The short version
- Only Refact has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Fenergo implementations commonly run twelve to twenty-four months and depend on a systems integrator, so the services cost frequently exceeds the software subscription in year one.; Refact requires configuration for optimal performance
- They diverge on capability: Fenergo covers Regulatory rules library, Refact covers Autonomous agent workflows.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Fenergo
- Implementations commonly run twelve to twenty-four months and depend on a systems integrator, so the services cost frequently exceeds the software subscription in year one.
- It orchestrates screening but does not supply the sanctions, PEP or adverse media data, so you still buy Dow Jones, LexisNexis or World-Check separately and those fees are per screened entity.
- The entry price is set for institutions with large onboarding volumes, which puts it out of reach of smaller banks and fintechs that would otherwise benefit from the rules library.
- Configuration is deep and specific, which makes upgrades between major versions a project rather than a patch, and some customers stay on old releases for years.
- The rules library covers regulatory requirements, not your internal risk appetite, so the policy tuning that determines whether onboarding actually gets faster remains your work.
Refact
- Requires configuration for optimal performance
- On-premise deployment adds operational complexity
- Free tier limited by daily agent request quota
- Coin system adds complexity to cost calculation
