The short version
- Only Trivy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: 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.; Trivy reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise
- They diverge on capability: Jumio covers Document verification, Trivy covers Multi-target scanning.
- 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.
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.
Trivy
- Reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise
- No built-in triage or exception workflow, so suppressing accepted risk is managed in config files
- Findings are point-in-time from CI, with no continuous runtime monitoring unless you add the commercial platform

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Jumio: Does Jumio publish prices?
No. Everything is quoted, normally as a per-verification rate against an annual committed volume with overage pricing above it.
Trivy: Is Trivy free?
Yes, open source from Aqua Security with no licence fee. Aqua sells a commercial platform around it.
Jumio: Is biometric data processed in the EU?
Regional processing including EU data residency is offered. Confirm the specific region and retention period in the contract rather than assuming it.
Trivy: What can Trivy scan?
Container images, filesystems, Git repositories, Kubernetes clusters and infrastructure-as-code, for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets and licences.
Jumio: Is AML screening included?
Not by default. Screening and ongoing monitoring are priced separately from document verification.
Trivy: Does Trivy need a server?
No. It is a single binary, which is a large part of why it became a default in CI.
