What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Sumsub holds a commanding lead in AI visibility for anti-money laundering software, scoring 25.0% on both visibility and citation — more than double the next closest brand by composite score (20.0 for ComplyAdvantage) and nearly seven times the category average visibility of 3.8%. This gap is significant because the majority of the 20 brands audited score 0.0% on both metrics, meaning AI Mode is concentrating its recommendations into a very small cluster of names, amplifying the competitive disadvantage for brands outside that cluster.
A notable divergence exists between being named and being cited. Sanction Scanner and Feedzai each appear in 12.5% of AI responses but receive zero citations, suggesting AI Mode mentions them without anchoring to their own domains as sources. Conversely, Quantexa achieves a 25.0% citation rate despite 0.0% visibility, meaning its content is being used as a reference source without the brand itself being surfaced as a recommended solution. ComplyAdvantage occupies the most favourable position, with citations (37.5%) outpacing its own visibility (12.5%).
Google AI Mode is the top engine for every brand in this audit, indicating the data is entirely Google-sourced with no cross-engine comparison possible here. The top cited sources in the category are dominated by third-party and niche compliance-adjacent domains — binderr.com, vouched.id, azakaw.com, idenfy.com, ondato.com — alongside gartner.com and complyadvantage.com itself. This pattern suggests AI Mode is anchoring on independent review and adjacent identity-verification content rather than brand-owned pages when constructing AML software responses.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
