TrewUp alternative
A TrewUp alternative focused on getting your money back
TrewUp ties deductions to trade spend and depletion data, with automated pulls from distributors like UNFI and KeHE. If your priority right now is simply recovering invalid deductions — not adopting a broader platform — a narrower, recovery-first option may fit better.

What TrewUp is
TrewUp bundles deduction visibility with trade-spend and depletion analytics, and can pull data directly from some distributor portals. For a brand that wants one system across trade and deductions, that breadth is the appeal.
That breadth is also the trade-off: the deduction-recovery wedge is one part of a larger platform, and there's no free front door or contingency done-for-you rung.
Why brands consider us instead
Recovery-first, not platform-first. The whole flow is aimed at one outcome — see what's disputable, then get it back — without asking you to adopt a trade-spend system you may not need yet.
A free tool and a contingency option bracket the offer: quantify for free, then either DIY cheaply or let us file on contingency.

Which one fits you
Choose TrewUp if: Brands that want deductions, trade spend, and depletion in a single analytics platform and are ready to onboard one.
Choose OverDeduct if: Brands whose immediate pain is invalid deductions and who want to recover that cash now, with the option of a human doing the filing.
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 this a full trade-spend platform like TrewUp?
No — and deliberately so. We focus on recovering invalid deductions: analyze a remittance for free, then dispute the flagged lines yourself or hand them to us on contingency. If you need trade-spend and depletion analytics in one system, a broader platform may suit you better.
