iDenfy is an identity verification platform that checks government IDs, matches selfies against them, and runs liveness detection to confirm a real person is signing up. It bills usage-based rather than per seat: a monthly plan with a spending floor plus a per-verification rate, with an add-on available to bill only approved verifications instead of every attempt.
Beyond core ID verification it covers KYB business checks, AML and sanctions/PEP screening, and ongoing monitoring, sold mostly as add-ons on the pay-as-you-go plans and bundled into Enterprise. The platform ships with API, SDK, and no-code widget options, plus full white-label styling so the verification flow can carry your own branding instead of iDenfy's.
Who it's for
- ✓ Startups and mid-size fintechs that want usage-based pricing instead of a flat per-seat license, with the option to add approved-only billing
- ✓ Teams that need white-labeled KYC embedded in their own signup flow without heavy dev lift
- ✓ Businesses that also need KYB, AML screening, or ongoing monitoring bundled with identity checks
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ High-volume enterprises that want a fully transparent public rate card, since Enterprise pricing is quote-only
- ✗ Teams that assume the base plan bills only successful verifications, since that requires paying an extra $0.50-per-verification add-on
Pros
- + Add-ons are itemized and priced per verification, sanctions screening, proof of address, manual review, and 3D liveness among them, instead of being bundled into a forced higher tier
- + Premium discounts nearly every add-on versus Basic, so cost per verification falls as you commit to the higher plan
- + Full white-label flow plus API, SDK, and no-code widget covers most integration paths
- + Enterprise tier includes cyber insurance coverage up to $500K, which is unusual to see itemized in a KYC vendor's plan
Cons
- – Both Basic and Premium bill per verification attempt by default; paying only for approved passes costs an extra $0.50 per verification on top of the plan price
- – Premium's monthly minimum is $325, more than double Basic's $135 floor, for a per-verification rate that only drops from $1.35 to $1.30
- – Enterprise pricing is not published, so budgeting for scale requires a sales conversation
- – Reviewers report the system occasionally approves verifications where a second person is visible in frame, a false-negative risk compliance teams should test for
- – Verification session codes can expire if a user takes too long, adding friction some reviewers flagged as an abandonment risk
