What each actually checks
BrokerSnapshot's own numbers (8 September 2026): 4.60M+ companies tracked, 158.72M Secretary of State records, 369K+ active carriers, 96.40M inspections on file, updated daily. It layers an AI-generated summary and "action plan" on top of that data, plus entity/alias detection meant to surface a carrier reopening under a new name.
CarrierScrub reads FMCSA's own operating-authority and insurance filings nightly and applies fixed, published rules -- no AI generation step, no proprietary score. Its equivalent to BrokerSnapshot's alias detection is narrower but concrete: a check for a new USDOT number registered shortly after a revocation was served on a different-named carrier at the same phone number, stated as a fact with the dates, never as an accusation. See the full verdict rules.
What CarrierScrub doesn't have yet
- FMCSA safety scores, inspection history and out-of-service orders -- BrokerSnapshot benchmarks these against industry averages; CarrierScrub marks the section PENDING.
- Secretary of State entity records and alias/related-company detection across all 50 states -- a real BrokerSnapshot strength CarrierScrub doesn't have.
- Phone, name and address contact validation. CarrierScrub's own related-entity signal (same phone number, different name, registered shortly after a revocation) is a narrower, FMCSA-sourced version of the same idea, not a full contact-validation product.
- An AI-generated summary or action plan. CarrierScrub deliberately doesn't generate one -- see the FAQ on why.
Who each is actually built for
BrokerSnapshot is built for teams that want AI-assisted breadth -- safety benchmarking, entity history, contact validation -- and are ready to pay $100/mo and up for it. CarrierScrub is built for the specific moment before you tender a load: a free, fixed-rule check you can run without an account, with the reasons stated as facts you can verify against FMCSA yourself rather than a generated summary you have to trust.
