Pricing posture
Proof publishes pricing. Its listed model is per-transaction, published rates for business and title, custom for lenders. DocProbe does not publish pricing. Its listed model is per loan processed, rates not published. One of the two can be costed before a sales call, the other cannot.
Deployment and who each one targets
Deployment for Proof: Cloud, API, national notary network. Deployment for DocProbe: Outsourced service with a document platform and LOS delivery. Segment focus for Proof: Title agencies and businesses that need notarization plus identity verification, with lender deals priced separately. Segment focus for DocProbe: Post-closing departments chasing trailing documents from title companies and shipping to investors. 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. DocProbe: Covers the whole trailing-document chain, retrieval through audit, indexing, and investor delivery. DocProbe: Charges per loan processed, so cost falls with volume instead of sitting fixed. DocProbe: States a no-penalty guarantee tied to document delivery.
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. DocProbe: No LOS or imaging integrations named, only a generic reference to your LOS. DocProbe: Managed service, not licensable software, so process changes sit with the vendor. DocProbe: Per-loan rates unpublished and no minimum volume stated.
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 DocProbe: Lenders whose post-closing team spends its week phoning title companies for final policies.
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. DocProbe: DocProbe is an outsourced trailing-document operation with software attached, run by the Madison group that also owns Madison. DocProbe: It is not a document generation or eClosing platform.
