Complipath vs ActComply: how do they compare on the EU AI Act?

Each ActComply cell is a sentence from their own site, in their words and not ours, with the page it stood on; each Complipath cell is our own page or our status table. Complipath (complipath.io) is EU AI Act compliance software that classifies each AI system with the article behind the answer.

What you get that ActComply does not state · 15 of 50 · their site was read on 26 October 2026

  • Systems you build and systems you buy
  • A named owner per system
  • High-risk check against Annex III
  • The Article 6(3) exemption
  • Deadlines per obligation
  • AI literacy (Article 4)

What ActComply states that Complipath does not have live · 5 of 50 · their site was read on 26 October 2026

  • Obligations listed per system (Complipath: with limits)
  • Post-market monitoring (Article 72)
  • An API (Complipath: with limits)
  • Integrations with work tools

Price. ActComply's own page, read on 26 October 2026, says "€49/mo"; Complipath Starter at €499 a month or €4,990 a year, with the first system free. Prices exclude VAT.

Where each sits on price

ActComply is among the checkers and templates. Its price, in its own words: €49/mo getactcomply.com. Complipath is €499 a month or €4,990 a year, up to 20 AI systems. Prices exclude VAT.

Complipath costs more than simple AI Act checkers because it also answers your customers' questionnaires with the source of every answer, builds the audit pack and keeps the evidence. Enterprise governance platforms mostly publish no price; the one we could read, Vanta on AWS Marketplace, lists $14,000.00 for 12 months of its Essentials package, against Complipath's €4,990 a year. The three tiers, side by side.

Choose Complipath if

Rule engine
  • You use AI from other vendors and need each system classified, with the article it rests on.
  • You need the same answer every time. Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms.
  • You want proof linked to each duty: the file and the page it stands on.

Choose ActComply if

In their words
  • What they put first is what you need:
    “ActComply assesses your AI systems against the EU AI Act, generates the documentation regulators ask for, and keeps you current as obligations phase in to 2 December 2027.” In their words and not ours.

Live. Every AI system you build or use, with its owner and risk class. The status table: what Complipath is.

A register of AI systems · ActComply
“Tell us what your AI does, who it affects, and what sector it operates in. Takes under 5 minutes per system.”ActComply, in their words and not ours. It was read on 26 October 2026 from getactcomply.com. Step 01 'Describe your AI systems'; plans count 'AI systems assessed'. A register as such (list, owners, status) is not described.
[3]
Systems you build and systems you buy · Complipath

Live. Every AI system you build or use, with its owner and risk class. The status table: what Complipath is.

[4]
A named owner per system · Complipath

Live. A person behind every system and every duty. The status table: what Complipath is.

[5]
Automatic discovery of AI in use · Complipath

Partly. A read-only GitHub or GitLab connection finds AI libraries, calls to AI services and AI key names in the repositories you choose and suggests them for the register, where a person adds them; the free readiness review suggests systems from your public web pages. Source.

[6]
AI used by your suppliers · Complipath

With limits. Groups your systems by vendor and shows which papers you hold from each, which are missing and which have expired; for the AI vendors it knows it links the public terms and, where known, the data processing agreement; it quotes a sentence on personal data or training where one was found, with its link and the day read; each quoted page is read again once a month, and a sentence no longer on its page stops showing. The status table: what Complipath is.

[7]
EU AI Act risk classification · Complipath

Live. Answers go through rules in code, never a language model, so the same answers always give the same result. Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms. The status table: what Complipath is.

[8]
EU AI Act risk classification · ActComply
“Our engine classifies each system under the EU AI Act (Prohibited, High-Risk, Limited Risk, or Minimal Risk) with exact article references.”ActComply, in their words and not ours. It was read on 26 October 2026 from getactcomply.com. Step 02 'Get instant risk classification'; how the engine decides is not said here (see f05: the terms call the assessments AI-generated).
[9]
Prohibited practices (Article 5) · Complipath

Partly. Article 5(1), points (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) are decided. Points (a), (b) and (c) turn on judgement and are flagged for legal review instead of being decided. Source.

[10]
Prohibited practices (Article 5) · ActComply
“Our engine classifies each system under the EU AI Act (Prohibited, High-Risk, Limited Risk, or Minimal Risk) with exact article references.”ActComply, in their words and not ours. It was read on 26 October 2026 from getactcomply.com. Prohibited is one of the four outcomes; a screening against each Article 5 practice is not described.
[11]
High-risk check against Annex III · Complipath

Yes. A use case that appears in Annex III is high-risk under Article 6(2) unless the Article 6(3) exemption applies. Source.

[12]
The Article 6(3) exemption · Complipath

Yes. If the use case appears in Annex III, Article 6(2) classifies it high-risk unless the Article 6(3) exemption applies, and profiling of natural persons blocks the exemption entirely. Source.

[13]
Provider or deployer role · Complipath

Partly. Which obligations follow from the role you stated is decided. Whether you are the provider or the deployer is asked, never inferred. Source.

[14]
Provider or deployer role · ActComply
“Article 11 technical documentation, an Article 9 risk management plan, Article 50 transparency measures, and a clear provider versus deployer mapping.”ActComply, in their words and not ours. It was read on 26 October 2026 from getactcomply.com. Part of the 'Compliance Build' service, work done by a person ('I build'); a provider/deployer feature in the self-serve platform is not stated.
[15]
Obligations listed per system · Complipath

With limits. Confirming a classification creates the requirements that follow from it, each with a status, a place for evidence and an owner you fill in: for high risk, the set for the system's role (provider, deployer or both, from its recorded type or confirmed role), and a row for each Article 50 transparency duty. The rows are made at a system's first confirmation; when a later high-risk classification, a role change or a newer catalogue leaves high-risk rows missing, Review proposes them and a person adds them. The status table: what Complipath is.

[16]
Obligations listed per system · ActComply

What they put first · ActComply
“ActComply assesses your AI systems against the EU AI Act, generates the documentation regulators ask for, and keeps you current as obligations phase in to 2 December 2027.”ActComply, in their words and not ours. It was read on 9 October 2026 from getactcomply.com.

The 7 pages of ActComply's site we read, on 26 October 2026:

Try both on the same system.Complipath's first system is free. Compare the answer you get with ActComply's.

Questions

Is this comparison neutral?

It is written by Complipath, so read it as ours. What keeps it checkable is the rule on both sides: each ActComply cell is their own sentence with the page it stood on, and each Complipath cell is what our own pages say. Where a side's pages say nothing, the cell says so.

What does "Not stated on the pages we read" mean?

That none of the 7 pages of ActComply's site we read on 26 October 2026 said it. It is a statement about those pages, listed below, not about the product: ask ActComply before you rule anything out.

Which one should we choose?

Start from the rows you need. Where ActComply's own site states a requirement our pages mark as not supported, they are the closer fit on that row by what each side says publicly. For a European company that wants each classification with its article and the version of the law it used, at a public price, start with Complipath's free check.
