No status page, changelog, SDK, service agreement or subprocessor list was found in public, and access starts with a paid plan bought by a person.\n\n**Socure RiskOS.** A public OpenAPI file, llms.txt, 15 documented error codes and dated release notes cover a ten-operation REST API, and Socure Launch publishes prices from $0.80 an evaluation with a free sandbox. API keys carry no scopes, no idempotency header is defined, no service terms are published, and production stays at zero requests until Socure activates it.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ComplyAdvantage\n\n1. Exchange the access key and secret at `POST /v3/token` for a bearer token. It lasts 24 hours and can't be refreshed, so request a new one before expiry\n2. Ask for a credential with only the permissions the task needs. Permissions can't be edited later, and each reference page names the ones a call requires\n3. Create a screening configuration first and keep its `configuration_identifier`. Creating and screening a customer needs it\n4. Give each customer a unique external identifier. A concurrent request for the same identifier returns 409 with a pointer to the first workflow\n5. Read `Ratelimit-Remaining` and `Ratelimit-Reset` on every response. A 429 body is only `API rate limit exceeded`\n\n### Socure RiskOS\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e` to `https://riskos.sandbox.socure.com/api/evaluation` for tests and `https://riskos.socure.com/api/evaluation` for live checks. The two environments use separate keys.\n2. Use dummy data only in the sandbox. It returns predefined results, connects to no live data source and expects the documented test values.\n3. Store the `eval_id` from every `POST /api/evaluation` response. No list or search endpoint exists to find it later.\n4. On 429 wait the seconds given in `X-Retry-After`. Do not blindly resend a failed `POST /api/evaluation`, because no idempotency header is documented and Launch bills each initiated evaluation.\n5. The MCP server at `https://mcp.riskos.socure.com/sandbox` reads docs, workflows and webhooks with its own MCP Server Key. It cannot run evaluations or read results.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ComplyAdvantage or Socure RiskOS?\n\nSocure RiskOS scores 63.5 (B) on agent readiness against ComplyAdvantage's 52.6 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. ComplyAdvantage leads on agent ergonomics and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do ComplyAdvantage and Socure RiskOS need an API key?\n\nComplyAdvantage uses an OAuth sign-in. Socure RiskOS needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call ComplyAdvantage and Socure RiskOS without installing anything?\n\nYes. ComplyAdvantage has a hosted endpoint at https://api.mesh.complyadvantage.com and Socure RiskOS at https://mcp.riskos.socure.com/sandbox.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/complyadvantage-vs-socure-riskos.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/complyadvantage-vs-socure-riskos.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"complyadvantage\", \"b\": \"socure-riskos\"}`.
