The short version
- Only Yarn 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.; Yarn yarn 2+ (Berry) has limited ESM support which can be a constraint for some projects

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.
Yarn
- Yarn 2+ (Berry) has limited ESM support which can be a constraint for some projects
- Smaller ecosystem and community compared to npm, though still substantial

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.
Yarn: What is Yarn's main advantage over npm?
Yarn downloads packages in parallel, significantly reducing installation time. It uses a yarn.lock file for deterministic installs, ensuring identical package versions across machines and preventing version conflicts common with npm.
SourceJumio: 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.
Yarn: Can I use Yarn in offline environments?
Yes, Yarn supports secure offline environments. The yarn.lock file enables reproducible installs without requiring new downloads.
SourceJumio: Is AML screening included?
Not by default. Screening and ongoing monitoring are priced separately from document verification.
