EasyAML Alternative: FreeAML vs EasyAML (Australia 2026)

If you are comparing EasyAML reviews, pricing, and alternatives, the decision is usually subscription seats versus pay-as-you-go CDD. Here is the 2026 comparison for Tranche 2 firms.

Quick answer

If you want an EasyAML alternative without monthly subscription fees, FreeAML is the pay-as-you-go option: $20 KYC / $40 KYB, optional client-pays, built for Tranche 2 CDD. Choose EasyAML if your firm specifically needs subscription seats and SaaS workflows more than variable-cost pricing.

When FreeAML wins

  • Quiet months should not still cost hundreds of dollars in seats
  • You want clients to complete ID on their phone in about a minute
  • You may pass the verification cost through, or add a disclosed service fee
  • You are new to Tranche 2 and want the lowest-friction way to collect CDD evidence

When EasyAML may still fit

  • Procurement mandates a named SaaS vendor with seats
  • You have already standardised processes on EasyAML
  • You need a specific EasyAML workflow feature that FreeAML does not advertise

Cost sketch (10 KYC a month)

Illustrative only — verify current list prices before you decide.

  • FreeAML: 10 × $20 = $200, with no platform fee
  • EasyAML: a subscription plus per-check fees, which is often a higher total at low volume

Add KYB separately. At $40 per entity check, two company verifications add $80 on FreeAML. Live figures stay on /pricing.

Objection handling

Teams researching EasyAML often ask about pricing clarity, onboarding time, API access, and lock-in. FreeAML's counter is simple: no monthly fee, clear per-check prices, and fast remote checks. Validate features against your AML program, not against a marketing page. If you are also looking at enterprise tools, read First AML alternative.

How to trial the alternative

  1. Pick one live matter that needs CDD.
  2. Send the check from /aml-check.
  3. File the outcome next to your risk rating.
  4. Compare the invoice with your current seat plus per-check cost.
  5. Only then decide whether a subscription still earns its floor.
