Comparison by the CryptoAML.ai team
Updated 6 October 2026. 6 tools compared. Vendor facts checked the same day.
Six crypto AML screening tools target different buyers. Three of them allow a wallet check without a sales conversation. The other three rely on demos or trial requests, integrated platforms, and reports built for auditors.
Our ranking uses four criteria, in this order: no sales call or account verification required to start, a public price, self-stated chain coverage, and tooling depth (tracing, monitoring, reports). CryptoAML.ai targets the first two criteria, and leads on the second while tying with AMLBot and Scorechain on the first. Elliptic (65+ blockchains, bridges and tokens), AMLBot (35+ blockchains, per its blog) and Scorechain (25+ blockchains) state wider coverage than ours. All five other tools offer deeper features; CryptoAML.ai provides only a risk signal, with no investigative tracing or graph, and no monitoring beyond an optional paid 30-day re-check of a saved wallet in the bot.
| Tool | Start | Public price | Chains (vendor figure) | Where it beats CryptoAML.ai |

| CryptoAML.ai | Web, Telegram bot, API | Free web grant, $1 web report, API at $29 (Basic) or $79 (Premium) per 30 days | 17 in the web tool; bot, paid report and API cover at least BTC, ETH, TRON, further networks depend on the screening provider | Reference point |
| AMLBot | Wallet checker, KYT API, demo | Not on the pages we read | 35+ (AMLBot blog) | Monitoring, KYC, tracing |
| Scorechain | Free wallet checks, Telegram bot, demo | Not on the pages we read | 25+ | Reports, Travel Rule API, coverage |
| Elliptic | Free trial or demo | Not on the homepage | 65+ blockchains, bridges and tokens | Coverage, investigations |
| TRM Labs | Request a demo | Not on the homepage | Not on the homepage | Forensics, triage, entity due diligence |
| Chainalysis | Request a demo | Not on the homepage | Not on the homepage | Tracing, monitoring |
Vendor figures are marketing numbers from each vendor's homepage, collected on 6 October 2026, except AMLBot's chain count and free-check terms, which come from its blog, and its risk-source count, which comes from its analysis page. We did not verify them. Cells marked "Not on the pages we read" mean we found no figure to quote. CryptoAML.ai figures are from cryptoaml.ai/pricing on that same day, except the tracker price, which comes from the bot.
The CryptoAML.ai web tool recognizes 17 networks and the Telegram bot covers at least Bitcoin, Ethereum and TRON (further networks depend on its screening provider). It separates a direct OFAC address match from signals tied to UN, UK, Australian and Swiss labels or entities. On networks the screening provider does not cover, paid reports and API checks are refused, and only the one-time free web grant, if still unused, works there. The free web grant delivers one basic result per browser fingerprint, with at most one free grant per IP address per calendar day. A paid web report is $1 and includes a PDF when generation works. Telegram checks happen via @cryptoamlscan_bot: the first check is free per owner across the primary and backup bots, then 1 USDT or 75 Telegram Stars. The API plans cost $29 (Basic) or $79 (Premium) per 30 days and include 500 checks per calendar month. The product has no transaction graph and no investigative tracing. On TRON, a limited check screens recent inbound USDT TRC-20 senders one or two hops back against public lists only, which does not establish the source of funds. A clean result does not prove the address has no sanctions exposure.
AMLBot's homepage mentions a wallet checker, transaction monitoring, a KYT API, KYC verification, and an AI tracing tool. Its analysis page describes scoring that draws on 20+ risk sources. We found no price list on the pages we read, so we quote none; its blog states 35+ blockchains. This tool suits teams that need monitoring and KYC from a single vendor.
Scorechain's homepage claims coverage of 25+ blockchains. It lists free wallet checks, a Telegram bot, a free sanction screening API, KYA and KYT reports, a Travel Rule API, and an exploration tool. No price appears. Structured reports for auditors are its strong side.
Elliptic claims 65+ blockchains, bridges and tokens, the highest coverage figure in this comparison. It offers a demo and a free trial. Its homepage lists wallet and transaction screening, investigations, and stablecoin risk management. No price is shown. Teams that trace funds across chains get the most from it.
TRM Labs requires new customers to request a demo. Its navigation shows Forensics, Triage, and a BLOCKINT API. The homepage speaks to law enforcement, regulators, and financial institutions. The homepage states no price and no chain count. Investigators and supervised institutions are its audience.
Chainalysis requires a demo request and displays no price. Its products cover Reactor for tracing, KYT for transaction monitoring, Address Screening, and Wallet Scan. The homepage states that nine of the top ten crypto exchanges use it, and that it serves over 1,500 customers. We did not verify these claims. The tool targets government agencies, financial institutions, and crypto businesses.
The CryptoAML.ai team wrote this comparison. Because we develop CryptoAML.ai, it is a vendor comparison, not an independent review. We ran no tests of the other tools. All facts about them came from public vendor pages on 6 October 2026.
Elliptic states 65+ blockchains, bridges and tokens on its homepage, the widest coverage. Scorechain states 25+ blockchains, and the CryptoAML.ai web tool recognizes 17 networks. AMLBot's blog states 35+ blockchains, while TRM Labs and Chainalysis provide no chain count on the pages we read. These figures are the vendors' own, and we did not verify them.
TRON is a supported network, and the TRC-20 USDT path is in the product inventory. The fields returned depend on what data is available for that network. Use the web checker to get one basic result from the free grant, or use @cryptoamlscan_bot on Telegram.
On 6 October 2026, the Chainalysis homepage showed no free tier and no price. Access begins with a demo request. Contact Chainalysis directly for terms.
