Pricing comparison

CRIF does not publish pricing for its Swiss credit check products; access is quote-based and typically part of a larger enterprise engagement (as of March 2026).

SignalScore publishes every price: free tier with 3 checks, Starter CHF 49/month, Professional CHF 149/month, 20% off annually. No quotes, no procurement cycle.

What public reviews say

On Trustpilot, CRIF’s Swiss profile holds 2.3/5 — though across only 6 reviews (checked March 2026), so the sample is small. Complaints there concern data accuracy and unresponsive corrections.

SignalScore makes every data point traceable: each report cites its 12 public sources, so you can verify any factor yourself.
