Notarize vs Proof Notarize

Notarize is an online notarization service that lets signers upload a document, verify their identity, and meet a notary over video. The workflow accepts a full document in PDF or DOCX format; identity checks use security questions and a photo of an unexpired ID. After the meeting, signers can download or share the completed document. The Notarize Network offers access to on-demand notaries 24/7, and the service says its online notarizations are accepted in all 50 states. The individual service includes unlimited document uploads. Multiple signers can participate together on one device, at the same time on separate devices, or in separate notary meetings. Notary Network membership is free. Individual notarization is $25, paid once for the first seal; additional seals are $15, paid once, additional signers are $10, paid once, and on-demand witnesses are $15, paid once. eSign is $4, paid once per transaction with unlimited signers. Business pricing varies. The service is available on web, iOS, and Android, including mobile apps for document handling and video notarization.

Proof Notarize provides remote online notarization for business workflows and important documents. Proof says its Notarize Network is available on demand 24/7, 365 days a year, and that its notarizations are accepted in all 50 states. Identity checks use credential analysis, knowledge-based authentication, and biometric comparison. A business can bring its own notaries or use the network, and a notary can request an on-demand witness during a signing. Businesses can apply their logo and colors. Proof lists use in real estate, financial services and lending, business contracts, legal and estate planning, and insurance. Its Defend service analyzes video frames in real time for deepfake signals. Signers can use a phone browser without downloading an app for most transactions, though real estate transactions cannot be completed in the Notarize app. Pro+ costs $199 a month plus transaction fees and includes API access, custom branding, forms, and signing rules. Pro is billed at $0 per month plus transaction fees; higher business tiers have custom pricing.
