Sound familiar?

Running a bail agency shouldn't mean running yourself ragged.

It's Friday afternoon. You're chasing check-in texts that haven't been answered, calling defendants about payments that are overdue, and hunting an indemnitor signature you sent for last Tuesday.

Your phone is the agency. Your spreadsheet is the system of record. Your week is a series of reminders you sent yourself.

How it works

Captira does the busywork, you run the agency.

Four jobs that used to take hours, now running on their own.

  1. Check-ins on autopilot

    Scheduled SMS reminders go out. Defendants reply by text. GPS captures location automatically. You stop making phone calls.

  2. Payment reminders, sent for you

    Automated SMS payment reminders fire on schedule. Defendants get a link to pay online. You stop chasing the money.

  3. Signatures without the back-and-forth

    Send indemnitor agreements, contracts, anything. Free digital signing. Signed PDFs land on the case file.

  4. Court dates that don't slip

    Every court date in the case file. Auto-reminders to the defendant and their contacts. Missed dates surface before they become forfeitures.

What lands on your screen all day

Check-ins, payments, signatures, court reminders.

Captira fires the messages and surfaces the results. You see what's working, what's not, and what needs you. Nothing slips through a group text.

A morning on Captira

What 9 to 10 AM looks like when Captira's running.

Same five active cases. Same two payments due. Same signature pending. Different morning.

9:02 AM

First check-in lands

J. Smith texts in. GPS confirms location matches the address on file. You didn't call anyone.

9:11 AM

Second check-in lands

M. Doe checks in. On-pattern. Captira logs the location to the case history. Still no calls.

9:14 AM

Payment reminders go out

Two SMS reminders fire automatically. Defendants get a pay-online link. You didn't write a single text.

9:17 AM

Indemnitor signs from phone

Signed PDF lands on the case file. No DocuSign, no follow-up email, no chasing.

9:30 AM

Coffee is still warm

You haven't made a call. You haven't opened a spreadsheet. The morning ran without you.

Why bail agents choose Captira

Why 600+ agencies stopped doing it the hard way.

Stop chasing texts

Automated reminders go out on schedule. Defendants reply by text. You see who's on track and who isn't, at a glance.

Stop calling for payments

Payment reminders fire automatically. Defendants pay through a link or call YOU back. The follow-up disappears.

Stop juggling four tools

Spreadsheets, group texts, DocuSign, a separate skip tracer. Captira replaces all of it. One platform, one login, one bill.

Run an agency, not a fire drill

Captira's job is to make sure nothing slips. Yours is to focus on the bonds you're posting next.

Common questions

What agents ask us first.

What's the total monthly cost? Are there hidden add-ons?
$99/mo covers the core platform after your $1 first month. Some optional add-ons (high-volume SMS, voice, premium integrations) are priced separately. Pricing page has the full breakdown.
How long does it take to migrate from my current system?
Most agencies are running their first case file the same day. Larger migrations from spreadsheets or another platform take 1-3 days. Talk to us about what's possible for your setup.
Is digital signing really free?
Yes. No PandaDoc, DocuSign, or HelloSign required. Send any document, get it back signed on the case file. No per-signature fees.
How much training is involved?
Captira is built so owners can self-onboard. Most operators are working their first case file within an hour of signing up. Optional onboarding call available.
What hours is support available?
Email and in-app chat support, Monday through Friday until 5 PM ET.
What happens after the $1 first month ends?
Your account rolls automatically to the $99/mo plan. Cancel anytime in-app, no calls required, no cancellation fee. Your data exports cleanly if you leave.
Can multiple staff use one account?
Yes. Multiple users with configurable permissions. Multi-office setups are supported.
What if my defendant doesn't have a smartphone?
Check-in reminders, payment reminders, and court reminders go by SMS to any phone. GPS check-ins and GeoFencing need a GPS-capable phone, but messaging works on basic phones too.
