Veriff

Document and biometric identity verification with published per-check pricing

As of 1 September 2026, Veriff starts at $0.8/verification. Identity verification that publishes its rates, $0. Softwr lists it under Cybersecurity. Veriff is available on Web, iOS, Android, API.

Overview

What Veriff does

Veriff verifies identity documents and matches them to a live selfie, returning a decision in seconds. It supports government-issued documents from more than two hundred and thirty countries, runs liveness and injection-attack detection on the selfie, and offers proof of address, database checks, and PEP and sanctions screening as add-ons. Integration is by SDK for web, iOS and Android or by hosted redirect flow. The distinguishing fact is transparent pricing. The Essential plan is $0.80 per verification with a $49 monthly minimum; the Plus plan, which adds human review on top of automation, is $1.39 per verification with a $99 monthly minimum. Add-ons are priced individually: PEP and sanctions screening adds $0.64 per verification, ongoing monitoring $0.09, and extended two-year data retention $0.30. In a market where competitors route every enquiry to a sales team, that gives a buyer a public benchmark to negotiate against. Buyers are marketplaces, crypto exchanges, mobility platforms and financial services firms needing KYC or age assurance. The trade-off is that per-verification pricing charges for attempts, not for successful onboardings, so a flow with a poor user experience or high retry rate pays for the same person twice. Modelling cost on expected customers rather than expected verification attempts is the mistake that makes budgets wrong.

What people use it for

  • A crypto exchange that needs a published rate to model unit economics before committing to a KYC vendor
  • A marketplace verifying sellers in dozens of countries where a single document library matters more than depth in one market
  • A mobility platform running age and licence checks at signup with volumes too small for an enterprise contract
  • A regulated firm wanting automated decisions by default but human review on borderline cases, priced explicitly

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

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.

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.

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.
