> The main fork is **where your people are**. US-centric providers are cheap and fast but thin abroad; global providers cost more per check but actually return results from 100+ countries. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Certn** - my default pick for genuinely distributed teams. Built around international hiring from the start, coverage across ~195 countries, and the lowest entry pricing I found (~$13.99 for a US core criminal check). Includes 3-step identity verification with biometric facial recognition, which matters a lot when you never meet the hire in person. ([certn.co](https://certn.co/us/blog/certn-vs-checkr/))
> 
> **2. Checkr** - the right answer if your remote team is mostly US-based. Best-in-class API and ATS integrations, fast turnaround, strong built-in FCRA compliance workflows (adverse action letters, etc.). Entry pricing ~$29.99/check. Its international coverage is the weak spot - it was retrofitted, not designed in. Notably, Checkr shipped **Checkr IDV** in early 2026: biometric liveness and document analysis (via Socure) plus device intelligence, specifically to catch deepfakes and fake IDs.
