BlueNotary alternative with BlueNotary vs Proof and OneNotary costs for business teams

Pick BlueNotary Business Pro if a staff notary runs nearly every session and you notarize fewer than about 20 times a month. Pick a monthly plan with notaries included if BlueNotary's network notaries would handle a large share of your sessions, if your sessions carry several signers and stamps, or if you have two or more notaries who still need cover when they are out. In those cases the per-session fees on BlueNotary stack up faster than a flat plan.

BlueNotary vs Proof is a simpler call: for a team with its own notary, BlueNotary Business Pro is much cheaper than Proof Pro+ at 199 USD a month plus 15 USD per in-house meeting. With network notaries, BlueNotary and OneNotary both start at 25 USD, while Proof adds identity and signing fees on top of its 25 USD meeting.

We would recommend BlueNotary over our own plans in these cases.

• You employ a commissioned remote notary who runs almost every session, and you notarize fewer than about 20 times a month.
• Your sessions are large real estate packages with your own notaries, where a 45 USD flat closing fee is hard to beat.
• You notarize a few times a month with one signer and one stamp, so no monthly plan pays for itself.
• Your notaries also take public jobs, and BlueNotary's network gives them paid work between your sessions.

ENotary is the better fit when notarization is steady weekly work, the platform has to supply the notary most of the time, or finance wants one fixed number instead of a bill that moves with every stamp and signer.

• No commission on staff required. Every ENotary plan includes sessions with a commissioned network notary, so the plan works on day one even if nobody on the team holds a remote online notary commission.
• Multi-signer sessions at a flat price. A co-borrower, a spouse or a second company officer does not add a fee, up to 4 signers per session.
• Own notaries plus backup in one account. Business includes 2 own-notary seats and Scale includes 10, and when your notary is out, a network notary takes the session from the same allowance.
• Ten users on Business, unlimited on Scale. Closers, paralegals and HR coordinators can send sessions without buying more seats.
• Audit records your auditors can use. Timestamps, SHA-256 document fingerprints and identity results export as PDF on every plan, and as JSON from Business. See how the notarization audit trail works.

• Title and escrow teams that close in the evening and on weekends, when the staff notary is gone. See notary and title services.
• Law firms and lenders that notarize affidavits, powers of attorney and loan documents with two or more signers every week. See notary services for business.
• HR and operations teams with no notary on staff that want a predictable bill. See company notary.
• Offices with two or more staff notaries that want seats, overflow sessions and users on one invoice. See how bring your own notary seats work.

Count network sessions, own-notary sessions, extra stamps, extra signers and packages for an average month.

Network sessions go against the allowance and staff notaries against the included seats on the online notary cost page.

Upload the documents, invite the signers and let identity checks finish before the notary joins.

What is the best alternative to BlueNotary for a business?

It depends on who supplies the notary. If a staff notary runs most sessions, OneNotary and Notary Hub are close alternatives with own-notary pricing. If you need notaries supplied every week, a plan with network sessions included, such as ENotary Business at 299 USD a month or 149 USD billed yearly, usually costs less than paying per session.

Is BlueNotary cheaper than Proof?

Usually, yes. Both charge 25 USD for a basic network session, but Proof adds 4 USD per signer for identity checks and 4 USD for signing, plus 15 USD per extra seal and 10 USD per extra signer. With your own notary, BlueNotary Business Pro at 47 USD per seat costs far less than Proof Pro+ at 199 USD a month plus 15 USD per meeting.

Is BlueNotary better than OneNotary?

On price per session, BlueNotary is slightly cheaper: extra stamps cost 8 USD against 10 USD and extra signers 5 USD against 10 USD. OneNotary Business Professional, at 65 USD a month or 49 USD billed yearly, includes an API, unlimited team members and remote I-9 tools, which BlueNotary reserves for Enterprise.

How much does BlueNotary cost per month for a business?

Business Pro costs 47 USD per notary seat per month, with 2 sessions per seat included and 10 USD per session after that. Additional stamps are free and additional signers cost 5 USD. Without your own notary there is no monthly fee, but each on-demand session starts at 25 USD.

Is BlueNotary legit?

Yes. BlueNotary is a US remote online notarization platform with identity proofing, knowledge-based authentication, recorded sessions and long-term audit logs, and it states coverage in more than 45 states. For a business, the useful question is not legitimacy but what a normal month costs on its fee schedule compared with a plan.
