Compare your options, including the ones that aren't us

Every comparison here comes from the same rule: publish the real numbers, name what each approach costs, and say plainly when something other than an agent is the right answer for your practice.

How we write these

Every number is sourced

Industry benchmarks link to the primary source. Our own figures link to the pricing page they come from.

Vendor claims carry a date

What a company publishes changes. Anything we say about another vendor names the day we checked it.

We recommend against ourselves

If a clearinghouse fits your volume better, the page says so. That is what makes the other rows worth reading.
