For teams looking for a no-frills, pay-as-you-go workhorse for rapid screening, NameScan is an efficient, practical option. Sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening is simple, API-ready, and supported by public pricing; KYB sources over 180 registries in 120+ countries. It’s volume-and-pragmatism focused, not bells-and-whistles orchestration: Caveats include dataset depth varying by tier (Emerald vs Sapphire), free tools not always available, and limited depth of continuous corporate monitoring. A good fit for SMEs, fintechs, and crypto operators looking to screen quickly without enterprise sprawl.

Total Score
  • Screening Coverage & Freshness
    85/100 Amazing
    PEP, sanctions, and adverse-media screening with regularly updated datasets; API access simplifies onboarding flows
  • KYB Breadth
    82/100 Very good
    Company checks against 180+ registries, 170M+ entities, 120 countries; solid single-shot diligence.
  • Integration & Cost
    86/100 Amazing
    REST API, batch options, free checks, transparent PAYG pricing—easy to trial and scale.

Good for

  • Transparent, PAYG pricing + free checks — low barrier to start; public packages.
  • Wide KYB data reach — 180+ registries, 170M+ entities across 120 countries.
  • Developer-friendly — RESTful API; straightforward to wire screening into onboarding.

Think twice if

  • Dataset tiers vary — Emerald vs Sapphire depth; free checks use Emerald only.
  • Free tools uptime — free PEP/sanctions checks can be unavailable.
  • Continuous KYB unclear — strong single checks, but ongoing corporate monitoring details are limited.
