ComplyReady vs EasyAML: An Honest Side-by-Side (2026)

ComplyReady and EasyAML are two of the most-shortlisted AML/CTF compliance platforms for Australian Tranche 2 businesses. We built ComplyReady, so we are not impartial — but we have written this comparison to help you make a decision rather than to win one. Where EasyAML is the better choice, we say so.

If you are choosing between us and them, the short version is:

• Choose EasyAML if you have multiple users, established team workflows, and budget room above $150/month.
• Choose ComplyReady if you are a sole practitioner or small firm under 5 staff, you want to be live in under a day, and you are price-sensitive.

The longer version is below.

Pricing

| | ComplyReady | EasyAML | |---|---|---| | Monthly price | $99/month | ~$179/month | | Annual cost | $1,188 | ~$2,148 | | Setup fee | None | None published | | Minimum term | None | None published | | Free tier | Free risk assessment | "Get Started Free" trial |

The $80/month gap matters most for small firms. For a sole practitioner or two-person practice, ComplyReady saves around $960/year — roughly the cost of an extra month of professional indemnity insurance. For a 10-person firm where AML/CTF is everyone's responsibility, the per-seat cost gap closes and pricing becomes less decisive.

EasyAML's pricing is not always published transparently — we have used the figure most commonly cited in their public materials. Confirm directly with them before deciding.

Sector fit

Both platforms target the same Tranche 2 sectors: real estate, accounting, legal, and conveyancing. Both ship with sector-aware risk frameworks and configurable workflows. Neither has a meaningful edge here at the marketing level.

In practice, the difference is in how each platform configures the program for your sector:

• ComplyReady generates a tailored Part A and Part B program based on the designated services you select, your customer types, and your delivery channels. The output is industry-specific — a real estate agency does not see accounting-flavoured policy text and vice versa.
• EasyAML offers similar sector configuration but tends to use a more general framework that you adjust during onboarding.

Neither approach is wrong. ComplyReady's design assumption is that you want fewer choices to make; EasyAML's is that you want more flexibility upfront.

Feature parity

The core feature set is similar across both platforms — risk assessment, program builder, CDD workflows, training, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping. We focused on the differences that come up most in conversations with prospective customers.

| Feature | ComplyReady | EasyAML | |---|---|---| | AI-guided risk assessment | Yes | Manual / wizard-based | | Auto-generated Part A + Part B | Yes (single click) | Yes (manual review) | | Identity verification (eIV) | Built-in | Built-in | | PEP and sanctions screening | Built-in | Built-in | | Beneficial ownership tracking | Built-in | Built-in | | Suspicious matter report (SMR) workflow | Yes | Yes | | Threshold transaction report (TTR) workflow | Yes | Yes | | Staff training modules | Built-in, tracked | Built-in, tracked | | Document storage (7-year retention) | Yes | Yes | | Multi-tenant for accounting groups | On request | Yes | | Public API | Roadmap | Available | | White-label for partners | Roadmap | Available |

If you are a single practice running your own compliance, the parity is essentially complete. If you are an accounting group or franchise wanting to white-label compliance to your member firms, EasyAML has shipped that capability for longer.

Onboarding speed

Time-to-first-program is one of the most under-discussed factors when buying compliance software. The platform you pick is no use to you in three months — Tranche 2 enrolment closes 29 July 2026.

• ComplyReady: Most sole practitioners complete the readiness check, generate their Part A + B program, and have it ready for review in under a day. Mid-size firms typically complete onboarding in 2-3 days.
• EasyAML: Onboarding typically takes 1-2 weeks for sole practitioners and 2-4 weeks for mid-size firms, with more touchpoints with their support team during setup.

Faster onboarding is not always better — EasyAML's longer process produces a program that has been more thoroughly worked through with their team. If you want hand-holding, that is the trade-off worth making.

Australian support

Both teams are Australian-based. Both publish support hours in AEST/AEDT. Neither outsources support overseas.

EasyAML has a longer trading history and a larger support team. ComplyReady is newer and our support is more direct — you are usually emailing the people who built the product.

Where EasyAML is genuinely the better choice

We would steer you to EasyAML over ComplyReady in these situations:

1. You are a multi-firm accounting group or franchise wanting to white-label — EasyAML's partner platform is more mature.
2. You need a public API to integrate AML/CTF data into a third-party CRM today — EasyAML has this; we are still working on ours.
3. You are a 20+ person firm where the price difference is rounding error and you value the longer EasyAML support history.

Where ComplyReady is the better choice

We would back ourselves over EasyAML in these situations:

1. You are a sole practitioner or small firm where every dollar matters — saving $960/year is real money.
2. You want to be operationally compliant in days, not weeks — our onboarding is faster.
3. You want AI-generated risk assessment and program output, with the option to refine — rather than working through a manual wizard.
4. You like buying from the people who built the product — our team is small and direct.

How to decide in 10 minutes

1. Run our free readiness check — 8 minutes, no credit card. You will see what your AML/CTF program would look like with ComplyReady. If you like it, you are 80% of the way there.
2. Sign up for EasyAML's free trial — see how their workflow feels.
3. Compare the actual outputs, not the marketing pages. Both will give you a Part A + Part B program — judge which one you would be comfortable handing to AUSTRAC.

The wrong decision is to spend three months evaluating. Tranche 2 enrolment closes 29 July 2026, and AUSTRAC expects an operational program — not a freshly-bought subscription — when assessment time comes.
