Comparison
Punctilio vs FileInvite
FileInvite moved upmarket to lenders. The entry price went with it.
FileInvite is often the first name people find when they search for document collection, and the product earned that: request lists, reminders, and a client portal that replaced email attachments for thousands of firms. If this page reads like respect, it is.
But the product repositioned. FileInvite now sells to lending institutions, and the published entry point is Standard at $9,900 a year, billed annually, sized for up to about 100 commercial loans a year. Branded portals, teams, integrations, API access, and SSO all wait on the Enterprise tier and its custom quote. For a bank operations team, that can be rational. For a small firm that collects documents from a few dozen clients, it is a different universe.
Punctilio is priced for the firm, not the institution: $29.99 a month flat, with 3 seats. Client Requests publishes a checklist your clients upload against, every file is malware scanned, a reviewer approves it into a data room with share controls and analytics, and e-signing is included for the engagement letter. No sales call, no contract, no implementation project.

When FileInvite is still the right call
We would rather you pick the right tool than pick us. FileInvite makes sense if:
You are a lender processing real volume.
FileInvite rebuilt itself around loan document collection. If your team touches 100 or more commercial loans a year, the workflow depth is designed for exactly that.
You need SharePoint and workflow integrations.
Enterprise connects collection into SharePoint and connected lending workflows. Punctilio does not integrate with SharePoint.
You need SSO and API access.
Both live on FileInvite’s Enterprise tier. Punctilio does not offer SSO or a public API.
You want dedicated account management.
Enterprise includes a dedicated account team and implementation support, which a five-figure contract should.
If none of those describe you, you are a small firm looking at lender pricing: $9,900 a year against $29.99 a month for a wider set of features.
