Verifex vs Moody's Sanctions360
An enterprise investigation platform compared with a developer-first compliance evidence API. Different tools for different teams.
Moody's Sanctions360 is part of a large enterprise risk and investigation suite, backed by Moody's managed data (including Orbis company data and Grid risk data). For large banks and institutions that need deep managed datasets, case management, analyst tooling, and enterprise procurement, Moody's is a heavyweight, established choice.
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, a published benchmark (500-case benchmark: 99.68% f1, 99.36% recall, 100% precision.), a no-code dashboard, and audit-ready evidence for every screening.
These products are not aimed at the same buyer. If you are a large institution that needs Moody's managed data and a full investigation platform, Moody's fits better — Verifex does not claim to replace it for enterprise-bank investigations. If you are a fintech, SaaS platform, or smaller team that wants to screen and keep evidence without an enterprise contract, Verifex is the faster, more affordable path.

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 transparent pricing from $49/month after a 50-screen free tier, with self-serve signup. Moody's is enterprise/sales-led, typically involving a procurement cycle. For smaller teams, Verifex is the more affordable and faster option.
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?
A fintech that wants to ship screening quickly, keep evidence for each decision, and avoid enterprise procurement will usually fit Verifex better. A large institution needing Moody's managed data and investigation tooling will fit Moody's better.
