The Key Difference
Verdact is for disputes where the proof lives in your own records. It reads your Stripe dispute and the files and linked Slack threads you choose, shows the missing proof point while you can still add it, and you file in Stripe yourself during the beta. If Stripe shows Smart Disputes as available, that is a fair option alongside it.

Why SaaS Founders Choose Verdact
Unlike generic chargeback tools, Verdact enforces a strict approval lock, so nothing is filed to Stripe without your explicit review. It is free during the beta. We will share terms before you owe anything.
Furthermore, automated "autopilot" tools often submit weak, template-based evidence to the card networks. For high-context service and software disputes, a single copy-paste response is not enough. Verdact constructs a structured Chain of Intent evidence record matching your exact deliverables, access logs, and communications.
