The report card
Best for screening for firms of all sizes, sold through sales
Accurate offers criminal, credit, driving, drug, identity and sanctions checks plus I-9 and E-Verify, with an API and a client ordering platform. The site publishes no price, its pricing path returns a 404, and buying goes through Contact Sales.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | The site publishes no price and the pricing path returns a 404, so there is no figure to set against this category's $95 middle price. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial on the pages we read. |
| Features | B | Criminal and sanctions searches, verifications, identity, drug, health and driving, I-9 and monitoring. The listing shows no gap in the core work of screening. |
| Ease of use | C | Bought through sales, then wired into your HR systems via the client platform or API. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with a background check API, a candidate portal, a client ordering platform and integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Accurate is for
- Fits if you screen across several countries and want one vendor for most check types
- Works for HR teams that want an API link into their own system
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price on the page, because none is published
- Not for you if you want self-serve sign-up, as buying goes through Contact Sales
- Skip it if you hire only a few people a year, as the vendor pitches multinational programs
- Watch out: the pricing link on the site returns a 404, and no free plan or trial is shown

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Accurate you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and employee records: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Accurate’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
