The short version
- Only Azure DevOps has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Azure DevOps first 5 users free applies to Basic plan only; Test Plans users are not included in free tier; Veriff you pay per verification attempt, not per verified customer, so a confusing capture flow or poor lighting on mobile makes you pay two or three times for one onboarding.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Azure DevOps
- First 5 users free applies to Basic plan only; Test Plans users are not included in free tier
- Storage pricing increases per-GiB cost as volumes grow, with no volume discount threshold below $0.25
Veriff
- You pay per verification attempt, not per verified customer, so a confusing capture flow or poor lighting on mobile makes you pay two or three times for one onboarding.
- The headline $0.80 covers the document and selfie check only; adding PEP and sanctions screening at $0.64 nearly doubles the per-check cost, which is the number regulated buyers actually need.
- Monthly minimums of $49 and $99 are low but real, so a product with seasonal signup patterns pays in quiet months.
- Automated decision quality varies sharply by document type and issuing country, so a strong global average conceals weak performance in specific markets you may depend on.
- Standard data retention is short and extending it to two years is a $0.30 per verification add-on, which matters because most financial regulators require records for five years or more.
