## Where TrialValid and Chargeflow overlap

Both care about disputes, from opposite ends. TrialValid acts at the start of a trial: it holds the card, stores the authorization text with time, IP and terms version, and sends a reminder ahead of the charge, the kind of records a seller would want on file if a charge is questioned. Chargeflow acts once a dispute or alert lands: it gathers evidence, submits it and tracks outcomes. A seller could pair them, with TrialValid shaping how trials begin and Chargeflow handling whatever disputes still arrive.

## When to pick which

### Pick Chargeflow when

- You already receive chargebacks and want evidence assembled and submitted for you.
- You want card-network alerts that can refund a charge before it turns into a chargeback.
- You prefer paying per outcome over a flat fee.
- You sell through ecommerce platforms and processors beyond Stripe.

### Pick TrialValid when

- Your goal is how a trial begins, not what happens after a dispute arrives.
- You want a trial to start only once the card hold has gone through.
- You want the agreement text each signup saw stored with its time, IP and terms version.
- You want the trial and the capture to run in your own Stripe account.
