The short version

  • 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.; Veriff you pay per verification attempt, not per verified customer, so a confusing capture flow or poor lighting on mobile makes you pay two or three times for one onboarding.
  • They diverge on capability: Jumio covers Liveness detection, Veriff covers Biometric liveness.
  • 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.

Veriff

  • You pay per verification attempt, not per verified customer, so a confusing capture flow or poor lighting on mobile makes you pay two or three times for one onboarding.
  • The headline $0.80 covers the document and selfie check only; adding PEP and sanctions screening at $0.64 nearly doubles the per-check cost, which is the number regulated buyers actually need.
  • Monthly minimums of $49 and $99 are low but real, so a product with seasonal signup patterns pays in quiet months.
  • Automated decision quality varies sharply by document type and issuing country, so a strong global average conceals weak performance in specific markets you may depend on.
  • Standard data retention is short and extending it to two years is a $0.30 per verification add-on, which matters because most financial regulators require records for five years or more.

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.

Veriff: What does a verification actually cost?

$0.80 on Essential or $1.39 on Plus, before add-ons. Sanctions and PEP screening adds $0.64 and ongoing monitoring $0.09 per verification.

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.

Veriff: Are failed attempts charged?

Sessions are charged, so retries by the same user generally cost you again. Ask for the exact billing definition of a session before signing.

Jumio: Is AML screening included?

Not by default. Screening and ongoing monitoring are priced separately from document verification.

Veriff: How long is data retained?

The default retention period is short and two-year extended retention is a paid add-on at $0.30 per verification, which is worth checking against your regulatory record-keeping obligations.
