Choosing a document verification partner is a significant decision. This page helps procurement and operations teams understand how TamperCheck compares to Inscribe — on pricing, privacy posture, and what it actually takes to get started. Note that TamperCheck works on digital PDFs and scanned hard copies alike — including physical stamp verification and handwritten signature analysis, not just native digital files.
Digital PDFs
text layer + raster analysis
Phone photos & scans
camera captures and flatbed scans
Physical stamp verification
ink bleed, embossing, overlay detection
Handwritten signature analysis
forgery and substitution checks

When to choose TamperCheck
- You want a small, auditable API surface: upload a document, get a verdict and findings, done—without buying a full fraud platform.
- Privacy and control over AI spend matter: and no document warehouse narrative is central to your security story.
- You need predictable unit economics for engineering-led teams ($/document on the website, no mandatory enterprise procurement to try).
- You’re building custom workflows (lending ops, internal tools) and don’t need Inscribe’s packaged bank-grade case tooling on day one.
When to choose Inscribe
- You’re a large FI standardizing document fraud across many teams and want a vendor who carries implementation and roadmap jointly with you.
- You need pre-built operations: queues, analyst workflows, and deep connectors beyond “call an API and store the JSON yourself.”
- Your buyer is purchasing platform + services (SLAs, change management) as much as raw detection accuracy.
Why TamperCheck is a different shape than Inscribe
Inscribe’s value is often end-to-end document fraud operations for regulated institutions—connectors, policy, and how work gets routed after a suspicious upload. TamperCheck deliberately stays narrow: high-signal forensic and AI adjudication with a privacy posture and pricing model that looks like infrastructure.
If your team can own orchestration in-house and only needs best-effort tamper detection with clear explanations, TamperCheck avoids the procurement weight and platform surface area of a full banking fraud suite. If you need Inscribe’s operational layer across the business, they’re the more natural fit—even if both touch “document fraud.”
