Is Portravo legit?
Yes: Portravo is a working product operated by Soxoa LLC, a U.S. company, and it publishes its prices, terms and privacy policy.
It is also new: it launched in 2026, it is founder-run, and it publishes no customer counts or testimonials, so the fair test is one paid takeoff, which has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Who is behind it
Portravo was founded in 2026 by John Arndt, who runs Soxoa, a software and automation studio. He builds the product and reads the support email himself. There is no sales team.
Support is hello@portravo.com, with a reply within one business day. The founder's public profiles are linked from the about page.
How paying works
Checkout runs on Stripe, so card details go to Stripe, not to Portravo. The charge shows as Soxoa LLC on your statement.
Plans cancel anytime from the billing page. A failed extraction is not charged. The terms are governed by California law and name Soxoa LLC as the operator.
What it does not claim
There is no published accuracy percentage. Every line links to the sheet it was read from, and nothing is priced until a person confirms or edits it.
Material prices are a dated pricing basis (a local store price or the Portravo benchmark, each with an as-of date), not a supplier quote. Customer counts and client names are not published because they could not be verified on the page.

- What happens to the plans I upload?
- Plans are stored privately and processed by service providers to produce your estimate. We do not use your plans to train our own models; AI providers handle data under their terms and configured settings. When project deletion succeeds, the project record is removed from your account, but storage cleanup can fail and related processing files may remain. Email hello@portravo.com for help. Applicable earlier commitments and legal rights remain unchanged.
