Cheap AML software Australia: the monthly fee is the small number

People search “cheap AML software Australia” when a principal is comparing a low monthly subscription and has not multiplied the per-check line. Checked against AUSTRAC’s core guidance on the program on 4 October 2026. This is general information, not legal advice. This page does not reproduce that guidance. What the year of compliance can cost is on AML compliance cost in Australia. Who pays the check is on client-pays KYC. The sector map is /tranche-2.

Which number actually moves

A small firm judges cost by the figure in the corner of the website. That figure is often a monthly platform fee. Checks are priced somewhere else, per person or per company, and they scale with matters. A quiet month hides this.

A month of company work does not hide it. Do the arithmetic with published numbers only, then add the monthly fee last, because that fee is often the small number. If the vendor bills the firm, the firm feels the volume, and if the client pays, the firm’s invoice stays at the suite fee, which on FreeAML is A$0. This page will not invent a competitor’s dollar figure.

• Copy two lines, not one. Monthly fee and per-check fee. A page that shows only the first is unfinished.
• Separate person and company. A personal price reused for a trust understates the file.
• Write who pays. Client-pays and firm-billed are different even when the check price matches.
• Leave enrolment out of the software price. The program, the officer, and AUSTRAC enrolment are not a monthly add-on you can assume is included.

A note a principal can fill in

Use one month you actually expect, not a vendor’s sample firm. The point is to see which cell changes when you add a matter. The monthly cell often stays still.

Where the monthly-fee page stops

This page is the small monthly number. It is not a full cost model and it is not the client-pays explainer. Those are AML compliance cost in Australia and client-pays KYC. FreeAML does not set another firm’s subscription.

The firm suite is A$0. The client pays the published check.

What the client pays

On FreeAML the firm suite is A$0. The firm emails the client a link. Verification is client-pays. On the public list a personal KYC check is A$20 and a company or trust KYB check is A$40. Use KYB when the customer is a company or a trust. The firm suite does not include a monthly bundle of checks, and a low subscription elsewhere is not a credit here. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. FreeAML does not set another vendor’s price or tell you which subscription to buy.
