What each one does differently

Checkr

$29.99/report MCP API

Why it comes up: Modern CRA if you want ATS-native ordering and an API.

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.

Best for

  • US employers running criminal packages at hire
  • Teams that want candidate self-entry and ATS hooks
  • Platforms ordering checks through the Checkr API

DISA

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Drug and DOT specialist if screening volume is the job.

Stands out: Screening built around DOT, drugs, and occupational health, not a generic nationwide criminal package for office hires.

Watch out: If you do not have DOT or safety-sensitive roles, you are buying the wrong CRA. Pricing is quoted.

Best for

  • Transportation and logistics employers
  • DOT-regulated workforces
  • Safety-sensitive hiring that needs drug and occ-health in one vendor

ClearStar

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Another combined background and drug vendor.

Stands out: Screening plus occ-health (ClearMD) in one CRA family, which matters when drug and physicals sit beside the criminal package.

Watch out: Quote-only. Office-only employers will over-buy occ-health they do not use.

Best for

  • Employers that need background plus drug plus occ-health
  • HR teams that want one vendor for screens and physicals
  • Industrial and safety-sensitive hiring

PeopleFacts

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: PBSA screens if you want a different mid-market CRA.

Stands out: One shop for criminal, drug, DOT, credit, and international screens without an enterprise CRA brand.

Watch out: There is no public per-check menu. Buying starts with sales, and packages are custom.

Best for

  • Employers that need FCRA-compliant criminal searches
  • Landlords running tenant screens
  • Nonprofits screening volunteers
