Questions, answered.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Checktiv is pay-as-you-go — any positive wallet balance works. Subscriptions are an optional way to fund your wallet (plus premium features); you can run on top-ups alone.
Is the free trial really no credit card?
Yes. Every account opens with $5 of wallet credit for 14 days — no card, no sales call. Spend it on real verifications.
What happens to unused credit?
Top-up credit rolls over for 12 months. Subscription grant credit is use-it-or-lose-it within its cycle, so size your plan to your real monthly volume.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel whenever you like — any wallet balance you already have stays usable. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees.
Will I get a surprise bill?
No. The wallet is prepaid and can never go negative. You only ever spend credit you already funded — there is no metered arrears invoice.
How much does each check cost?
Per-check, starting at $0.50. A full guest screen — ID, background, and watchlist — runs about $3.75. See the full list above.
Monthly or annual — what is the difference?
Both fund your wallet with credit. Annual is billed once up front and saves you 15%, dropping a full year of credit on day one. Monthly spreads the same idea across each cycle.
A plan or a top-up — which should I pick?
A plan if your volume is steady and you want premium features and a discount; top-ups if your volume is spiky or you just want to pay as you go. Many customers do both.
