ComplyAdvantage · FinOps Profile

Complyadvantage Finops

FinOps view of ComplyAdvantage spend. The self-serve Starter Plan is a monthly subscription (from $99/month) sized by a monitored-entity allowance of 100 to 2,000 entities - the dominant cost driver is how many customers you keep under ongoing monitoring, with overages above the allowance charged in the next billing cycle. Enterprise agreements (contact sales) cover higher volumes plus payments screening and transaction monitoring, typically negotiated on screening and monitoring volume. One-off screening searches, monitoring re-screens, and API calls all draw on the same subscription rather than being metered per call on the published plans.
