Castellum.AI’s major play is serious coverage (monitors 1,000+ global watchlists) and serious speed (five-minute refresh on lists, instead of daily or weekly). It then layers adverse media and ownership data from over 200,000+ sources. The promise: Fewer false positives; and a quicker, developer-friendly rollout. The reality? If you’re in sanctions/PEP land and need access to cleaner data, fast, things look close. Tradeoffs include sales-led pricing, relatively few third-party reviews, and a feature set that can be heavy for lean teams. A good fit for fintechs, crypto exchanges, and banks that consider screening part of their critical infrastructure.

Total Score
- Watchlist Coverage & Freshness91/100 Amazing1,000+ watchlists covering sanctions/PEP/export control, with five-minute update checks. Stops stale hits, helps signal
- API & Integration Speed88/100 AmazingREST API, docs, and tuning parameters. Vendor guidance suggests <1 week with one developer to go live.
- Adverse Media & Monitoring85/100 AmazingAdverse-media screening with risk-based filters, plus ongoing monitoring and transaction-screening APIs for continuous coverage.
Best for
- Frequent updates, broad lists — Five-minute refresh on 1,000+ watchlists reduces lag and misses
- Data depth — 200,000+ sources and enriched records aim to lower false positives. Vendor claims “94% fewer false positives.”
- Dev-friendly — Clear REST API, KB, and fast-integration guidance.
Think twice if
- Thin public validation — G2 profile shows essentially no user reviews to benchmark real-world performance.
- Opaque pricing — “Get a demo” posture; no public pricing—plan on a sales cycle. (Inference from Pricing page.)
- Hefty toolkit — Rich data and options can overwhelm lean teams until filters and rules are dialed in. (Inference from product breadth.)
