Why this page looks like this. It replaces production's /articles/codekeeper-vs-escrow-tech on the template shared by all nineteen comparison pages, so a buyer comparing providers sees the same rows on every page.

Legal review before publication. This is a comparative page. Legal must review every statement about EscrowTech and every comparison before it goes live.
EscrowTech facts come from EscrowTech's own website only, checked on 7 Oct 2026 with a fetch tool (a model-mediated copy, so click-check each source). Production's article was not used as evidence. Each fact, its URL and the date checked are in import2/comparisons/escrowtech.facts.md.
The headline and sub are neutral. They name the question that matters, will the software come back and can you prove it, instead of a verdict. No fear lines, no "they fail".
The summary card repeats four rows of the table below, with the same references.
Name styling: the provider writes EscrowTech as one word; production used "Escrow Tech". The slug keeps production's URL for its search history.
Production said EscrowTech keeps "a standby production environment" at its data centre. EscrowTech's Cloud Continuity page now says you redeploy and run the application, so the page uses that.
Cut from production: "Codekeeper is the stronger fit", "a filing cabinet", "certificates auditors accept", "verification runs continuously" and the $249/$139 Codekeeper figures.
16 Oct: Continuity Pro added; base Continuity no longer includes Agentic Verification, so the hero row says "Included in the Pro levels".

Comparison

Codekeeper vs EscrowTech. Compare what you can prove.

Codekeeper and EscrowTech both hold software in escrow. The question that matters comes next: will your software come back, and can you prove it before you need it?

The short answer first, and a fair one. Comparison visitors want the verdict before the detail, so three cards give it: where EscrowTech may suit a buyer better, where Codekeeper fits, and the one question to put to any provider. The first card uses only facts from EscrowTech's own site, each referenced; the brief asks us to say where a competitor may suit a buyer better. The other two rest on MESSAGING §3, §4 and §6. Legal should review all three as comparative claims.

The short answer

It depends on what you need back.

Both hold software in escrow. Here's where each one fits, and the question worth asking any provider.

When EscrowTech may suit you

You want a US provider with a long record and published annual fees. EscrowTech was founded in 1992 and keeps deposits in two US vaults⁷. It holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001⁶, locks fees for three years and refunds the first year in full, for any reason².

When Codekeeper suits you

You want proof the deposit builds before you need it, the option of a recovery we run for you, or a hosted service kept paid and switched on for an agreed period while we recover. Prices are published per application.

The question to ask any provider

“Show me that this deposit rebuilds without the vendor, and give me evidence I can file.” Ask it of every provider on your shortlist, us included.

Step 3, the model, set against one named provider. The rows are the same on all nineteen comparison pages. Every Codekeeper cell rests on MESSAGING §6: the protections and their jobs, Agentic Verification in hours, the Exit Exercise, the 6 Oct list price and setup fee, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 only. Every EscrowTech cell comes from EscrowTech's own website, checked on 7 Oct 2026 and referenced to the Sources band.

Legal review before publication: every row is a comparative claim.
"Not stated on their website" marks what we couldn't find. It never says they lack it, and the note under the table says so.
Flagged ⚑: "50+ integrations", "synced daily" and "in over 150 countries" are production claims still open in to-confirm.md. "3,500+ teams" is production's figure too (MESSAGING §6, used unflagged on the home page); confirm it with the others.
Fact-check, 7 Oct: the Codekeeper column, and the Codekeeper cells in the hero summary, are now word for word the same on all nineteen comparison pages: Resilience recovery shown as best effort, Continuity as "paid and switched on for an agreed period", four rebuilds a year, a Tested Exit Report, and setup of $499 per arrangement ($999 for Continuity). Change them on every page or none.
Dropped from production's table: base storage, unlimited repositories, 24/7/365 release processing, Assured Recovery, Validated, Verified and Certified, storage upgrades and multi-escrow options. They rest on the old line-up or on claims we can't confirm.
EscrowTech's published fees and graded verification are strengths, and the page shows them as they are. The difference we draw is in our own column, not a criticism of theirs.
Integrations: production names GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure, AWS and Google Cloud for EscrowTech. Its current pages name none, so the cell describes the portal and streaming deposits instead.
16 Oct: Continuity Pro added on every comparison page; base Continuity no longer includes Agentic Verification, so the verification cells name Continuity Pro.

Codekeeper and EscrowTech, row by row.

What each provider offers, from EscrowTech's own website and Codekeeper's published line-up. Where their site doesn't say, we say so.

Codekeeper

EscrowTech

What's protected

Software, SaaS and AI applications. Each application gets its own protection and level.

Software, source code, SaaS and technology escrow, including AI and ML, embedded systems and data, plus IP services¹. SaaS deposits can include database and runtime state⁸.

Who runs the recovery

Escrow: the deposit is released to you, and you run the recovery. Resilience: the deposit comes to us and we run the recovery, on a best-effort basis.

For SaaS, you redeploy: the application is live again, run by you³.

Keeping a hosted service switched on

Continuity: we keep the live environment paid and switched on for an agreed period while we recover.

Cloud Continuity holds what it takes to redeploy and run the application if the provider goes dark³.

Proof the deposit builds

Agentic Verification in Escrow Pro, Resilience Pro and Continuity Pro: AI agents rebuild the deposit in the Codekeeper AI Verification Lab, in hours, with four rebuilds a year included. Each successful rebuild issues a Recoverability Certificate.

Verification chosen per deposit: a file listing from $295, then deposit analysis, build verification and binary comparison, quoted per project^2,4.

Human-run exit test

Exit Exercise, an add-on to any plan: our specialists rebuild by hand in a clean room and test the business functions you nominate. You get a Tested Exit Report.

Test-plan verification: the built software runs and passes a defined test plan⁴.

Deposits

50+ integrations, with deposits synced daily.

Upload, transfer or sync through the RealTime Escrow portal. Streaming deposits capture new releases on the cadence you set^5,9.

Published prices

Yes. Escrow for software applications from $199 per application per month. Setup $499 per arrangement, or $999 for Continuity.

From $1,595 a year plus a one-time $995 setup, billed annually. Fees locked for three years².

Certifications

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, audited by BSI.

SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001⁶.

Where they operate

3,500+ teams, in over 150 countries. Founded 2014.

Lehi, Utah, since 1992. Two US-based vaults, one inside a granite mountain⁷.

Codekeeper prices are list prices per application per month. Rebuilds run on supported technology stacks. "Not stated on their website" means we couldn't find it on EscrowTech's site on 7 Oct 2026, not that they don't offer it. Numbers refer to the sources at the foot of the page.

Steps 2 and 4: the shift, then the proof ladder. This is the one place the page argues for Codekeeper, and it argues on evidence, not on EscrowTech: proof beats promises. The ladder is the agreed MESSAGING §4 wording, kept brief. The Recoverability Certificate documents the rebuild; it doesn't grant release rights.

Switching strip: production's /switch-to-codekeeper offers a buyout agreement drafted within 24 hours and no payment until the old contract ends. Those terms aren't confirmed, so the strip states none and says "Ask us how switching works". Sales must confirm the offer before any term appears here.
16 Oct: Continuity Pro added; base Continuity no longer includes Agentic Verification. The Recoverability Certificate rung names Continuity Pro.

What's different

Proof beats promises.

Having the code is the start. Having it back is the goal. Every Codekeeper protection comes with evidence you can file, and the higher you go, the more it proves.

Every protection

Software Resilience Certificate

The deposit is held, and an automated check confirms what's in it, with a vault report.

Proves: it's there.

The five questions buyers ask when they compare. Switching, agreements, prices, verification and jurisdiction, in that order. Codekeeper answers use only MESSAGING §6 facts, and the price answer carries the agreed price logic sentence. Each EscrowTech sentence carries its source.

Switching states no offer terms: the production offer is unconfirmed (see the switching strip).
Jurisdiction makes no claim about a choice of governing law or hosting region for Codekeeper. Both are open in to-confirm.md; confirm before saying more.

16 Oct: Continuity Pro added; base Continuity no longer includes Agentic Verification. The verification answer names Continuity Pro, and the price answer adds Continuity Pro (from $1,699, setup $999).

Questions

Comparing Codekeeper and EscrowTech?

Can we switch from EscrowTech to Codekeeper?

Yes. Tell us about the agreement you have today, who's party to it and when it ends. We'll plan the move with you and your counterparties. Ask us how switching works

How do the agreements differ?

With Codekeeper Escrow, an Escrow Agreement covers the depositor and the beneficiary, and the deposit is released to the beneficiary when a release condition is met. With Resilience, a Resilience Arrangement means the deposit comes to Codekeeper and we run the recovery, best effort, with recovery work billed to the claimants who need it. One claimant is included; more are an add-on. EscrowTech offers single-beneficiary, multi-beneficiary and multi-vendor agreements¹, drafted by its in-house counsel⁷.

How do the prices compare?

Codekeeper publishes list prices per application per month. For software applications: Escrow from $199, Escrow Pro from $449, Resilience from $399, Resilience Pro from $649, Continuity from $1,449 and Continuity Pro from $1,699. Setup is $499 per arrangement, or $999 for Continuity and Continuity Pro. Escrow means the deposit is released to you and you run the recovery. Resilience costs more because we do the recovery. Continuity costs more again because we also keep the live environment switched on. EscrowTech publishes its fees: single-beneficiary software escrow from $1,595 a year plus a one-time $995 setup, billed annually and locked for three years².

How does verification differ?

Agentic Verification is included in Escrow Pro, Resilience Pro and Continuity Pro, with four rebuilds a year that you start. AI agents rebuild the deposit in the Codekeeper AI Verification Lab, with no help from the vendor, in hours, on supported technology stacks. They run on Codekeeper's own models, so your code stays in our environment. A successful run issues a Recoverability Certificate: it documents the rebuild, and release rights come from the agreement. EscrowTech's verification is chosen per deposit, from a file listing at $295 to build, binary and test-plan verification quoted per project^2,4.

Does it matter where the provider is based?

EscrowTech is based in Lehi, Utah, and keeps deposits in two US-based vaults⁷. If your organisation needs a particular governing law or data location, tell us on a demo and we'll confirm what we can offer before you sign.

Every statement about EscrowTech, traceable. A comparison page needs an audit trail: each reference number above links here, and each source is EscrowTech's own page as fetched on 7 Oct 2026. The fetch tool returns a model-mediated copy, so legal should click-check each link before publication. The visible line invites corrections, which keeps the page fair and easier to defend. The same facts, with quotes, are in import2/comparisons/escrowtech.facts.md.
