How does SlowMist's MistTrack differ from a pre-payment address-screening tool, and which should I use?
They solve different problems. MistTrack is SlowMist's on-chain tracking and AML platform, strongest at investigation: address labels, transaction graphs, fund tracing and risk scores, suited to security teams, exchanges and investigators following money after the fact. It is a monthly subscription with several tiers (see its site for current pricing), and it also offers a free Telegram bot and a free wallet check. Pre-payment screening answers a different question: should this payment go out now? OceanAlt's decision API returns allow / review / decline with itemised sources before payment, free and without signup, built to sit inside a payment flow or be called automatically by an AI agent. To trace where funds went, use a tracking platform; to gate every payment automatically, use pre-payment screening. They work together.
Choosing by scenario
Tracing funds after a theft or scam, or giving leads to police or an exchange: a tracking platform. Many payments a day and you want each one gated automatically: pre-payment screening. Checking an address now and then: both free entry points work; OceanAlt's results carry itemised sources you can verify yourself.
Note: our description of MistTrack comes from its public materials; see its site for current features and pricing. OceanAlt has no partnership with or affiliation to SlowMist.
