Deployment and who each one targets

Deployment for Proof: Cloud, API, national notary network. Deployment for BlueNotary: Cloud, white label and API on the enterprise tier.

Segment focus for BlueNotary: Independent notaries, small title and escrow shops, and businesses that need occasional RON. The two entries name different buyers.

What each record credits

Proof: Publishes per-transaction rates, including $99 per mortgage meeting in-house and $45 on-network. Proof: Sells $4 per signer identity checks and Defend, which pure RON vendors lack. Proof: Snapdocs names Proof as its RON partner, third-party evidence of mortgage production use. BlueNotary: Rate card published: 45 dollars per eClosing, 37 dollars per notary monthly. BlueNotary: Free notary tier and five free eSignature sessions monthly make trials cheap. BlueNotary: Title underwriter eClosing approvals published, First American and Old Republic among them.

What each record holds against them

Proof: Lender pricing stays custom, so the biggest-volume buyers get the least transparency. Proof: Its own site names no LOS or POS, and no title production system. Proof: The $200 billion annual transaction value claim carries no independent audit. BlueNotary: No LOS or title production integrations named anywhere on the public site. BlueNotary: API access and white labelling gated behind the unpriced Enterprise tier. BlueNotary: No stated eNote or MERS eRegistry support, so full digital closings unproven.

Which one fits which shop

Best fit for Proof: A title agency that wants published RON rates and the option to use its own notaries. Best fit for BlueNotary: Title agents who want per-closing notarization pricing without an enterprise contract.

What each entry concludes

Proof: Proof is the company formerly known as Notarize, and it now calls itself an identity platform. Proof: It sells Notarize for RON, Close for eClosings, Identify and Verify for identity, and Defend for deepfake. BlueNotary: BlueNotary is a remote online notarization platform sold to notaries and to the businesses hiring them. BlueNotary: It is unusual here for publishing its full rate card.

The short answer

Proof finishes ahead on the published rubric, 4 to 2.5. The margin comes mostly from Integrations and ecosystem. Same rubric, same weights, no sponsorships.
