Comparison

NormSuite Screening vs Zonos Screening

Zonos is a comprehensive cross-border ecommerce platform that includes denied party screening as part of its landed cost and compliance suite. It's designed for ecommerce businesses that need checkout integration, duty calculation, and compliance in one platform. NormSuite Denied Party Screening is a focused screening tool — fast, affordable, and purpose-built for checking names against OFAC SDN and BIS Entity lists. If you need a full ecommerce compliance suite, Zonos is comprehensive. If you need standalone sanctions screening, NormSuite is simpler and more affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Zonos include denied party screening?

Yes. Zonos includes denied party screening as part of its cross-border ecommerce compliance platform, alongside landed cost calculation, duty rates, and checkout integration. However, you need to subscribe to the full Zonos platform ($500+/month) to access screening. NormSuite offers standalone screening starting free.

Can I use NormSuite Screening without an ecommerce platform?

Yes. NormSuite Denied Party Screening is a standalone tool. You can screen any name against OFAC SDN and BIS Entity lists without needing an ecommerce integration. It works for any business type — manufacturers, logistics companies, financial services, or any U.S. company that needs sanctions compliance.

Which is cheaper for just screening?

NormSuite Denied Party Screening starts free (5 screens/day) with paid plans from $49/month. Zonos requires subscribing to their full platform at $500+/month. If you only need screening (not ecommerce compliance), NormSuite is significantly more affordable.
