ScreenMe review
A free applicant-paid workflow with detailed screening reports and a $45 residential tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ScreenMe is CreditLink’s web-based tenant-screening service for landlords and property managers. It lets applicants complete screening online while landlords receive information intended to support leasing decisions. Reports can include a VantageScore 4.0 score, full credit history, national criminal and eviction records, SSN tracing, address and employment verification, and public-record details such as civil judgments, bankruptcies, and collections. National sex-offender registry searches are also included among the listed capabilities.
Pricing is structured around three plans. Screening with ScreenMe costs $0 per user per month, with tenants screening and paying for themselves. The plan includes credit, criminal, eviction, SSN, address, and employment checks. Residential Screening costs $45 per user per month and includes the same core report categories. Commercial Screening costs $100 per user per month and focuses on company-owner verification, date established, quarterly history, credit standing, and public-record information. The published plans give smaller landlords a free entry point, while paid tiers add a direct property-side screening option or commercial checks.
ScreenMe fits teams that want a focused online screening workflow with broad report coverage and a TransUnion connection. CreditLink states that screening data is sourced from TransUnion and that its services follow FCRA requirements; the feature list also includes adverse-action documentation. The tradeoff is platform scope: ScreenMe is web-only, and the listed integration is TransUnion, while the broader CreditLink platform covers digital leasing, rent collection, and maintenance management. Choose ScreenMe when applicant-paid screening or detailed residential checks match your process. Consider another option if you need a wider integration ecosystem, a lower paid residential price, or a more extensive property-management platform in the same product.
