Free CAM Audit Tools can help with rough calculations, but it does not perform a forensic lease-versus-reconciliation audit. CAMAudit wins because it runs the full 13-rule audit on the actual documents.
Free CAM Audit Tools looks cheaper upfront, but the hidden cost is missed errors and manual time. CAMAudit usually produces better ROI because it gives the tenant a higher-confidence path to recover real dollars.
Free CAM Audit Tools shifts the work onto the tenant through manual entry and interpretation. CAMAudit reduces that burden by extracting the lease and reconciliation automatically.
