A side-by-side comparison guide for institutional investors, crypto exchanges, and compliance teams evaluating alternatives to Chainalysis Reactor / KYT. ChainAnalyzer is a Japan-built crypto AML SaaS (refinancier, inc.) covering 12 chains live on every plan with a native Japanese UI, Azure Japan East hosting, published pricing from $19.99/month Pro, Reactor-equivalent investigation features, and IMOZURU — an agent that runs the investigation itself.

Chain counts and capabilities are compiled from each vendor's public materials. Where a product does not publish pricing we do not state a figure for it; "—" means we could not confirm public information for that row, not that the capability is absent.
ChainAnalyzer is the only platform that answers ✅ to all eight today.
Because the numbers are public you can size the budget before talking to anyone. Full plan breakdown in the table below and on the pricing page.
For teams migrating from Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM Labs, we offer historical watchlist / case import (CSV / API) and white-glove onboarding on Enterprise. Contact us to discuss.
Most teams searching for a "Chainalysis Reactor alternative" do not actually want a feature-for-feature clone — they want the investigation finished. Reactor is a tool an analyst drives, pivoting by hand to follow the money. IMOZURU does that work itself: give it one address or transaction and it expands the trail step by step, deciding at each point whether to keep going, then produces a regulator-grade report and an investigation case.
So the comparison to make is not "does it have the same screens as Reactor" but "how much analyst time does it give back". IMOZURU is available on the Business plan and above.
IMOZURU documentation — how to run it and how to read the output
We have filed four patent applications covering insider-trading detection via pre-disclosure window analysis, the ML decision gate, and cross-chain fund tracing / common-operator inference. All four were filed in July–August 2026 and are pending examination.
If you searched "chainalysis reactor price" or "chainalysis reactor pricing" and came up empty, the reason is simple: Chainalysis does not publish a price list, so figures are quoted on request. We are not in a position to know what any other vendor charges, so we do not state a Reactor price here — we would only be guessing. What we can do is publish ours.
| Plan | Per month | Scans / month | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10 | All 12 chains. Evaluation tier |
| Starter | $4.99 | 200 | ML analysis, batch of 10 per run |
| Pro | $19.99 | 1,000 | AI Analysis, Follow Mode (2-hop), Case Management, REST API, webhooks |
| Business | $199.99 | 3,000 | Follow Mode (3-hop), IMOZURU autonomous investigation, higher rate limits |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Unlimited | SLA / SSO / STR support pack / dedicated support |
Plan-by-feature detail lives on the in-app pricing page — see /pricing for the current terms.
Note: this page states no contract figures for other vendors. For actual Chainalysis / Elliptic / TRM Labs costs, request a quote directly from them.
Rather than claiming a vague "equivalent", here is the specific ChainAnalyzer feature that maps to each headline Reactor capability.
| Chainalysis Reactor feature | ChainAnalyzer equivalent |
|---|---|
| Pivot (address/entity pivoting) | Follow Mode — Neo4j BFS, 1-3 hop auto-expansion |
| Storyline (storyboarding an investigation) | Case Management + Fund Flow Diagram (multi-address bundle + unified PDF) |
| Transaction flow / flow visualization | Neo4j graph + Fund Flow Diagram (matplotlib PNG) |
| Categories / entity labels | Known Entities Registry + ScamDB + OFAC SDN matching |
| Exposure (direct / indirect) | Exposure Analyzer — multi-hop Neo4j proximity analysis |
| Alerts / KYT (continuous monitoring) | Watchlist + email / webhook alerts |
| Sanctions screening | OFAC SDN / UN / EU / JFSA screening |
| Case management | Case Management (investigation cases + unified PDF report) |
| The whole investigation loop an analyst assembles by pivoting repeatedly | IMOZURU — runs autonomously from a single input and produces the report and the case (Business and above) |
Yes. Teams usually start by running both in parallel. You can import existing watchlists and investigation cases via CSV / REST API and reconcile detections side by side before cutting over. White-glove onboarding is available on Enterprise.
Monitored addresses and cases import in bulk via CSV / API. Past investigation records are preserved as PDF exports, and because on-chain data lives on public ledgers it can always be re-derived — there is no vendor lock-in.
You can self-serve signup and start the same day. A typical path is a 2–4 week parallel run to confirm detection parity, then cut over — no sales contract or vendor audit required first.
Chainalysis does not publish a price list; pricing is provided through a sales quote. We are not in a position to know what other vendors charge, so we do not publish a guessed figure. On our side the pricing is public: Free $0, Starter $4.99, Pro $19.99, Business $199.99 per month, and a custom quote for Enterprise. Compare total cost once you hold a quote and can map it to your seats, scan volume, and required features.
For a like-for-like investigation tool, Follow Mode (Neo4j BFS, 1-3 hop expansion) plus Case Management and Fund Flow Diagram covers what Reactor's pivot and storyline workflows are used for. Beyond that, ChainAnalyzer ships IMOZURU, which runs the investigation autonomously from a single input and produces a regulator-grade report and a case (Business and above).
Yes. Watchlist provides continuous address and token monitoring, combined with email / webhook alerts and the REST API. Sanctions screening covers OFAC SDN, UN, EU, and JFSA lists, and every detection runs through both the 76+ rule set and the ML ensemble. Webhooks: 3 on Pro, 5 on Business, custom on Enterprise.
Six practical axes: chain coverage, hosting region and data residency, UI language, whether continuous monitoring and investigation live in one product, automation surface (API / MCP / webhooks), and whether pricing is published at all. Our blockchain AML comparison guide, linked in the related pages below, lays these out side by side.
Globally, Elliptic and TRM Labs are the usual comparison set. In the Japanese market the shortlist criteria often add domestic hosting (Azure Japan East), a native Japanese UI, FISC security-standard alignment, and coverage of yen stablecoins (JPYC / JPYSC) — which is where ChainAnalyzer tends to be selected.
