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

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 Credo AI 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 18 pages of Credo AI's site we read on 9 October 2026 said it. It is a statement about those pages, listed below, not about the product: ask Credo AI before you rule anything out.

Which one should we choose?

Start from the rows you need. Where Credo AI'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.
