Comparison

COI Shield vs. traditional tracking services

Outsourced certificate review solved this problem for enterprises a decade ago — with human review queues, per-certificate fees and sales-led onboarding. AI changes the economics for everyone else.

Who reads the certificate

Traditional services

A human review team, typically on a queue measured in days.

COI Shield

AI reads it in seconds, the moment it is uploaded — and flags anything it is not confident about instead of guessing.

Pricing

Traditional services

Usually "contact sales", often priced per certificate or per review.

COI Shield

Public flat plans by roster size, from $150/mo. The price on the pricing page is the price.

Getting started

Traditional services

Sales call, onboarding project, implementation timeline.

COI Shield

Self-serve: import a spreadsheet, set requirements, send links. First certificate verified the same hour.

Your subs’ experience

Traditional services

Portals with accounts and passwords — the main reason subs do not comply.

COI Shield

A private link. No account, no password, nothing to install.

Requirements

Traditional services

Company-wide templates, changes go through support.

COI Shield

Per job-site, edited by you, re-graded instantly.

Proof

Traditional services

Reports on request.
