Home // Posts // Secured Signing or Proof: Which RON Platform Delivers More
Proof built its reputation on its notarization services. But that convenience comes at a cost, and for notaries, title companies, law firms, and enterprises with in‑house notaries handling serious volume, those costs add up fast. Here’s how the two platforms stack up.
Proof was one of the early pioneers of Remote Online Notarization and helped drive widespread adoption of RON across the United States. Its consumer-facing brand is well known, and many businesses are familiar with its services.
However, brand recognition doesn’t automatically make a platform the best fit for every business.
As transaction volumes grow, factors such as pricing transparency, support for international signers, fraud prevention capabilities, workflow integrations, and scalability become increasingly important. These are areas where organizations should carefully evaluate whether a platform aligns with their operational requirements.
Proof primarily uses a per-transaction pricing model. While this may appear straightforward initially, costs can increase significantly as transaction volumes grow.
Standard notarizations typically begin around $25 per document, but actual costs can vary depending on document type, location, and workflow requirements. Additional services such as witnesses, seals, identity verification checks, document storage, API usage, and multi-signer transactions may incur extra fees.
On top of that, Proof charges platform fees per transaction, typically in the $10–$15 range, that aren’t always surfaced prominently upfront.
For the occasional notarization, these fees may feel inconsequential. For a title company processing hundreds of closings, a month, or an independent notary building a practice around RON, they compound quickly.
Secured Signing operates on a subscription model, starting at $36 per user per month (billed at $430 annually). That base plan includes 600 document uploads, 50 Secured Signing Credits (valued at $50), free onboarding, no setup fees, and a free On Demand Notary listing.
Additional costs are itemised and disclosed upfront:
Additional User cost $10 per month (billed Annually $120) up to 10 users/ notaries
ID Verification (NIST IAL2 compliant): $3.00 per check
Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA): $1.00 per check
Realify Deepfake Detection: $1.00 per scan, per participant
Digital eSeal: $5 for the first stamp, $1 for each additional stamp on same document
RON meeting audio and video: $5 per session
For organizations processing higher transaction volumes, Secured Signing also offers capped and flat-fee pricing options for IPEN and RON meetings. This helps create predictable operating costs and removes the uncertainty often associated with per-transaction pricing models.
Importantly, notaries maintain full control of their own fees. Secured Signing does not take a percentage of notarization revenue, allowing notaries to retain the full value of their services.
If you process relies primarily on Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA), which typically requires a U.S. Social Security Number. This means foreign nationals, international corporate signers, expatriates, and others without a U.S. SSN may be unable to complete identity verification on the platform a significant limitation for any business serving international clients.
Secured Signing was built with a global signer base in mind. Its identity verification engine supports over 16,000 government-issued ID types across 220+ countries and territories, conducts up to 300 security checks on each submitted document, and can read and extract data from ID documents in 140+ languages covering 99.7% of languages found on government-issued IDs worldwide.
In practice, a signer presenting a passport from Brazil, the UAE, Japan, South Korea, or virtually anywhere else is a fully supported transaction, verified with the same rigour applied to a U.S. driver’s licence.
Most RON platforms treat identity verification as a pre-session gate. The signer completes KBA, submits their ID, and if they pass, they’re in. From that point, active fraud detection typically stops, the assumption being that whoever cleared the entry check is the person sitting in front of the camera.
That assumption is no longer safe to make.
Secured Signing takes a different approach with a multi-layered fraud prevention system built for the entire session, not just the entry point.
Realify by Secured Signing uses advanced AI to analyze a signer’s video and audio both before and during an online signing or RON meeting. It creates a secure, verifiable scan of the signer’s face and voice, instantly classifying the interaction as authentic, suspicious, or fake, proactively catching deepfakes and impersonation attempts before a fraudulent signing can occur.
Secured Signing’s ID Verification goes further, applying AI-powered 3D Liveness Checks and Biometric Face-Matching to automatically validate ID documents and confirm the signer’s identity with confidence.
Together, these layers form a continuous, active defence, not a one-time gate, giving notaries, businesses, and signers the strongest possible protection against fraud.
Independent notaries and in-house notary teams who want to build a sustainable practice without per-transaction pricing eroding their margins. The subscription model means volume works in your favour, more transactions don’t mean more fees per transaction.
Title companies and mortgage lenders who need MISMO certification, a platform that handles international signers natively, and the compliance infrastructure to support high-volume closings.
Law firms that need clean API integration, like Clio, Actionstep, or NetDocuments connectivity, and a notarization tool that fits into existing matter workflows rather than requiring a separate process for each RON session.
Any organization that takes document fraud seriously enough to want more than KBA at the door.
Organizations seeking predictable pricing, support for international signers, advanced fraud detection, and enterprise-grade workflow integrations may find Secured Signing better aligned with their long-term operational requirements.
The right platform ultimately depends on your business needs, transaction volume, and compliance requirements. But for organizations looking beyond basic online notarization and toward a scalable, globally capable RON solution, Secured Signing is a compelling option worth evaluating.
