DueFiles vs TrustLayer
TrustLayer puts verification behind a demo and quote. DueFiles gives your team the portal, endorsement rules, review queue, and published catalog needed to run the program.
A PDF in a folder does not prove coverage. DueFiles shows which forms count, keeps the pass under your team's control, and lets you start without a sales cycle.
Why DueFiles wins
- Verify named endorsement forms: CG 20 10, CG 20 37, CG 24 04, CG 20 01, CG 34 01, and WC 00 03 13.
- Treat an Additional Insured or Waiver checkbox without its form as a gap.
- Keep every unreviewed vendor pending until a reviewer confirms the packet.
- Collect certificates from vendors and brokers through a direct upload link.
- Choose a published plan: Free, $39 Starter, $99 Pro, or $249 Business. Extraction is included.
- Send reminders at 60, 30, 15, and 7 days, then stop when the file passes.

Your team owns the pass
DueFiles extracts certificate fields and assigns confidence scores. A broker's ADDL INSD checkbox does not turn a vendor green. Your reviewer confirms the packet, so the decision stays with the operator.
Named forms, not a status label
CG 20 10 covers ongoing operations. CG 20 37 covers completed operations. CG 24 04 covers the GL waiver. WC 00 03 13 covers the workers' compensation waiver. DueFiles puts those forms in the requirement template and shows what failed.
A catalog you can price
Free covers up to 10 vendors. Starter is $39 per month, Pro is $99, and Business is $249. SSO, white-label, and managed review use a custom order form. You can inspect endorsement checks before procurement.
Questions that come up
- Does TrustLayer verify insurance?
- TrustLayer sells COI verification as an enterprise program. DueFiles reviews the same document category with named ISO forms, a pending review queue, and published pricing. Your team confirms the final status.
- Why switch after a TrustLayer demo?
- The work still includes collection, endorsement checks, reminders, and audit records. DueFiles puts that work in a workspace you can open today, with pricing on the site and a clickable sample.
- Does DueFiles support larger rosters?
- Yes. Business covers up to 750 vendors. Multi-entity mapping, native integrations, SSO, and managed review are available through the order form. The published catalog gives established programs a clear starting point.
