Sterling Check Finops
FinOps view of Sterling spend. Sterling (a First Advantage company) is a background and identity screening provider; cost is driven by the screenings you order rather than by API calls. Billing is quote-based and contractual - effectively per background check / per screening package, with per-check price varying by the products bundled (criminal, verifications, drug/health, identity, continuous monitoring) and the screening region (US, EMEA, Canada, APAC). The API is the ordering channel, not a separately metered product. Downstream passthrough fees (e.g., court access or verification fees) may add to Sterling's own charges.
