Both tools serve surplus funds recovery professionals — but RecoverFlow is built end-to-end for the full recovery workflow, with AI scoring, auto-generated state claim documents, and built-in compliance tracking.
Surplus Systems has been around the excess proceeds recovery space for a while. RecoverFlow was built from scratch to eliminate the manual work that older tools still require: manual document prep, spreadsheet-based deadline tracking, and no AI scoring. Here's how they compare feature by feature.

RecoverFlow scores every case on import — surplus amount, county, deadline proximity, contact status — and surfaces your highest-probability leads automatically. Surplus Systems leaves lead prioritization to you.
RecoverFlow generates populated, state-compliant claim PDFs for FL, GA, TX, and CA in one click. No template editing, no manual data entry. Surplus Systems uses static templates you fill in yourself.
RecoverFlow emails you at 7, 3, and 1 day before filing deadlines — automatically, per-case. Missing a statute deadline is a permanent loss. This is a compliance feature, not a nice-to-have.
Surplus Systems works. For teams that have been using it for years, it covers the basics: case tracking, commissions, some document templates. If it's working for you, you don't need to change anything.
RecoverFlow is the better choice if:
You're new to the space and want to start with a modern system. You're spending significant time on manual document prep. You've missed a filing deadline and want automated protection against that. You want AI lead scoring to prioritize your pipeline without thinking about it. Or you want transparent pricing without a sales demo.
