I need a good tenant screening service...

Okay, so I'm taking applications on my rental and at first I thought I was going to use SmartMove for my tenant screening services because the price is right and it seemed easy.  That changed for me after the first one.  While the price for a credit and background check is reasonable, SmartMove requires the applicant to respond to a link sent to them via email authorizing the check to be done.  I had the signed application in my hand when I purchased the report.  This resulted in the check not being completed until 3 days later when the applicant finally went in to check their email.  I don't like this process.

Can anyone suggest a service that is $35 or less.  I've charged the applicants $35 and I think that's high enough.  Some of my applicants are low income and many get taken advantage of.  

Thanks for your input
