FAQ

What is the best myCOI alternative for a small GC?

Look for per-sub storage, expiry alerts, a sub upload portal, and exportable reports, without enterprise-only pricing. TradeGuard is built for that profile.

Is TradeGuard a full replacement for enterprise COI platforms?

For mid-size contractors tracking certificates and renewals, yes. If you need complex enterprise GRC workflows, evaluate both honestly against your checklist.

Can I try TradeGuard before switching?

Yes. Start a free trial, import your roster, and compare the workflow to your current tool on the same subs.
