Frequently asked

How is this so much cheaper than World-Check?
Legacy vendors built large sales organizations before the API economy existed. They charge $50,000–200,000/year because that's what it costs to maintain those teams — not because the data or the infrastructure costs that much. We poll the same primary sources (OFAC, EU, UN, and 40+ others) that every other vendor uses. We just don't have a team of relationship managers billing you for quarterly check-ins. Same sources. 10× less overhead. That's the math.
Is this real compliance infrastructure, or will my regulator have a problem with it?
The data is real — we pull directly from the same primary government and intergovernmental sources that LSEG, LexisNexis, and ComplyAdvantage use. Every call is logged with a full audit trail. We're designed for FinCEN, FATF, and EBA AML compliance requirements. The difference is delivery model and price, not data quality.
How often are sanctions lists updated?
Every 30 minutes. OFAC emergency additions are propagated within 15 minutes. Legacy vendors often update daily — meaning you could miss an emergency addition for up to 24 hours. We don't think that's acceptable for compliance infrastructure.
What happens if I exceed my monthly screening limit?
Overages are billed at $0.012/screening on Launch, $0.005 on Scale, and $0.002 on Platform. We never cut you off mid-month without warning — you'll get usage alerts at 80% and 100% of your limit.
Do you offer annual billing?
Yes — pay annually and get two months free (17% off). Launch annual: $790/year. Scale annual: $3,990/year. Platform annual: $9,990/year.
Can I self-serve, or do I need to talk to sales?
Sandbox through Platform are fully self-serve — sign up, enter a card, and you're live in minutes. Enterprise requires a conversation because custom SLAs, on-prem deployment, and DPA terms need a human. But we'll never put a sales call between you and a Sandbox or Launch account.
