Scour Now vs. Manual Compliance
Checks: Time, Cost, and Risk

When it comes to TCPA and Do Not Call (DNC) compliance, businesses often face a tough choice: build manual processes in-house or adopt a compliance automation solution like Scour Now. While both approaches aim to reduce risk, their effectiveness, efficiency, and cost vary dramatically.

⏱️ Time: Manual Checks Are a Bottleneck

Manual DNC scrubbing and consent verification are time-consuming and error-prone. Teams often have to:

Cross-reference multiple state and federal DNC lists
Interpret varying consent language
Track opt-outs and litigators manually
Check TCPA rulings regularly

This slows down sales cycles and introduces risk. Scour Now handles all of this in real-time, automatically scanning, flagging, and verifying leads before they reach your CRM or dialer.

💸 Cost: What’s the True Price of Manual Compliance?

Manual compliance might seem cheaper at first, but consider:

Staff time
List access and subscriptions
Legal reviews
Potential fines and lawsuits

Scour Now offers predictable, scalable pricing that replaces those hidden costs — and potential legal disasters.

⚠️ Risk: Human Error vs. Machine Accuracy

Manual processes are prone to mistakes — missed litigators, outdated consent, and more.

Scour Now:

Monitors state and federal DNC lists
Detects known TCPA litigators
Validates consent in real-time
Integrates directly with your CRM or lead system

Final Thoughts

Manual compliance is like patching a leaky boat — you might stay afloat, but you’re one storm away from sinking. Scour Now replaces risk with reliability, and guesswork with automation.

If you’re serious about protecting your business, your leads, and your reputation, it’s time to move beyond manual.
