Compare Basic, Essential & Complete
Ethur's three packages layer criminal searches so you only pay for the depth each role needs. Every package runs on a pay-per-report basis — no subscriptions required — and every package can be extended with add-ons.

Why the layers matter
- National criminal search
- A broad database scan — fast, but not every jurisdiction reports into it
- County criminal search
- Direct searches of county courts, where most criminal cases are actually filed
- State criminal search
- A statewide repository search for records filed anywhere in that state
- Federal criminal search
- Federal district courts — crimes like fraud, embezzlement, and interstate offenses that never appear in county or state records
Which package for which role
- Basic — low-risk roles and quick pre-screens
- Essential — most hires; the most popular choice
- Complete — sensitive, regulated, financial, or senior roles
Identity verification is included in Essential and Complete. On Basic you can add it separately for $4.99 per check.
