The short answer

  • Checkr : API-first screens if you want a public developer portal. From $29.99/report
  • GoodHire : Small-business checks if you want a published package price. From $29.99/check
  • Asurint : Another PBSA CRA if you need a different mid-market shop. From Sales-quoted
  • HireRight : Enterprise screening if global depth is the requirement. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past PeopleFacts

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

What we noted

  • No public per-check prices
  • Packages are custom via sales
  • Named ATS connections are not listed

Not the right fit for

  • HR teams that want a published $ per check
  • Buyers who need a self-serve small-business storefront

Worth keeping in mind: One shop for criminal, drug, DOT, credit, and international screens without an enterprise CRA brand.

What each one does differently

Checkr

$29.99/report MCP API

Why it comes up: API-first screens if you want a public developer portal.

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

GoodHire

$29.99/check API

Why it comes up: Small-business checks if you want a published package price.

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.

Best for

  • US SMBs that run occasional background checks
  • Staffing and hourly desks that want FCRA-compliant ordering from the ATS
  • Companies that also need drug tests and MVR on the same vendor

Asurint

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Another PBSA CRA if you need a different mid-market shop.

Stands out: A CRA that still does employment, tenant, and government work, not a startup API wrapper.

Watch out: Quote-only. There is no self-serve $29.99 package.

Best for

  • HR teams buying employment screening and drug tests
  • Property and tenant screening adjacent to HR
  • Government-related screening programmes

HireRight

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Enterprise screening if global depth is the requirement.

Stands out: Integrates with 70 solutions across more than 45 HCM and ATS providers, plus the HireRight Connect REST API.

Watch out: No published per-check price. Cost depends on industry, check types, volume and regulatory needs, so budget only after a scoped package.

Best for

  • Enterprises with regulated or high-volume hiring
  • Teams that screen inside their ATS or HCM
  • Employers screening candidates in many countries
