Asurint

Sales-quoted

Employment, tenant, and government screening plus drug tests. Pricing is sales-quoted.

Where Asurint fits

  • Property and tenant screening adjacent to HR
  • Government-related screening programmes

Where GoodHire fits

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

GoodHire

Stands out: SMBs can actually see a rate card: Basic $29.99, Essential $59.99, Complete $94.99 per check, with a self-serve path under 50 checks a year instead of a mandatory sales call.

Watch out: Those prices are for fewer than 50 checks a year. Volume is a custom quote. County, state, and federal searches, drug tests, MVR, and education/employment verifications stack on. Third-party pass-through fees apply. Do not budget $29.99 as the all-in cost of a hire.

Not the right fit for

  • Global screening programs that need one worldwide CRA
  • Enterprises that will immediately exceed 50 checks and wanted the $29.99 number to hold

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

GoodHire

  • Public Basic price at $29.99/check for low volume
  • Drug tests and MVR on the same platform
  • Broad ATS/HRIS ordering list including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and BambooHR
  • $29.99 is the <50-checks band, not volume pricing
  • County, drug, and verification add-ons plus pass-through fees
  • US-centric; not a global screening platform
