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
