The short version
- Each has a real cost: Trulioo per-check rates vary widely by country and data source, so a blended average from the sales conversation misleads if your volume concentrates in expensive markets.; 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.
- They diverge on capability: Trulioo covers Person match, 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.
Trulioo
- Per-check rates vary widely by country and data source, so a blended average from the sales conversation misleads if your volume concentrates in expensive markets.
- Coverage breadth is real but depth is uneven; a country on the map may be served by one thin source with low match rates, which you only discover in a live test.
- You are charged per query including no-match results, so a market with poor source coverage burns budget producing nothing usable.
- Because it aggregates third-party data, data residency and consent handling depend on the underlying provider terms, which complicates GDPR assessments in some jurisdictions.
- Document and biometric capability is competent but not the strongest in the market, so buyers whose primary need is document fraud detection usually pair it with a specialist.
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
Trulioo: Does it need a document?
Not for the core product. Data-source matching uses name, address and date of birth, which is why completion rates are higher than document flows.
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.
Trulioo: Are unmatched queries billed?
Yes, in general you pay per query rather than per successful match. Negotiate this explicitly if you are entering markets with thin coverage.
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.
Trulioo: Can it verify companies as well as people?
Yes. Business verification including beneficial ownership is a distinct product line and a common reason to choose Trulioo over document-first vendors.
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.
