YourStanding VS SubDoc

YourStanding's answer

It covers both sides of contractor compliance in one account. Subcontractors upload their certificates of insurance through a secure link, without creating an account, and the contractor's own licenses, bonds, and policies are tracked alongside them. Renewal guides cover state license types in all 50 states.

SubDoc's answer:

SubDoc offers a self-service compliance platform with zero setup friction. Instead of forcing subcontractors to register accounts and create logins (the leading cause of collection delays), SubDoc sends a secure, passwordless magic link where vendors can upload certificates in seconds. It also features built-in AI-powered OCR that automatically scans uploaded documents to extract policy numbers, limits, dates, and endorsement compliance status (Additional Insured, Waiver of Subrogation) instantly.

YourStanding's answer

Most subcontractor compliance tools are sold through a sales process and priced for large general contractors. YourStanding is self-serve. You can sign up, invite your first subs, and see who is clear, expiring, or missing paperwork the same day, and there's a free plan to start.

SubDoc's answer:

Traditional compliance tracking platforms (like TrustLayer, myCOI, or Certificial) are sales-led, expensive, and introduce high friction for vendors. Operations teams choose SubDoc because it is fully self-service, publishes flat and affordable pricing transparently, supports international multi-currency tracking out-of-the-box, and eliminates subcontractor login friction entirely.

YourStanding's answer

Small and mid-size contractors and general contractors who hire subcontractors and need to keep certificates of insurance, licenses, and bonds current without a dedicated compliance person.

SubDoc's answer:

SubDoc's primary audience includes commercial general contractors, subcontractors, property managers, compliance administrators, and mid-market operations teams who need to track insurance certificates (COIs), W-9s, and licensing requirements across 5 to 500+ vendors without enterprise complexity or cost.

YourStanding's answer

Contractors kept describing the same problem: chasing subcontractors by email and phone for current insurance certificates, and carrying the liability when one lapses mid-job. YourStanding was built to replace that chase with a link the sub can answer themselves, plus reminders before anything expires.

SubDoc's answer:

Tracking contractor insurance compliance is notoriously painful. Teams are usually stuck between chaotic manual spreadsheets or bloated, expensive enterprise software. SubDoc was created to fill this gap: providing a simple, modern, self-service tracker that automates the chasing via magic links and uses smart AI extraction to speed up verification, giving operations teams their time back.
