Where they pull apart

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

Cisive

Stands out: Vertical CRAs (PreCheck, Driver iQ) rather than a generic nationwide criminal SKU.

Watch out: Quote-only, and the product is industry-shaped. A tech company's office hiring team does not need this.

Not the right fit for

SaaS office hiring
SMBs that want a public $29 check
Global EOR screening as the primary use

Pros and cons

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

Cisive

Healthcare and transportation vertical depth
PreCheck and Driver iQ are known names in those industries
CRA motion for regulated hiring

Quote-only, with no published rate card
Wrong vendor for generic office criminal checks
Brand structure is confusing at purchase
