Key differences
5x faster processing
ClearStaq processes documents in under 5 seconds. Ocrolus uses queue-based processing that can take 10-30 seconds per document — or longer during peak hours. When you're underwriting deals, every second counts.
Transparent pricing
ClearStaq starts at $149/month with published pricing. Ocrolus requires a sales call and custom quote. You shouldn't need to negotiate just to find out what a product costs.
Deeper fraud detection
ClearStaq runs 27 distinct fraud signals across 5 categories with a two-layer detection system. Ocrolus provides basic document verification but lacks the depth of AI visual inspection combined with structural analysis.

What teams are saying
Real results from lending teams who made the switch.
“ClearStaq cut our underwriting prep time from 45 minutes to under 2. The fraud detection alone paid for itself in the first week.”

“We switched from Ocrolus and haven't looked back. It's easy to use, the results are accurate, and we can actually see what we're paying.”

Switched from Ocrolus
“Processing 200+ statements a day used to require a team of 4. Now it's automated. That's not an exaggeration.”

Why teams switch from Ocrolus to ClearStaq
We respect Ocrolus — they helped define the category. But the market has evolved, and so have expectations.
No more queue-based delays
Ocrolus processes documents through a queue, which means wait times during peak periods. ClearStaq processes every document in real-time — under 5 seconds, regardless of volume.
No more opaque pricing
With Ocrolus, you need a sales call to learn what you'll pay. ClearStaq publishes pricing on the website: $149/mo for Starter, $499/mo for Professional, custom for Enterprise. Simple.
No IT project required
ClearStaq is simple to set up — no technical team needed. Create your account and start processing in minutes. No onboarding calls required.
More comprehensive fraud detection
While Ocrolus flags some document issues, ClearStaq runs a full 27-signal analysis across metadata, fonts, transaction patterns, visual layout, and cross-document intelligence — with two detection layers.
