The short version
- Only Fig has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Fig shut down on 1 September 2024. Amazon acquired Fig in August 2023 and folded it into Amazon Q Developer, which now carries the terminal autocomplete; 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.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Fig
- Shut down on 1 September 2024. Amazon acquired Fig in August 2023 and folded it into Amazon Q Developer, which now carries the terminal autocomplete
- The standalone desktop app is no longer available or supported
- The completion specs remain open source on GitHub, but the product that consumed them is gone
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.
