Telegram Bot Pricing
The BlockchainAnalysis.io Telegram Bot (@AMLScreeningBot) uses a credit-based pricing model. Each screening consumes credits from your balance. Credits can be purchased in packages directly within Telegram via Stripe.
Credit Costs per Screening
| Screening Type | Credits | What You Get | |---|---|---| | Standard Screening | 1 credit | Risk score, entity match, basic counterparty summary, sanctions check | | Advanced Screening | 5 credits | Full report: risk factor breakdown, source-of-funds analysis, transaction timeline, counterparty details, mixer exposure, downloadable PDF |
