The short version

Only Git has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Git licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 as stated on git-scm.com/about; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare; 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.

Git

Licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 as stated on git-scm.com/about; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
Git is a command line tool by design; graphical workflows and hosted collaboration depend entirely on third party GUIs and hosting services layered on top, per git-scm.com/about

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.
