TrustLayer vs. Jones: Choosing Clarity Over Chaos
There’s a line carved above the entrance to Wimbledon’s Centre Court—one that says more about leadership than most product roadmaps ever could:
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”
It’s a test—not of speed, but of stability.
Not of how loud you are, but of how you think when pressure hits.
At TrustLayer, the same rule applies to compliance. While others rush to compare, to market, to message louder, we’ve chosen a different path: one built on clarity, control, and staying focused on what works.
This isn’t a teardown. It’s a side-by-side comparison of two different approaches to COI automation—TrustLayer vs. Jones—and why the difference isn’t just in features. It’s in philosophy.
Two Philosophies, One Problem
Both TrustLayer and Jones aim to solve the same thing: the growing burden of vendor compliance.
But they go about it very differently.
Jones offers a service-based review model. TrustLayer delivers a complete platform, designed to help you automate, validate, and scale your compliance operations without losing visibility or control.
Because in moments that matter, you need more than speed. You need certainty.
Feature Comparison: TrustLayer vs. Jones
TrustLayer combines AI-powered document processing, embedded insurance validation, and real-time risk intelligence—all backed by dedicated human support. Jones, while fast, lacks those deeper capabilities.
This is about more than what gets uploaded.
It’s about what gets understood, tracked, and acted on—before something goes wrong.
While Others Market, We’re Shipping
If you're wondering where our focus has been lately, it's simple: building.

Innovation doesn’t need a spotlight.
When you're focused on building the right things for the right people, it shows.
Designed for Pressure, Not Panic
Most teams don’t fall behind because they don’t care.
They fall behind because the tools they rely on break under real-world pressure.
- Expired COIs slip past without alerts.
- Compliance lives in inboxes and spreadsheets.
- Support tickets take days to resolve.
- Risk is often treated as a checklist, rather than a strategic approach.
Jones may help you get a document through the door.
TrustLayer helps you verify that it’s the correct document, mapped to the proper rules, with the right notifications when it changes.
What Real Users Say
TrustLayer is easy because it was built for real teams.
Supportive because you can talk to real people.
Flexible because compliance shouldn’t come at the cost of control.
