The short version

  • Only Arnica has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Arnica per-identity pricing ($25-$50/person/year) requires tracking active developers; LogicManager the flat fee is quoted per organisation and not published, so the pricing model that makes LogicManager attractive still cannot be compared without a sales process.
  • They diverge on capability: Arnica covers AI SAST, LogicManager covers Risk taxonomy.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Arnica

  • Per-identity pricing ($25-$50/person/year) requires tracking active developers
  • Overage identity tracking via 90-day PR activity can be unpredictable
  • Free plan limited to weekly updates, requiring upgrade for real-time scanning
  • Advanced add-ons (Image Scanning, AI SAST, Agentic Rules Enforcer) pricing not published
  • On-premises deployment limited to Enterprise tier

LogicManager

  • The flat fee is quoted per organisation and not published, so the pricing model that makes LogicManager attractive still cannot be compared without a sales process.
  • Configuration depth means the taxonomy has to be designed properly before rollout, and organisations that skip that step end up with a structure that cannot answer the linkage questions the tool exists to answer.
  • Reporting and dashboarding are functional rather than flexible, and teams wanting bespoke board reporting commonly export to Power BI, which reintroduces the manual step they were removing.
  • Quantitative risk modelling is limited compared with specialist tools, so organisations needing Monte Carlo style loss simulation will need something else alongside it.
  • The user interface is dated relative to newer compliance automation tools, and infrequent business users often need repeat training, which erodes the participation benefit that unlimited licensing is supposed to deliver.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Arnica: How are identities defined in Arnica pricing?

Identities are any users and other contributing entities that contributed code and/or had PR activity during the last 90 days. This ensures billing matches active developers.

Source
LogicManager: Is LogicManager really unlimited users?

Yes. It licences on a fixed annual fee covering the organisation rather than per seat, which is the main reason mid-market buyers pick it.

Arnica: What is the annual discount?

Annual prepayment offers approximately 17% savings versus monthly billing. Core Business annual is $300/identity versus $360 for monthly.

Source
LogicManager: What does it cost?

Not published. Mid-market ERM platforms of this class typically sit in the low tens of thousands of dollars a year, quoted by scope.

Arnica: Can I cancel or downgrade Arnica anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions can be cancelled or downgraded at any time. Overage identities receive automatic protection with true-up invoicing.

Source
LogicManager: Is it a compliance automation tool like Drata?

No. It is enterprise risk management with audit and vendor risk, not continuous control monitoring for SOC 2 evidence collection.

LogicManager: How long does implementation take?

Weeks to a few months, far shorter than the enterprise GRC suites, provided the risk taxonomy is agreed up front.
