The CompareAML directory groups providers into three pricing bands. The labels sound self-explanatory but the bundle definitions vary across vendors. Here's the working definition.
Self-serve (A$0–A$650/month)
You run AML on the platform. The vendor provides the software, the templates and email support. You provide the AMLCO time, the configuration choices and the operational decisions. Best for firms with internal capacity.
Mid-market (A$700–A$2,000/month)
The platform is configured for your firm during a structured onboarding (3–6 weeks). You get a dedicated CSM, SLAs, and reviewer/approver controls. Best for multi-office firms with a dedicated compliance lead.
Managed (A$650–A$2,500/month)
An outsourced AML officer runs the operational layer. You upload the customer; they run the CDD, draft the SMRs and own the AMLCO role. Best for firms without internal capacity or appetite for the work.
