Where they pull apart

CrossChq

Stands out: References as structured data plus fraud and quality-of-hire, not a phone-tag spreadsheet.

Watch out: Pricing is quote-based, so budget from a quote.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that want a $42 Veremark package
  • Teams that only need a criminal background check
  • Buyers who need a public price grid

Veremark

Stands out: Public US packages (Essential $42, Professional $169, Executive $397) plus a Verelink REST API and named ATS connectors.

Watch out: Essential is references plus identity, not a full criminal package. Do not treat $42 as a complete executive screen.

Not the right fit for

  • US employers that only need a $29.99 FCRA criminal package
  • DOT/occ-health programmes
  • Teams that need a free trial of a live screen

Pros and cons

CrossChq

  • Structured references instead of phone tag
  • Workday, Greenhouse, and iCIMS named
  • Fraud and quality-of-hire in the same product family
  • No published pricing grid
  • Not a criminal background check
  • SMB packages like Veremark may be cheaper for simple references

Veremark

  • Public $42 Essential package
  • Named ATS connectors plus REST API
  • Global screening rather than US-only criminal
  • Essential is not a full criminal/executive screen
  • No free trial advertised
  • Wrong tool for DOT physicals
