The cost problem

The bill you can't pass on

Valid8 does real forensic work. The problem is what it costs and how it charges, which puts it out of reach for every case that is not enormous.

  • Metered to the transaction. Valid8 charges per bank and card transaction, per check image, and per brokerage line. A three-year case across five accounts is tens of thousands of line items, and every one is on the meter.
  • You guess a year of volume up front. Before the work starts, Valid8 makes you commit an annual transaction bucket. Guess low and you pay overage. Guess high and you eat the difference. Either way you are pricing a case you have not seen yet.
  • So it only pencils on the biggest matters. At tens of thousands of dollars a case, the cost only makes sense when the matter is huge. Every mid-size fraud, white-collar, or divorce file gets left doing the math by hand.

CounselPro runs the same matter for $499, or folds it into an annual plan that starts at $100 a month. See how the pricing works.

Speed & the analysis

The analysis, in plain English and in minutes

The Valid8 workflow is an enterprise one: configure the account buckets, upload, then wait days while a person verifies the numbers. And when it comes back, tracing the money is still a separate job.

CounselPro does the forensic analysis for you. Drag in the PDFs, ask Daystrom™ AI a question in plain English, and it traces the money, flags the patterns, and shows you the page every finding came from.

Ask it in plain English

Valid8 stops at extraction and basic analysis. It has no chat agent. With CounselPro you ask Daystrom AI to trace the $2.4M home sale, and get the answer, the chart, and the source page back.

Answers in under 20 minutes

Valid8's own marketing calls 'under 24 hours' a win, because a person still checks the work. CounselPro returns the finished analysis in minutes.

minutes, not days

Upload, no buckets to build

Valid8 makes you pre-define every account before you start. CounselPro finds the accounts for you, so you can run a matter before you know the full picture.

Accuracy without the wait

Valid8 reaches accuracy by putting people in the loop, which is exactly what makes it slow and costly. CounselPro's self-healing reconciliation gets there automatically, at machine speed.
