GreenlightSubs vs TrustLayer
A fair, side-by-side look at both tools for tracking subcontractor and vendor certificates of insurance. Everything we say about TrustLayer comes from their own website, with a link to the page.
Who each one is for
- TrustLayer says it offers value for "businesses of all sizes". source
- It tracks certificates of insurance, W9s, and business and professional licenses. source
- GreenlightSubs is for small GCs and property managers who want a published price, no demo, and subs chased automatically before a COI or license expires, or when a W-9 is missing.

Where TrustLayer is stronger
- A much larger free tier: Starter is free up to 50 vendors. GreenlightSubs is free for 5. source
- AI reads each COI, checks it against your standards and flags coverage gaps. GreenlightSubs leaves the reading to you. source
- The free Starter plan includes AI document collection and classification, plus expiration and renewal management, messaging and basic reporting. source
- Pro adds W9 document extraction and integrations with Procore, CMiC and Vista Viewpoint. source
Where GreenlightSubs is simpler or cheaper
- A published, flat price once you outgrow free: $19/mo for up to 50 vendors, or $49/mo for unlimited. TrustLayer shows no dollar prices for its paid plans. source
- No demo or sales call: sign up and add your first sub in about 2 minutes.
- No per-vendor fees inside a plan; month to month, cancel anytime.
If you want certificates read for you, TrustLayer does more of that work. If you want a small, flat monthly price and automatic renewal reminders you can set up yourself today, GreenlightSubs is built for that.
