Where they pull apart

Checkr

Stands out: Self-serve packages plus MCP at mcp.checkr.com so hiring agents can read reports.

Watch out: Court and database access fees are billed on top, at cost. Essential and Complete cost more. International checks are priced by country.

Not the right fit for

  • Landlords (use Checkr Tenant, not Workforce)
  • Companies that need one global price for every country

InfoMart

Stands out: PBSA-accredited CRA with a public REST API and same-day-ish 1.06-day average turnaround.

Watch out: There is no public per-check menu. Under 10 checks a year still goes through onboarding, not a storefront cart.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a printed $26 check menu
  • Teams that will not complete an account setup

Pros and cons

Checkr

InfoMart

  • Documented REST API for ATS orders

  • SMB and enterprise programs both sold
  • No public per-check prices
  • Low-volume still needs onboarding
  • Not a self-serve consumer storefront
