Where they pull apart

Foley

Stands out: One platform for DQ files, Clearinghouse, drug tests, and criminal screens, plus Navigator AI guidance.

Watch out: Criminal checks sit on Professional and Power, not Essential. There is no public dollar card.

Not the right fit for

  • Office employers with no DOT exposure
  • Buyers who need a printed monthly SaaS fee

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
