Not in this table: identity-verification and onboarding platforms such as Highway and MyCarrierPackets do a different job — confirming who you're talking to and collecting carrier packets, typically quote-priced. We don't verify identity, so we don't compare against them. Many brokers use one of those and a record-monitoring service.

How to read this honestly

Carrier Archive reads the public federal datasets listed on our data-sources notes; other services may use additional sources and provide different things. What Carrier Archive keeps and proves: it archives every daily snapshot, writes an alert ledger at send time, and generates dated verification records from the archive — so what you checked, and when, stays documented. Lookups are free because the federal record should be free to read. Monitoring is what we charge for. Our own measured numbers, with their confidence interval and limitations, are on the methodology page.
