GoodHire is a Checkr-owned subsidiary and publishes the same per-check package prices: $29.99, $59.99 and $94.99. Checkr covers more products (workforce, tenant, mortgage, and personal), international checks, a REST API, and itemized add-on prices.

Pricing. Both publish identical package prices: Basic $29.99, Essential $59.99, and Complete $94.99 per check. Third-party fees are passed through at both; Checkr itemizes more add-on prices.
Capabilities. Both are FCRA compliant with SSN trace, criminal searches, sex offender registry, adverse action, and ATS integration. Checkr documents drug screening, MVR, and employment and education verification; GoodHire lists these as modules and documents individualized assessment.
Fit and support. GoodHire documents US-based support Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET. We could not confirm Checkr's support channels or hours. GoodHire cites 90 percent of nationwide criminal checks in under a minute (vendor claim); Checkr cites a 2 to 3 day average across screenings, so the measures are not comparable.
Certn has the highest LeadChange Score in Background Check Services after excluding these two (6.3/10).
Not on published package prices. Both publish the same per-check packages: Basic from $29.99, Essential from $59.99, and Complete from $94.99, with third-party court and database fees added. Checkr also publishes add-on prices such as MVR at $9.50 and identity verification at $4.99, which GoodHire does not itemize publicly.
Both list small business as a target segment and both publish prices. GoodHire stresses US-based support with stated hours and a dashboard across locations or clients. Checkr offers a free personal tier, monthly terms and a wider product range. For basic pre-employment checks the packages are priced the same.
GoodHire is a Checkr-owned subsidiary, but neither company documents a migration path or account transfer between them. Checkr states partner API integrations average about two weeks and new accounts are credentialed in under one business day. Ask both vendors about candidate history, templates, and ATS connector changes.
Breadth versus service framing. Checkr spans workforce, tenant, mortgage and personal screening, offers international checks, and provides a REST API with webhooks. GoodHire focuses on employment screening with 100+ options, integrated adverse action covering 180+ ban-the-box laws, and US-based support. Package prices are identical.
Yes. Checkr lists Greenhouse as a native integration among about 200, and GoodHire also lists Greenhouse as native. GoodHire's integrations page shows partner logos without naming them, so we could not confirm the connector; check with GoodHire before relying on it.
