Key differences
ScreenVeritAI and NameScan, point by point
Choose the depth
Keep routine checks simple. Add AI review per case.
Quick Check (€0.39) uses deterministic matching across sanctions, PEP/RCA and criminal watchlists. Full Search (€5.90) adds query expansion and written AI review of candidate matches. An Adverse Media Check (€0.99) is available separately for source-linked news research. You can choose the product for the case in front of you.
Comparable evidence
Both provide PDFs. Compare what is inside.
NameScan documents PDF reports for Emerald and Sapphire scans. ScreenVeritAI includes a PDF with its check and adds written match reasoning in Full Search. Use the same sample names in both products and compare source references, identifying details and the explanation available to the reviewer.
Published scope
Check the sources that matter to your business
ScreenVeritAI publishes its sanctions and criminal-watchlist register and identifies the contributing PEP/RCA datasets. NameScan offers different data packages, including Acuris data in Sapphire. Review the package you would actually buy against your required authorities and test cases; aggregate record counts alone do not measure screening accuracy.

Feature comparison
How ScreenVeritAI and NameScan compare across the capabilities compliance teams evaluate.
| Capability | ScreenVeritAI | NameScan |
|---|---|---|
| Source coverage | 59 sanctions sources (11 core, 48 additional), 16 criminal watchlists, 730,314 PEP/RCA people from 297 datasets. Quick Check and Full Search include all three domains; source register published | "thousands of credible worldwide sanctions, regulatory and law enforcement lists" across "195 countries", updated daily. No register, no source count, no per-list timestamps. |
| PEP / RCA scope | PEP and RCA — 730,314 people across 297 datasets (2026-09-30), including relatives and close associates. Included in Quick Check and Full Search | Emerald and Sapphire PEP data packages; Sapphire identifies Acuris data and publishes 1.4 million PEP profiles. |
| Criminal watchlists | 16 criminal and wanted-person watchlists — Interpol Red Notices, FBI, Europol, national police forces — included in Quick Check and Full Search | Law-enforcement data appears only inside the aggregate description; no criminal or wanted-person domain is broken out. |
| Screening levels & explainability | Four name-screening/research products — Quick Check (deterministic, no AI), Adverse Media Check, Full Search (query expansion, aliases, explainable AI review of every match) and the Deep Research Report | Emerald and Sapphire data packages. Written AI match review was not confirmed in the reviewed sources. |
| EU data residency | Core infrastructure in Finland. Quick Check uses no AI; AI products use external providers | Confirm storage and processing regions for the selected product. |
| Point-in-time evidence | Saved name-screening findings with PDF export, available while the screening record is retained | Emerald and Sapphire scans have a documented PDF report endpoint. Scan history is available in the dashboard; snapshot retention terms need confirmation. |
| Pricing model | Quick Check €0.39, Adverse Media €0.99, Full Search €5.90, Deep Research €14.90. PAYG: no platform fee or required subscription; €5 minimum top-up. 50 Quick Checks: €19.50; 500: €195 | Prepaid Emerald and Sapphire packages; credits valid twelve months. The selected package and volume determine the rate. |
| REST API | REST API v1: name screening with polling, browser CSV/XLSX uploads (100 rows per batch job), and separate synchronous Crypto Address Check. Crypto is API-only, without batch or PDF | A documented REST API of "predictable, resource-oriented URLs", keys behind registration, plus a no-code CSV upload with a template. Confirm SDK and webhook requirements. |
| Ongoing monitoring | Scheduled re-screening available with monthly plans (slot limits per tier); runs use check allowances or PAYG balance — no separate watch fee | Sold through a different product, the enterprise MemberCheck platform, with no stated cadence and no per-entity price. |
| Crypto address checks | API-only Crypto Address Check: exact OFAC identifiers by currency label, optional native-USDC issuer-block check on Ethereum. €0.39/completed check, PAYG only. No transaction tracing, monitoring, batch or PDF | Confirm crypto-address coverage and supported networks with the vendor. |

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask before switching from NameScan.
Is NameScan cheaper than ScreenVeritAI?
NameScan sells prepaid packages; the rate depends on the package and volume selected. ScreenVeritAI publishes Quick Check €0.39, Adverse Media €0.99 and Full Search €5.90, with no PAYG platform fee. Compare the cost at your expected volume and include the reporting and data scope you need.
Can I migrate from NameScan to ScreenVeritAI?
Run the same test names through both services and compare source coverage, match handling and reports. ScreenVeritAI supports portal checks, CSV/XLSX batches of up to 100 rows and REST API v1. An API change requires adapting authentication, requests and result handling; retain your existing screening records and plan any monitoring cutover before switching.
Which is better for EU companies?
ScreenVeritAI hosts its core infrastructure in Finland. Quick Check uses deterministic list matching without AI processing. Full Search and Adverse Media use external AI and research services; hosting location alone is not a guarantee that all processing stays in the EU. Confirm AI-provider processing and retention terms for the products you intend to use.
Do both cover PEP screening?
Yes. NameScan offers PEP screening through Emerald and Sapphire; its Sapphire page identifies Acuris data and 1.4 million PEP profiles. ScreenVeritAI includes public-source PEP/RCA screening in Quick Check and Full Search. Different totals reflect different datasets and do not establish which service will find a particular person.
Does ScreenVeritAI also check crypto addresses?
Yes. Crypto Address Check is an API-only product at €0.39 per completed check, funded only from the EUR prepaid wallet. It matches exact OFAC identifiers under the requested currency label. Add the Ethereum network option to check native-USDC issuer-block status at a finalized block. The response includes source evidence; it does not provide transaction tracing, exposure scoring, monitoring, batch or a PDF. A negative source result is not a clean-wallet verdict.
