  sanctions.io is priced on screening volume. Onboarding is self-serve - a
  7-day free trial (no credit card) issues a working API key with access to
  all API features. Published volume packages have included Small (5,000 API
  calls/screenings for $899), Medium (50,000 for $2,999), and Large (200,000
  for $5,999); packages renew automatically after twelve months or once the
  included API calls are consumed, whichever comes first. Custom Enterprise
  plans start at 25,000+ monthly screenings. Current pricing is quoted through
  the pricing calculator on the website (5,000 to 250,000+ screenings per
  year, 1-3 year terms, monthly credit card or annual invoicing), with
  watchlist scope (sanctions, PEP, adverse media, high-risk jurisdictions,
  custom lists) and monitoring frequency as configuration dimensions. The
  vendor states there are no hidden implementation fees.
notes: >-
  The tiered package numbers ($899 / $2,999 / $5,999) come from the
  sanctions.io help center pricing article; the website now funnels buyers
  through the pricing calculator for a custom proposal, so verify current
  rates there during reconciliation. The database exporter endpoint requires a
  specific plan subscription.
