The real question isn't cost — it's capability

Legal retainer: deep but slow and unstructured

Your lawyers produce brilliant memos that live in email threads. No systematic tracking, no alerts when the landscape changes, no audit trail connecting advice to action. And at $500/hr, you're paying senior partner rates for junior associate research.

OmniRule handles the research layer. Your lawyers handle the novel questions. You save $100K+/yr on the routine work.

Spreadsheets: flexible but fragile

Every compliance team starts here. But spreadsheets don't detect conflicts, don't monitor sources, don't score risk, and go stale the day they're created. When a regulator asks "how do you track this?" — a spreadsheet isn't the answer they want.

OmniRule replaces the spreadsheet with a structured, auditable, source-cited system that satisfies regulatory examination.

Generic GRC: built for SOC2, not MiCA

Platforms like VComply or MetricStream are designed for security frameworks (SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA). They have no crypto-specific regulatory content, no cross-jurisdiction conflict detection, and require 6-12 months to configure for your use case.

OmniRule ships with 48+ crypto regulatory frameworks, 200+ obligations, and 36 pre-analyzed jurisdiction conflict pairs on day one. No configuration needed.
