Compare GoVal's Validation lifecycle platform (VLMS) with AI with Valiqa, the self-serve AI-native validation platform. See how they differ in how you buy, speed, scope, and Part 11 lifecycle.
GoVal (GoValidation) is a full AI-native validation lifecycle platform, and its AI does generate protocol content from URS, FS, and DS documents, so both platforms generate. Valiqa is the self-serve alternative: public $199/mo pricing, a first protocol in minutes, no demo, and its own Part 11 lifecycle, e-signatures, a hash-chained audit trail, and deviation management, already built in. Where GoVal still leads is multi-site execution coordination and established large-enterprise deployments, plus broader multi-site and risk-analytics features.
GoVal (GoValidation) is a validation lifecycle platform (VLMS) whose AI generates comprehensive test protocols from URS, FS, and DS documents, combined with full workflow management, execution tracking, e-signature, and multi-site capabilities. It serves mid-market and enterprise life sciences companies.
Mid-market and enterprise life sciences companies that want AI-assisted protocol generation bundled with integrated lifecycle management, guided e-signature execution, and multi-site coordination in one platform.
Valiqa is a self-serve, AI-native validation platform. It generates audit-ready IQ, OQ, PQ, DQ, PPQ, and other protocols from your equipment specifications, and adds Part 11 e-signatures, a hash-chained audit trail, deviation management with e-signed CAPA closure, protocol versioning, and a conversational AI advisor.
Mid-market manufacturers (10-500 employees) that want audit-ready validation, from generation through e-signed and audited approval, without an enterprise sales cycle or a six-figure implementation.
Self-serve with transparent public pricing from $199/mo and an instant free trial; GoVal is sold through demo-based sales.
Minutes to your first protocol, instead of the weeks typical of a GoVal implementation.
A full Part 11 lifecycle built in: e-signatures (WebAuthn) with configurable approval routing (reviewer, approver, releaser roles and N-of-pool signature policies), a hash-chained audit trail, deviation management with deviation-to-CAPA linkage, and protocol versioning, not a separate module or add-on.
Valiqa Advisor: a conversational AI agent that scopes what each asset needs and answers grounded in your own validation data.
Equipment-spec-first generation (make, model, parameters), rather than starting from URS/FS/DS documents.
Learns your document format, including visual layout (fonts, section styling, table structure), from a single uploaded example and versions learned templates, and covers 20+ regulations across medical devices, pharma, biotech, and food.

Guided electronic execution (run protocols step-by-step in-app) Valiqa runs digital execution step-by-step in-app: per-step result, evidence, and real-time deviation on a failing step; per-step Part 11 e-signatures (performer plus an independent witness, separation of duties); enforced step sequencing, execution locking, and operator assignment; a signed executed close-out; plus a controlled paper-execution path with independent second-person verification (ALCOA+).

Multi-site execution coordination and established large-enterprise deployments. (Valiqa now covers guided step-by-step execution itself: per-step witnessed Part 11 e-signatures, enforced sequencing, execution locking, operator assignment, and a signed close-out.)
GoVal also generates protocol content, so teams that want generation bundled with deeper guided execution get both from one vendor.
Broader suite beyond generation: risk analytics and multi-site management.
Established enterprise and mid-market deployments in life sciences.
