List prices in USD before tax and discounts. Each vendor is priced on its cheapest plan that lists a rate for every line, and the vendor's own region and tier assumptions apply (see each vendor page). "From" means some lines have no listed price, so the real bill is higher.

KYC and identity verification pricing questions
Which KYC and identity verification vendor is cheapest?
For 500 identity verifications a month, Veriff comes out lowest at about $400.00 a month on list prices, and Stripe highest at about $750.00, checked 2026-10-25. A different workload can change the order, so enter your own numbers in the estimator.
How is the estimate worked out?
Each vendor is priced on its cheapest plan that lists a rate for every line of the workload: the plan fee plus each usage line, after any free or included amount. A plan's monthly minimum counts as a floor. Volume tiers are applied in order. Taxes, discounts and committed-use deals are left out.
Why are some vendors missing a price?
We could not read the pricing page of Onfido (Entrust) and Persona on 2026-10-25, so they are left out.
How current are these prices?
Every rate was read off the vendor's own pricing page on 2026-10-25 and links to it. Prices change often: check the vendor's page before you commit, and tell us if a number here is out of date.
