Where they pull apart

Accurate Background

Stands out: Minority-owned global screener that also offers a background check API with a developer sandbox.

Watch out: There is no public per-check price. Packages are quoted, and the client ordering platform is aimed at employers with 1,000-plus staff.

Not the right fit for

  • One-off personal background checks
  • Buyers who want a published per-check price

Asurint

Stands out: A CRA that still does employment, tenant, and government work, not a startup API wrapper.

Watch out: Quote-only. There is no self-serve $29.99 package.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that want a public per-check price
  • Teams that only need a developer API
  • Non-US hiring as the primary volume

Pros and cons

Accurate Background

  • Global coverage across 6 continents
  • API with sandbox and webhooks
  • ATS integrations available
  • No public per-check pricing

Asurint

  • Employment plus tenant plus government screening in one CRA
  • Drug testing in the same relationship
  • Traditional CRA motion for buyers who do not want a startup wrapper
  • Quote-only, with no published rate card
  • No public per-check card
  • Integration list is not published in detail
