GoldFynch vs Venio eDiscovery

GoldFynch is a cloud-based eDiscovery service for managing and reviewing legal case data. It automatically processes uploaded files, including OCR to make scanned text searchable. Users can search documents, emails, and images, refine results with metadata, and combine terms using Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. Reviews, redactions, and productions can be handled in the browser, with no extra production charge. Supported files and archives include PDF, PST, MBOX, MSG, EML, Office documents, TIFF, JPEG, ZIP, and RAR. Cases can be shared with unlimited users at no additional user fee, with roles and permissions controlling access. The free case allows one case per new account, up to 512 MB stored and 1 GB processed, and expires after 90 days; productions carry a GoldFynch watermark. Paid cases start with the 3 GB case at $27 a month, billed monthly and prorated, with unlimited users, productions, and processing. GoldFynch runs on the vendor cloud and is available on the web. Founded in 2016, it is a Mazira product based in Iowa City, Iowa.
