CaseGuard is a full redaction department in one install, and if you redact body-cam footage, recorded interviews or call audio, it does work Omit Redact does not do at all. Its training and account management are a real advantage for agencies rolling redaction out to a team. Omit is the smaller tool: documents, spreadsheets, email and images, with every detector working on a machine that never touches a network, for a one-time price rather than a per-seat annual contract.
If you use CaseGuard for media, keep it for media. Omit Redact can take the document side, writing a separate redacted copy of each file and leaving the original untouched.
Suites, prices and AI credit allowances were read from CaseGuard's own pricing page, platform and processing claims from its own FAQ, and offline behaviour from its own help center, on the date shown. Pricing moves, so treat the figures as of September 2026.

CaseGuard, online vs offline keysOmit's detection runs in a bundled local engine, so an isolated machine gets the same automatic pass as a connected one. You can verify it with the network unplugged.
How Omit is builtChoose Omit Redact when your work is documents rather than media, when the machine is air-gapped and you still want full automatic detection, or when a per-seat annual contract is more than the job needs.
Choose CaseGuard if you redact video or audio, need PST email, want team collaboration and hands-on training, or are equipping an agency that handles evidence and records requests at volume.
Omit runs fully offline, and Omit Redact is a free download. Read the Trust Center and verify the offline promise yourself.
