AML Telegram bots, compared
Five bots that check a wallet address in chat: what each gives away free, what the result actually says, and how you pay for more.
The short answer
Facts checked August 2026An AML Telegram bot takes a wallet address in a chat and answers with a risk verdict — no website, no login. That is the minute between a P2P counterparty sending an address and you deciding whether to accept the money. Five are worth comparing: Sanctuary, AMLBot, MistTrack, Scorechain and BestAML. On free volume the answer is short: Sanctuary's bot runs 3 checks a day with no signup, AMLBot gives 1 on registration, MistTrack and Scorechain give one check each, and BestAML is free without registration but the verdict is basic.
After the free checks, the bots separate on what the answer contains. A colour band tells you to worry; a 0-100 verdict with named sources tells you what to do — and gives you something to show a partner, a bank, or the customer whose payout you held.
- Sanctuary: 3 free checks every day, no signup, no card — the only daily allowance of the five.
- AMLBot's free check is one-off at signup; MistTrack and Scorechain give one each; BestAML is free but basic.
- Sanctuary's bot runs on buttons — paste an address, press a button. Nothing to memorise.

What separates one bot from another
Buttons, not commands
Nothing to memorise: paste an address, press a button, read the answer. Slash commands are how a bot loses the person who checks three wallets a week.
What the answer contains
A 0-100 verdict with the sources named — sanctions listings, darknet clusters, exchange attribution — so you can weigh the evidence instead of trusting a colour.
Paying without a card
Top up in TRX when three a day stops being enough. No card, no invoice, no procurement — the route P2P desks already use for everything else.
Frequently asked questions
Which AML Telegram bot is free?
Sanctuary's is free every day: 3 checks in Telegram, no signup and no card. The others are free once — AMLBot gives 1 check on registration, MistTrack gives the first check, Scorechain gives one wallet check. BestAML is free without registration, but the verdict it returns is basic.
Is it safe to paste an address into a bot?
A wallet address is public data. It is already in every block explorer, so sending one to a bot reveals nothing that wasn't public already. What no bot ever needs is your seed phrase, private key or exchange password — any bot asking for those is a scam, and no legitimate screening service will ever ask. Sanctuary's bot needs the address and nothing else.
How accurate is a bot check?
A check reads 20+ intelligence sources across 12 chains — sanctions listings, darknet and ransomware clusters, exchange attribution, reported fraud — and the result names what was found and where, so you can weigh the evidence yourself instead of trusting a number. What no screening tool can see is intent: it tells you what an address is connected to, not who is behind it. That is why the verdict travels with its sources.
What do you get on a paid plan?
The free bot answers today's question. Paid plans add what a desk needs the day after: monitoring that alerts you when a watched address moves or gets flagged, bulk screening, PDF reports for a bank or a partner, an API key, team roles, and an audit trail of who decided what. Sanctuary is $199 a month for 1,000 checks, $499 for 5,000.
