Proof review
Proof is a Mortgage Document & eClosing product from Notarize, Inc. (dba Proof.com). MortgageTechReview scores Proof 4.0 out of 5.0, ranking Proof #7 of the 21 products tracked in Mortgage Document & eClosing Software, as of August 11, 2026. Scores on MortgageTechReview are weighted across five axes and are never paid for or influenced by a vendor relationship.
Proof is the company formerly known as Notarize, and it now calls itself an identity platform. It sells Notarize for RON, Close for eClosings, Identify and Verify for identity, and Defend for deepfake and fraud detection. Title agencies are the clearest fit, with published rates of $99 per meeting in-house or $45 on the network. The decider is whether the identity and fraud layer matters to you, because that separates Proof from pure RON vendors. Focus is the limit for mortgage buyers, since Proof also sells into solar, automotive, insurance and healthcare. Lender pricing is the one tier still held behind a sales call.

Proof wins 0 of 5 axes against DocMagic, on the weight profile published for this category. Full head-to-head →
Where it wins
- Publishes per-transaction rates, including $99 per mortgage meeting in-house and $45 on-network
- Sells $4 per signer identity checks and Defend, which pure RON vendors lack
- Snapdocs names Proof as its RON partner, third-party evidence of mortgage production use
- Use your notaries or the network, with the price gap stated openly
Where it falls short
- Lender pricing stays custom, so the biggest-volume buyers get the least transparency
- Its own site names no LOS or POS, and no title production system
- The $200 billion annual transaction value claim carries no independent audit
- Identity positioning spans many industries, so mortgage roadmap priority is harder to judge
Why it scores 4.0
Scored on the Documents & eClosing weight profile. The number shows where it sits in this category. It rests on evidence anyone can check, including the vendor's own record. The weights →
Production impact
25% of scoreA closing that needed a notary at a kitchen table happens on video instead. When in-house capacity runs out, the network takes the overflow, so a title operation flexes without rebuilding its process. That dual model is the practical part. The identity products cut a different loss. Identify, Verify and Defend go at fraud and deepfakes rather than time, and Proof publishes no savings figure for them. Time saved is the part you can count.
Functionality and depth
30% of scoreOn the closing side, the depth is in the meeting itself. Notarize covers remote online notarization and Close covers the real estate closing. The video meeting flow is shaped by heavy consumer use. What the platform does not carry publicly is document generation or an eVault. That is why it appears inside other closing platforms rather than replacing them. Identity extras ride alongside: Identify and Verify for identity checks, plus Defend for real-time fraud and deepfake detection.
Integrations and ecosystem
20% of scoreThe most useful integration evidence comes from outside Proof. Snapdocs lists Proof and Notarize as its RON provider. That puts Proof inside the biggest eClosing platform in the category. Proof’s own site names no lending or title system. Its pricing page reserves integrations for Premium and above, so Pro tier buyers should confirm what API access they get.
Adoption and support
10% of scoreConsumers with no training complete notarizations here at volume, and the meeting flow shows it was built for them. Title agencies get published rates, $99 per meeting in-house and $45 on the network, plus their own onboarding path, so a small agency can see the price without asking. Lender pricing stays custom, so the biggest buyers get the least of that transparency. The other risk is organisational. Solar, automotive, insurance and healthcare sit on the same platform, and a mortgage buyer is one priority among several.
Return on spend
15% of scorePublished rates are worth money in diligence. You model the cost before you speak to anyone, which few competitors allow. At $99 per meeting on your own notaries, a title agency doing volume will lean on the $45 network rate, and that means depending on Proof’s notary supply instead of your own. Identity checks at $4 per signer look cheap alone and add up across a file with several parties. Lender pricing stays custom.
On price. Business and title pricing is published. Business Pro runs $25 per notarization with in-house notaries, or $10 through the Notarize Network. Identity verification is $4 per signer and signatures are $4 per transaction. Title Pro is $99 per mortgage meeting in-house or $45 on the network, with ancillary documents at $35 and $25. Lender Premium is custom, so lenders still have to ask.
