matterlyt's CRM integration is AE-native: answers surface inside the deal, not inside the security team's queue.
SafeBase was acquired by Drata — does that change anything?
Drata acquired SafeBase for ~$250M in February 2025. SafeBase continues as a standalone product under the Drata brand. The acquisition reinforces the compliance-first direction of the platform — Drata is a compliance automation tool for security teams. If anything, the acquisition makes the sales-vs-security buyer distinction clearer: the SafeBase/Drata stack is built for your CISO. Matterlyt is built for your CRO.
How much does SafeBase cost compared to Matterlyt?
SafeBase pricing typically ranges from $8,000 to $60,000 per year, sold to the security team. Matterlyt starts at $499/month — a fraction of the cost, with same-day setup and no security team required to operate.
