Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Sumsub
- The published per-verification rate is undercut by a monthly minimum of 149 or 299 dollars, so low volume businesses pay a much higher effective rate than the headline suggests.
- You are billed per verification attempt in most configurations, meaning applicant drop-off and resubmissions cost money without producing a customer.
- Pass rates and document support vary noticeably by country, and a market that works well in Europe can produce materially worse rejection rates in parts of Africa and South East Asia.
- The AML screening tier bundles list coverage that large institutions would normally buy separately and tune, giving less control over match thresholds than a dedicated screening vendor.
- The company originated in Russia before restructuring to a UK entity, and some financial institutions still raise that history in vendor risk review, which can slow or block procurement at conservative banks.
Turborepo
- No commercial support mentioned
- Build tool with community-driven development
