BlueNotary vs Notarize pricing for teams that notarize every month

BlueNotary wins on price at every volume we model below, and the gap grows with extra signers and stamps. Proof's advantages are not on the price list: a larger brand, team and enterprise plans with an API, and integrations that some lenders and title agencies already use. Both bill per session, so the monthly bill climbs with every notarization. BlueNotary figures come from its pricing page and help center fee schedule as checked on October 5, 2026, and Proof figures from its help article as checked on October 24, 2026. Either vendor can change fees, so confirm before you commit.

BlueNotary also sells a Business Pro plan at 47 USD per seat per month for companies that use their own notary, and a flat package fee for loan closings. Proof's team and enterprise plans are priced by quote. Our BlueNotary pricing article walks through the BlueNotary fee schedule, and Proof pricing covers the Proof side.

Prices below are list prices without volume discounts. A session is one audio-video meeting with a network notary.

The Proof rows add the 25 USD meeting fee, 4 USD identity check per signer, 4 USD e-sign fee, 10 USD per extra signer and 15 USD per extra seal. The BlueNotary rows add 5 USD per extra signer and 8 USD per extra stamp. Proof may bill some of these differently by account, so treat the numbers as a guide.

This table uses two signers and one stamp per session, the most common shape for a lease, a power of attorney or an HR form.

With three stamps per session the gap widens: 12 sessions a month is about 552 USD at BlueNotary and about 924 USD at Proof, and 40 sessions is about 1,840 USD against about 3,080 USD. A session on ENotary covers up to 4 signers and 10 documents, so extra signers and stamps do not change the bill. At 4 sessions a month the three are close, and a pay-per-use vendor can be the right call for a team that notarizes only occasionally.

BlueNotary Business Pro at 47 USD per seat per month includes 2 general sessions per seat and then charges 10 USD per session. Three notaries each running 20 sessions come to 141 USD in seats plus 540 USD in session fees, 681 USD at list price. Proof supports your own notaries only on team plans priced by quote. ENotary Business includes 2 own-notary seats and Scale includes 10, and sessions your notaries run do not use the network allowance. See bring your own notary.

• **Who supplies the notary.** Both have networks, but hours and state coverage differ, so ask for evening and weekend availability in your states.
• **Evidence.** Ask whether the recording, identity results and journal entry are exported with the sealed document, and for how long they are kept.
• **API and integrations.** If your system will create sessions, neither vendor publishes API pricing. Our notary API pricing article shows what to put in a request.
• **Acceptance.** Some lenders and title underwriters name approved platforms. Ask the receiving party before you switch.
• **Minimum term.** Per-session billing has no minimum, a plan does. A plan only pays off if you use the sessions.
• **Drafting and review.** If your firm also drafts the paperwork, an AI legal assistant for law firms can take the first draft off the queue so the notary session is the last step.
