ScreenVeritAI and sanctions.io, point by point
Saved results
Return to the screening after the check

If your reviewers work at different times, consider how each workflow keeps the evidence available.

Review the match
Add an explanation to the candidate result

Reviewers can inspect the source evidence and reasoning before deciding whether a candidate refers to their counterparty. Quick Check remains available when you need deterministic screening without AI.

Feature comparison
How ScreenVeritAI and sanctions.io compare across the capabilities compliance teams evaluate.
| Capability | ScreenVeritAI | sanctions.io |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Publishes "75+ Sanctions Lists" with roughly fifty authorities itemised by region, refreshed "Every 60 Minutes". No per-list update 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 | PEP published as a record count — "more than 1M records", including judges, military personnel and close associates — with no source register behind it. |
| Criminal watchlists | 16 criminal and wanted-person watchlists — Interpol Red Notices, FBI, Europol, national police forces — included in Quick Check and Full Search | A named domain: FBI Most Wanted and Fugitives plus Interpol Red Notices, "8k+" records. Two list families, on one page. |
| 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 | Matching with documented transliteration handling — its published examples are concrete. The pages describe no tiered levels and no per-match written reasoning. |
| EU data residency | Core infrastructure in Finland. Quick Check uses no AI; AI products use external providers | Confirm hosting 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 | PDF, CSV and JSON reports are available. Manual single-screen results are retained for one hour; download the report during that window. |
| 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 | Custom proposal; compare quoted usage and contract terms with the required screening volume. |
| 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 | REST screening API with a batch endpoint and webhook result notifications, plus a no-code path: upload an Excel file, results by email. No named SDKs. |
| Ongoing monitoring | Scheduled re-screening available with monthly plans (slot limits per tier); runs use check allowances or PAYG balance — no separate watch fee | A published product with alerts and allow/deny lists. Cadence is given for the data ("every 60 minutes"), not per entity, and the price comes from a call. |
| 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 sanctions.io.
Is sanctions.io cheaper than ScreenVeritAI?
Compare your sanctions.io quote with ScreenVeritAI’s published per-check rates: Quick Check €0.39, Adverse Media €0.99 and Full Search €5.90. Include plan commitments, monitoring and reports in both totals. Without a comparable quote and workload, there is no reliable price winner.
Can I migrate from sanctions.io 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. Both offer PEP screening alongside sanctions. ScreenVeritAI includes its PEP/RCA dataset in Quick Check and Full Search; sanctions.io publishes a PEP dataset of more than one million records. Test the people and jurisdictions relevant to your business rather than comparing totals alone.
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.
