A Sanction Scanner alternative with published prices

Both are capable platforms. The honest question is not which is "better" overall, but which fits your priorities — here is where each one is the stronger choice.

How ScreenVeritAI and Sanction Scanner compare across the capabilities compliance teams evaluate.

"Not published" means the detail was not stated in the vendor's public materials when this page was checked (4 September 2026) — it does not imply the capability is absent. ScreenVeritAI figures are drawn from our canonical coverage set — the full source register is published on our coverage page (as of June 2026). Competitor details reflect publicly available information; verify current specifics with each vendor.

On 4 September 2026, sanctionscanner.com/pricing returned HTTP 404, no numeric price appeared anywhere in the public pages we read, and the buying path on the site is "Request a Demo". That is a legitimate way to sell software. Plenty of good products are sold that way, and a demo can surface requirements a price list never would. It also costs the buyer something real: you cannot model annual spend, cannot compare like for like against another vendor, and cannot start small without booking a call first. ScreenVeritAI publishes the whole catalogue on its pricing page and charges per check with no platform fee, so the arithmetic is there before anyone speaks to anyone. If pricing transparency is a line on your evaluation sheet, this row is settled by what each vendor published, not by what either says about the other.

Aggregate list counts are the hardest number in this category to compare, because nobody counts the same way. An authority, a programme, a file and a dataset can each be called a "list", so two vendors with identical coverage can publish totals an order of magnitude apart. Sanction Scanner describes screening against "more than 3000 different Sanctions, PEPs Wanted and Watched Lists from over 220 countries", and the register behind that figure and the refresh cadence per source are not published. ScreenVeritAI publishes the register itself instead of the total: 11 sanctions jurisdictions and 40 additional lists, a PEP domain of 750,000+ records from 134 sources, and 16 criminal and wanted-person watchlists screened on every check, each named on the coverage page with the authority behind it. The advice applies to us as much as to anyone else. Ask for the source register in writing, check that the export-control and criminal lists you care about are on it, and confirm they run by default rather than as a separate feed.

Two capabilities on Sanction Scanner's list have no equivalent in ScreenVeritAI, and burying them would be misleading. Transaction monitoring and fraud detection are separate products aimed at payment flows and behavioural risk, and ScreenVeritAI screens names and entities without touching either. Customer risk assessment by profession, income and country, and KYB with ownership discovery, push it further into the onboarding stack again. If your programme needs any of that, weigh the suite accordingly, because a screening tool is not a substitute for it. What sits on the other side of the scale is depth on the narrower job: criminal and wanted lists screened by default, a deterministic mode that sends nothing to an AI model, written reasoning on every candidate match, and a point-in-time evidence PDF. Those are aimed at defending one screening decision, not at covering more of the programme.

The split here is not subtle. Sanction Scanner is the broader platform and the more prolific publisher, it screens transactions as well as names, and it has put its case workflow inside Claude's connector directory, which is genuinely useful if your analysts live in a chat window. What it costs you is opacity: no published price, no published source register, no published data-residency position, so several answers you need arrive in a sales call rather than on the site. ScreenVeritAI is narrower and more explicit — €0.39 a Quick Check with criminal watchlists included, a published source register, EU hosting stated on the page, a reproducible evidence PDF per screening. Take the breadth if your programme spans payments and fraud. Take the published price and the evidence trail if your problem is defending what you checked, and when.

Q.01

How much does Sanction Scanner cost?

Sanction Scanner does not publish a price. Its pricing URL returned HTTP 404 when we checked on 4 September 2026, no numeric figure appeared in the public pages we read, and the site directs buyers to "Request a Demo", so the number comes out of a sales conversation. Treat per-user or per-check figures quoted on third-party directory sites as unverified, because there is no public price anywhere to check them against.

Q.02

Is there a Sanction Scanner alternative with published pricing?

Yes, and more than one. ScreenVeritAI publishes its full catalogue on its pricing page — Quick Check €0.39, Adverse Media Check €0.99, Full Search €5.90 and the Deep Research Report €14.90, per check, with no platform fee and no annual commitment. Several other vendors publish numbers too, and our survey collects every published price we could verify on 4 September 2026 with the source URL beside it, so you can do the comparison without booking anything.

Q.03

Does Sanction Scanner work with Claude?

According to its own announcement — a post published 31 July 2026 and updated 28 August 2026 — Sanction Scanner is listed in Anthropic's connector directory for Claude, and the connector lets analysts review open screening cases, check match counts, set risk levels and mark matches as reviewed from the chat, reading and writing to the analyst's own account. That is the vendor's description; we have not independently verified the listing. ScreenVeritAI does not publish a Claude connector; it exposes REST API v1 for screening, batch and key management.

Q.04

What is the best Sanction Scanner alternative for EU companies?

For an EU-regulated buyer the first question is usually where the data lives, and we found no data-residency or hosting-region statement in Sanction Scanner's public pages on 4 September 2026. That says nothing about where it actually hosts, only that you would have to ask and get the answer on paper. ScreenVeritAI answers it on the page: infrastructure in Finland, data at rest never leaving the EU, a deterministic Quick Check and monitoring that send nothing to any AI model, and AI-assisted levels on EU-hosted models with zero retention. Residency, criminal-watchlist coverage, evidence output and published pricing tend to move together, so score them together.

Q.05

Does Sanction Scanner screen criminal and wanted lists?

Watchlist data sits inside its aggregate "more than 3000 different Sanctions, PEPs Wanted and Watched Lists from over 220 countries", but a criminal or wanted-person domain is not broken out separately and the underlying register is not published, so the honest answer is that we cannot tell from the public pages. Ask for the register in writing and check specifically whether Interpol, national police and wanted-person lists are screened by default. ScreenVeritAI screens official criminal and wanted lists on every check alongside sanctions and PEP, and names each source on its coverage page.

Q.06

Can I try an alternative without a demo call?

Yes. ScreenVeritAI is pay-as-you-go with no platform fee and no contract, so you can sign up, screen a benchmark set of real names — including known-clear near-namesakes and known-true hits — and read the evidence PDF before speaking to anyone. It is also the fairest test of two screening engines: the same names on the same day, judged on the matches, the false positives and the record you can export, rather than on the marketing pages.
