Glimpse alternative
A Glimpse alternative that starts free — no sales call
Glimpse is a well-regarded managed deduction-recovery service. If you'd rather see what you're owed before you ever talk to anyone — and keep the option to do it yourself — here's how the two approaches differ.

What Glimpse is
Glimpse positions itself as an AI-powered, end-to-end deduction management service covering distributors like KeHE and UNFI as well as retailers. It pairs software with an in-house team and, by its own account, processes a large volume of disputes with a high reported win rate.
The catch for a smaller brand is the front door: Glimpse is sales-led. There's no free tool and no cheap self-serve tier — you start with a conversation, and pricing is scoped to your account.
Why brands consider us instead
You can quantify the problem first, for free. Upload a KeHE or UNFI remittance and get a categorized, recoverable-dollar estimate in your browser — before deciding whether a service is even worth it.
The ladder is optional at every rung. Do it yourself with cheap self-serve software, or hand the disputes to us on contingency — you only pay a share of what we actually recover. No retainer, no minimum, no risk.

Which one fits you
Choose Glimpse if: Brands that want to fully outsource the deduction function to an established managed team and are comfortable with a sales-led onboarding.
Choose OverDeduct if: Emerging and mid-market brands ($2M–$500M) that want to see the numbers first, start free, and escalate to done-for-you only when the volume justifies it.
The honest answer is that it depends on your size and how much time your team has. The fastest way to decide is to run a remittance through the free tool — if there's little recoverable, you may not need either.

Is there a free Glimpse alternative?
Our remittance analyzer is free and needs no signup — upload a KeHE, UNFI or retailer file and see which deductions are disputable and what's realistically recoverable in seconds. Glimpse is a managed service without a free self-serve tool, so the free tool is the clearest point of difference.
Do I have to talk to sales to get started?
No. You can analyze a remittance yourself and, if you want us to file the disputes, move to done-for-you recovery on contingency — you only pay a percentage of what we recover. A human only gets involved when you choose the done-for-you rung.
How is pricing different?
We publish a transparent ladder: a free tool, a cheap self-serve subscription, and done-for-you recovery on contingency (a share of recovered dollars, nothing if we recover nothing). Managed services are typically scoped and priced per account after a sales conversation.
