What AML Compliance Actually Costs

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.

Scenario 1

Solo Accountant — 3 CDD Checks/Month

Provider Platform Cost Screening Cost Total Monthly
Competitor 1 $0 3 × $40 = $120 $120
Competitor 4 ~$49 Per-check fees $60–100+
AML Shield Annual $88 Included in platform $88

Solo accountant sighting IDs in person. AML Shield Complete Compliance package.

Scenario 2

Small Law Firm — 15 CDD Checks/Month

Provider Platform Cost Screening Cost Total Monthly
Competitor 1 $0 15 × $40 = $600 $600
Competitor 2 (post-May) $0 15 × ~$25 = $375 ~$375
Competitor 3 $75/user × 2 = $150 15 × $45 = $675 $825
Competitor 4 ~$99 Per-check fees $200–400+
AML Shield Annual $133 Included in platform $133

Small law firm with 2 users. AML Shield Total Compliance package.

Scenario 3

Real Estate Agency — 30 CDD Checks/Month

Provider Platform Cost Screening Cost Total Monthly
Competitor 1 $0 30 × $40 = $1,200 $1,200
Competitor 3 $75/user × 3 = $225 30 × $45 = $1,350 $1,575
AML Shield Annual $133 Included in platform $133

More Than Just Screening

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.

Compliance depth

Built to automate AUSTRAC starter kits.
Accept nothing less.

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.
