Many AML platforms advertise a low subscription fee — or no fee at all.
But the real cost is often hidden in add-ons and per-check screening fees that compound month after month.
We believe in transparent pricing. Here's how AML Shield compares.
Solo accountant sighting IDs in person. AML Shield Micro package.
Small law firm with 2 users. AML Shield Standard package.
Mid-size agency with 3 users. AML Shield Standard package.
Most competitors lead with KYC screening — but screening is only one piece of what AUSTRAC expects. A complete AML/CTF program covers risk assessment, policies, procedures, training, assurance reporting, and record-keeping.
Feature information based on publicly available materials as of March 2026. Contact providers directly for the most current details.
Several providers are offering free platform access in the lead-up to July 1. The catch? Their real revenue comes from per-check screening fees that kick in once you're locked in.
Competitor 2 is offering complimentary screening until May 31 — after that, every CDD check costs you. Competitor 4's free access expires on July 1. By the time you're paying, your AML program is built on their platform and switching costs are high.
The question to ask: "What will this actually cost me per month once the introductory period ends?"
With AML Shield, the answer starts with clearly defined packages from $71 per month, with workflows that extend beyond basic screening so you can build a defensible AML/CTF program.
A complete AML/CTF program requires a risk assessment, policies and procedures, escalation workflows, staff training, assurance reporting, and record-keeping. If your "compliance platform" only does screening, your firm may have a screening tool but not a defensible AML/CTF program.
AML Shield is built directly from AUSTRAC's Program Starter Kits — the frameworks developed in collaboration with industry peak bodies. Every workflow, every form, every process maps to what the regulator actually expects.
