The short version

  • Only ESLint has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ESLint slow performance on large codebases compared to newer tools like Oxlint and Biome; Jumio no pricing is published at any tier, so a buyer cannot size the cost without entering a sales process, and benchmarking requires a competitive bid from a vendor that does publish.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ESLint

  • Slow performance on large codebases compared to newer tools like Oxlint and Biome
  • Complexity in configuration from scratch, particularly for TypeScript support
  • Limited built-in TypeScript support, requiring separate parsers and coordination with new TypeScript features

Jumio

  • No pricing is published at any tier, so a buyer cannot size the cost without entering a sales process, and benchmarking requires a competitive bid from a vendor that does publish.
  • Contracts are structured on annual committed volume, meaning a business whose growth stalls pays for verifications it never consumed and there is usually no rollover.
  • AML screening is licensed separately from identity verification, so the quote that wins on document price can be materially more expensive once screening and monitoring are added.
  • Pass rates degrade for lower quality documents and older smartphones, and the resulting manual review queue is a staffing cost that does not appear in the vendor quote.
  • As an established vendor with a large enterprise base, product changes move at enterprise pace, and buyers wanting rapid iteration on new fraud vectors often find newer entrants ship faster.
