Sanctions.io Pricing and a Sanctions.io Alternative with Public Prices
Sanctions.io does not print prices on its website. Its pricing calculator asks for your yearly screening volume, number of entities, screening interval and a 1, 2 or 3 year term, then returns a quote. Its HubSpot Marketplace listing, last updated April 15, 2026 and marked display only, shows 10,000 screenings for $3,660 a year, 50,000 for $6,900 and 250,000 for $11,625. OfacScanner publishes fixed prices, from $288 a year for 1,000 checks a month.
How much does sanctions.io cost in 2026
Expect a quote, not a price list. The calculator on sanctions.io lets you pick a yearly volume of 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 250,000 or more screenings, an entity count from 100 to over 10,000, an interval (once, quarterly, monthly or ongoing monitoring) and a contract of 1, 2 or 3 years. You can pay monthly by card or yearly by invoice. The price fields stay blank until you send the form.
The only public numbers we found sit on the sanctions.io app listing in the HubSpot Marketplace. The SMALL package is 10,000 screenings for $3,660 a year and includes global sanctions lists, global PEP data, full API access and the screening portal. MEDIUM is 50,000 screenings for $6,900 and LARGE is 250,000 for $11,625. The listing says those prices are for display only, so treat them as a floor for your conversation with sales, not a quote.
Packages are sold as a block of screenings. They renew after twelve months, or earlier once you use them up.
Sanctions.io vs OfacScanner pricing and features
Facts for sanctions.io come from its website, its pricing calculator and its HubSpot listing. Where sanctions.io does not state something, the table says so.
| sanctions.io | OfacScanner | |
|---|---|---|
| How price is shown | Calculator quote, prices not on the site | Fixed prices on the pricing page |
| Smallest listed package | 10,000 screenings a year for $3,660 (HubSpot listing) | Starter, 1,000 checks a month for $49 monthly or $288 a year |
| Mid volume | 50,000 screenings a year for $6,900 (HubSpot listing) | Growth, 50,000 checks a month for $499 monthly or $2,988 a year |
| Contract | 1, 2 or 3 years, paid monthly by card or yearly by invoice | Month to month or yearly |
| Sanctions lists | 75+ lists from 30+ jurisdictions, updated every 60 minutes | OFAC SDN and Consolidated on Starter, plus UN, EU, UK, Canada and Australia on Growth |
| PEP, adverse media, criminal lists | Yes, PEP data, 60,000+ media sources, Interpol and FBI lists | No, sanctions lists only |
| Batch screening | Excel upload in the portal and a batch API | CSV files up to 100,000 rows (Growth) |

What 10,000 and 50,000 screenings a year cost on each
Two common volumes, priced from public numbers. This is only a fair match for a sanctions-only program, because every sanctions.io package includes PEP data that OfacScanner does not have.
| Yearly volume | sanctions.io listed price | OfacScanner plan | OfacScanner yearly cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 screenings, OFAC only | $3,660 (SMALL) | Starter, up to 1,000 a month | $288 |
| 10,000 screenings, OFAC plus UN, EU and UK | $3,660 (SMALL) | Growth | $2,988 |
| 50,000 screenings, multi list | $6,900 (MEDIUM) | Growth, up to 50,000 a month | $2,988 |
| 250,000 screenings with API access | $11,625 (LARGE) | Scale, 500,000 a month with API | $11,988 |
Starter covers 1,000 checks in each month, so it fits 10,000 a year only when volume is spread evenly. A team that screens a whole file once a quarter needs Growth for batch upload.
When sanctions.io is the better choice
Pick sanctions.io if your program needs more than sanctions. A fintech or payments company with an AML program usually has to screen customers for politically exposed persons and adverse media as well. Sanctions.io bundles PEP data with over a million records, news from more than 60,000 sources and criminal lists such as Interpol Red Notices. OfacScanner does none of that, and buying a second PEP tool next to us can cost more than one bundle.
It is also the better fit when screening has to live inside your CRM or store. Sanctions.io lists ready connectors for Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP and Shopify, and its API comes with the smallest package. On OfacScanner the API starts on Scale. If that is your setup, take the AML screening scope seriously and choose the tool that covers all of it.
Why sanctions-only teams pick OfacScanner instead
These are the buyers who leave the sanctions.io quote unsigned.
A price you can approve today
Finance can sign off on $49 a month without a discovery call, a proposal or a multi year term. Cancel at the end of any month on monthly billing.
Volume per month, not per year
Growth includes 50,000 checks every month. The MEDIUM sanctions.io package is 50,000 for the whole year. A team that rescreens its file often runs out of a yearly block fast.
Proof for each decision
Every check saves a PDF with the list version, the time, the user and why the score came out the way it did. That is the page an auditor or bank partner asks for.
The lists a U.S. program needs
OFAC SDN and Consolidated on every plan, plus UN, EU, UK, Canada and Australia on Growth. That covers most sanctions-only programs without paying for PEP data you never use.
Rescreening after every update
Ongoing sanctions monitoring rechecks up to 50,000 saved records on Growth each time a list changes and alerts only on new matches.
Whole files in one pass
Batch sanctions screening takes a CSV of customers or vendors as it is and rates every row, with cases opened for the possible matches.
How to compare a sanctions.io quote with fixed plans
Do this before you sign a 2 or 3 year term.
-
01
Count real screenings per year
Add onboarding checks, rescreening of the existing file and payment checks. Rescreening a 5,000 name file monthly is 60,000 screenings a year on a block based plan.
-
02
Decide whether you need PEP and media
If your policy only asks for sanctions screening, the PEP and adverse media part of a bundle is cost without use.
-
03
Price both at that volume
Use the sanctions.io calculator for a quote and our pricing page for the fixed figure. Ask sanctions.io what happens when the block runs out before the year ends.
-
04
Test with your own names
Run a few hard names in the console at the top of this page, then open the PDF and decide whether it would satisfy your auditor.
Questions to ask before you sign either contract
-
What is the total cost over the full term, not the first year
-
Are screenings counted per name, per list or per rescreen
-
What happens to unused screenings at renewal
-
Which record is kept for a single check, and can you download it as a PDF
-
Can a second person approve a cleared match, and is the reason saved
-
Do you need PEP and adverse media now, or only sanctions lists
A match score is a lead, not a verdict
Neither tool decides whether a person or company is sanctioned. Both score how close a name is to a listed entry. Confirm a likely match against the official Treasury Sanctions List Search and involve your compliance lead or counsel before you block, reject or report anything. Comparing API options as well?
