§01Who each product fits best
ASSESSMENTBoth 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.
Choose ScreenVeritAI if…
As a Dilisense alternative, ScreenVeritAI is an EU-hosted AML platform built around three screening levels and evidence-grade output. It fits teams that need data residency, criminal-watchlist coverage and explainable matches more than the lowest possible per-call rate.
- You need EU data residency (Finland) with a deterministic mode that sends no data to AI models
- You want criminal-watchlist screening by default, not just sanctions and PEP
- You want explainable AI Review that flags likely false positives with reasoning you can read
- You need point-in-time evidence PDFs to hand to an auditor
Choose Dilisense if…
Dilisense is a capable Swiss screening provider with a free instant check on its homepage and some of the lowest published per-call pricing in the market. If your need is straightforward, high-volume sanctions and PEP name lookups and price-per-call is your first filter, it is a strong, low-friction option.
- You want the cheapest published per-call entry point
- You want a free instant check before committing
- Your screening is high-volume sanctions and PEP name lookups

"Not published" means the detail was not stated in the vendor's public materials at the time of writing (July 2026) — it does not imply the capability is absent. ScreenVeritAI figures are drawn from our canonical coverage set (75 official sources as of June 2026). Competitor details reflect publicly available information; verify current specifics with each vendor.
§03EU data residency and a deterministic no-AI mode
EU BY CONSTRUCTIONDilisense is legally Swiss and mentions GDPR, but does not publish an EU data-residency guarantee. ScreenVeritAI hosts its infrastructure in the EU (Finland), and data at rest never leaves the EU. The difference goes beyond a badge: the deterministic Quick Check and continuous monitoring send no data to any AI model at all, so you can screen and monitor large volumes without any personal data reaching a model. AI-assisted levels, when you choose them, run on EU-hosted models with zero retention. For EU-regulated teams that have to answer a data-protection question before a feature question, "where does the data live, and does anything reach an AI model?" is a decision the platform should answer explicitly — not leave implied in a footer.
§04Criminal watchlists screened by default
BEYOND SANCTIONS & PEPMost screening tools, Dilisense included, focus on sanctions and PEP data. ScreenVeritAI treats criminal and wanted lists as a first-class domain: every check runs against 16 official criminal watchlists alongside sanctions and PEP, with no separate product or add-on to buy. Criminal exposure is often where real reputational and legal risk sits — a counterparty may be clear of every sanctions regime yet appear on a wanted or law-enforcement list. Screening that domain by default means you are not silently missing it because it lived behind a checkbox you did not enable. If you are comparing on coverage, look past the headline sanctions-jurisdiction count and ask whether criminal watchlists are included at all.
§05Point-in-time evidence your auditor can trust
EVIDENCE-GRADE OUTPUTA screening result is only as useful as the record you can show later. ScreenVeritAI stores every screening as a point-in-time snapshot and exports it as a PDF that reproduces the result exactly as it stood on the screening date — it is never recalculated when the underlying lists change. That matters when an auditor asks what you knew, and when, about a counterparty two years ago. Dilisense does not publish an equivalent point-in-time evidence feature. If your real audience is your regulator or auditor rather than a one-off yes/no answer, evidence you can reproduce is worth more than a marginally lower per-call rate.
§06Frequently asked questions
Q&A- Is Dilisense cheaper than ScreenVeritAI?
- On headline per-call price, Dilisense is typically lower — its published per-call pricing runs roughly €0.01–0.10 per call, and it offers a free instant check. ScreenVeritAI prices per check by screening level (Quick €0.79, AI-Enhanced €1.39, AI Review €1.79) with no platform fee. The right comparison is what each check includes: ScreenVeritAI bundles sanctions, PEP and 16 criminal watchlists with EU data residency and a point-in-time evidence PDF, so a like-for-like check is doing more work.
- Can I migrate from Dilisense to ScreenVeritAI?
- Yes. ScreenVeritAI is pay-as-you-go with no platform fee, so there is no contract to unwind — you can run both in parallel and compare results before switching. You can screen through the portal, upload a batch as CSV or XLSX, or integrate the REST API v1. There is nothing to migrate in terms of stored data; you simply point new screening at ScreenVeritAI and, if you like, re-run recent counterparties to compare coverage and false-positive handling.
- Which is better for EU companies?
- For EU-regulated teams, ScreenVeritAI is designed around EU data residency: infrastructure is hosted in Finland, data at rest never leaves the EU, and the deterministic Quick Check and monitoring send no data to any AI model. Dilisense is legally Swiss and references GDPR but does not publish an EU data-residency guarantee. If your compliance or data-protection team needs an explicit answer on where data lives and whether it reaches an AI model, ScreenVeritAI states it directly.
- Do both cover PEP screening?
- Yes, both screen politically exposed persons. Dilisense includes PEP screening but does not publish record or source counts. ScreenVeritAI runs a dedicated PEP domain of 750,000+ structured records drawn from 134 public sources, enhanced with AI/OSINT discovery for recent or contextual signals, and it is included in every check starting at the Quick Check level.
