What sanctions screening vendors actually cost
None of these vendors publish list prices. These breakdowns set out what drives each quote, what to ask before signing, and what the same screen costs without a platform contract.
Every vendor below quotes privately. That is not evasiveness — the contracts really are scoped per customer — but it does mean you cannot compare them without knowing what moves each quote. That is what these pages are for.

Frequently asked questions
Why does no sanctions screening vendor publish pricing?
Because the contracts are scoped per customer across data modules, seats, volume and redistribution rights. A single list price would be wrong for almost everyone, so vendors quote instead. SanctionsAI publishes prices because it sells one thing — OFAC list screening — and the scope does not vary.
Which sanctions screening vendor is cheapest?
For OFAC list screening specifically, a free tier or self-hosted library is the floor, and SanctionsAI offers both. Among the enterprise platforms, none publish prices, so any ranking by cost would be a guess.
Do I need an enterprise compliance platform?
It depends on your obligation. Direct SDN list matching before a payment is a narrow requirement. PEP screening, adverse media and ownership research are wider ones, and that is what the enterprise price buys.
