idcheckidcheck.now vs Veriff
An honest comparison — pricing, minimums, document coverage, liveness certification, and features. Including the part most vendor-written comparisons skip: where Veriff is genuinely the better choice.
Last updated: July 26, 2026 · Competitor data as of July 2026, from public pricing pages and market reportsTwo different bets
Veriff is an Estonia-based verification vendor with strong global document coverage and, unusually for this market, published self-serve pricing: tiers at $0.80, $1.39, and $1.89 per check with monthly minimums of $49–$209 (as of July 2026). Enterprise pricing above that is quote-required. It's the closest thing to transparent pricing among the established vendors.
idcheck.now is built for US-focused products that want deep driver's-license forensics (AAMVA PDF417 decode, barcode↔OCR cross-checks, FL/IL/WI license-number recomputation) plus selfie, liveness, and OFAC screening — at a public $0.99 per completed check, with the first 100 checks each month free and a $0 monthly minimum.

Where Veriff is stronger
We wrote this section first. If any of these are must-haves for you, stop reading and go with Veriff.
Global document coverage
Veriff advertises thousands of document templates from around the world — vendors with Regula-grade libraries cite 15,000+. If your users aren't US-based, that breadth matters and we don't match it.
Certified liveness
Veriff advertises iBeta / ISO 30107-3 PAD certification for its liveness detection (verify the current level with the vendor). Our presentation-attack detection is in-house and our certification is on the roadmap.
Established brand and scale
Veriff verifies for large global platforms and has years of production scale behind its fraud models — real institutional knowledge that's hard to fast-follow.
Transparent-for-its-class pricing
Credit where due: Veriff publishes real per-check prices and real minimums. Among the big four in this comparison series, it's the most upfront about cost.
Where idcheck.now is stronger
Price
A public, flat $0.99 per completed check — first 100 each month free. Hard declines for fraud or sanctions matches are never billed.
No minimums
$0 monthly floor. Slow months cost nothing. There is no annual commit and no platform fee to amortize.
Transparent pricing
Every price is published, including an interactive cost calculator on our pricing page. No 'request a quote' wall — for any tier, including ours.
A real free tier
100 completed checks a month, free forever, no credit card. Document, selfie, liveness, and OFAC all included.
2.6M-face duplicate network
Every enrolled face is searched 1:N against a 2.6-million-face network, catching repeat fraudsters rotating identities across documents and merchants. None of the vendors in this series publicly list an equivalent.
Ungated docs and tools
Full API documentation, sandbox test sessions, and a working integration without talking to anyone. Five lines of JavaScript to a verified user.
AI-readable everything
llms.txt, machine-readable docs, and structured data on every page — built so both developers and their AI tools can evaluate us without a demo call.
