Comps

Chargebacks911 · chargebacks911.com · Same workflow (payment dispute resolution for financial institutions and fintechs) and same budget owner (fraud/risk/ops teams); Casap's Series A press release explicitly positions against the legacy chargeback management category that Chargebacks911 leads.[5]

Disputehelp (Quavo) · quavofts.com · Direct product-category overlap: both target credit union and bank dispute operations teams with end-to-end dispute automation software; Casap's credit union customer references (Chartway FCU, MidSouth Community FCU) sit in the same buyer segment Quavo serves.[5][4]

Sardine · sardine.ai · Same buyer (fintechs and financial institutions) and overlapping problem (first-party fraud detection); Casap's proprietary first-party fraud score competes directly with Sardine's fraud-signal layer at the point of dispute or refund decision.[4][5]

Mastercard (Ethoca) · ethoca.com · Same workflow (chargeback and dispute resolution for card issuers) and same budget line; Casap's positioning as a record-setting venture investment in the payment disputes category implicitly benchmarks against incumbent network-layer solutions like Ethoca.[5]
