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
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
