What's different
Why compliance teams are switching
from legacy tools
Same screening. No enterprise contract. No 6-month implementation.
Side by side
ITAR Screen vs. Traditional Enterprise Software
Enterprise software comparisons are generalizations based on publicly available information. Individual configurations vary.
Fit
Who this is for — and who it isn't
ITAR Screen is built for
- SMB defense contractors needing a documented classification paper trail
- Export compliance teams at growth-stage companies without a full-time trade compliance department
- In-house counsel who need structured USML citations before engaging outside counsel
- Startups entering USML-adjacent markets who need to understand their regulatory exposure fast
- Companies that need denied-party screening without a full trade management platform
ITAR Screen is probably not the right fit if you need
- Full ERP integration (SAP GTS, Oracle GTM) for trade document generation and customs workflow
- A platform that manages the entire export transaction lifecycle — not just classification and screening
- A dedicated trade compliance department workflow tool with multi-user approval chains
- High-volume entity screening (millions of transactions per year) at enterprise SLA levels
Pricing reality check
What enterprise compliance actually costs
A typical Descartes Visual Compliance customer screening 50,000 entities pays around $20,000/year. ITAR Screen's Pro plan at $499/month ($5,988/year) covers 2,500 classifications plus denied-party screening — for teams where ITAR classification is the bottleneck, not entity volume.
To be direct about the trade-off: if your primary need is high-volume entity screening at 50,000+ per month, or if you need deep ERP workflow integration, a full enterprise platform may be the right call. ITAR Screen is optimized for teams where classification accuracy and auditability are the bottleneck — not raw screening throughput.
For teams that need both: some customers use ITAR Screen for product classification and a lighter-weight screening tool for entity screening. Contact us at custom@itarscreen.com if you want to talk through what makes sense for your volume.
