Choose Content Snare if

- You want text-message reminders; Content Snare includes an SMS allowance and Collecta is email only.

Choose Collecta if
- You chase the same documents every month or quarter and want each client's period to open on its own with the request ready to review.

- You want plans priced by clients, not by requests open at the same time.
- You want every request drafted for you and approved by you before it goes.
