- They diverge on capability: iCompass covers Agenda Creation, Yoti covers Facial age estimation.
- 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.
iCompass
- iCompass (a Diligent Corporation product for local government agenda management) publishes no pricing on its own site; every call to action is Contact Us or Request a Demo, with no figures anywhere on the page.
Yoti
- Age estimation returns a probabilistic range rather than a verified date of birth, so it only works with a safety buffer above the legal threshold and cannot prove an exact age.
- Estimation accuracy varies by demographic and reported error margins widen at the age bands that matter most for eighteen-year thresholds, which pushes borderline users into a document fallback you still have to pay for.
- Pricing is not published, so buyers cannot compare the cost of an estimation check against a document check without going through sales.
- Regulatory acceptance of facial estimation differs by jurisdiction, so a method that satisfies Ofcom may not satisfy a regulator elsewhere and multi-market platforms need more than one approach.
- The reusable digital identity app depends on consumer adoption, which is meaningful in the UK and thin elsewhere, limiting the reusability benefit outside its home market.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Yoti: Does age estimation store my face?
The image is used to produce an estimate and then deleted rather than retained, which is the specific property that makes it usable for age assurance on minors.
Yoti: Is it accepted for UK Online Safety Act compliance?
Facial age estimation is one of the methods regulators have accepted as highly effective age assurance. Confirm the current position with your own counsel for your content category.
Yoti: Can it prove someone is exactly 21?
No. It gives a range. If you need a precise age you need a document or database check, which Yoti also sells.
