The decision frame
Start with what your team wants to own.
Moody's Sanctions360 combines sanctions screening with Moody's managed Orbis company data and Grid risk data. Its official product page emphasizes ownership networks, related entities, adverse-media context, investigations, and sanctions exposure beyond direct list matches.
Verifex is a lighter, developer-first compliance evidence API for fintechs, SaaS teams, and smaller regulated businesses. It offers self-serve signup, transparent pricing from $49/month after a 50-screen free tier, an internal benchmark (0 severe false positives across 5,000 adversarial negatives (95% ci ≤ 0.077%)), a no-code dashboard, and audit-ready evidence for every screening.
Read the evaluation criteria
These products have different boundaries. Verifex does not claim to replace Moody's managed datasets or deep network-investigation workflows. Compare the exact data rights, sources, ownership analysis, evidence payload, integration path, and current commercial proposal required by your program.
For implementation detail, review the Verifex screening workflow, including coverage semantics, evidence, and integration boundaries.

Screening truth is per result. A no-hit alone is not a clearance. Treat a result as clear only when Standard Screening is clearance-eligible, source coverage is complete, the candidate set is complete, and the result has zero matches. Otherwise the result remains unresolved and needs your policy or review.

Make the tradeoffs explicit.
Is Verifex a replacement for Moody's Sanctions360?
Not for large enterprises. Moody's offers managed datasets and a full investigation platform that Verifex does not replace for enterprise-bank use. Verifex targets fintechs, SaaS platforms, and smaller regulated teams that want fast, affordable screening with audit-ready evidence.
Which is more affordable?
Verifex publishes self-serve pricing from $49/month after a 50-screen evaluation tier. The reviewed Moody's page directs buyers to get in touch and does not publish a comparable package price. Obtain a current proposal and compare the complete data and workflow scope.
Does Verifex provide the same managed data as Moody's?
No. Moody's licenses large managed datasets such as Orbis and Grid. Verifex screens against official and public sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and KYB sources and references GLEIF for company data; it does not resell Moody's datasets.
Which should a fintech choose?
Choose from the required product boundary. Verifex focuses on API screening and evidence; Moody's emphasizes managed company and risk data, ownership networks, and investigation context. Validate both against your policy and data-rights requirements.
