How we compare
Ground rules we hold ourselves to
Same document, same job, both totals line by line — and their numbers come straight from their own pricing pages.
Their prices, as published
Every competitor number comes from their own website, checked July 2026, and is labeled that way. When they change it, we update it.
Same job, same math
Each page walks the same concrete scenario — one document, notarized online and the original mailed — and shows both totals line by line.
We say where they win
Every page has a “where they're the better choice” section, because sometimes they are. If a single $25 seal is all you need, we'll tell you.
The fairest comparison is a finished document.
Upload it, watch the receipt build line by line, and decide before you pay.
