When to choose TamperCheck
- You want a small, auditable API surface. Upload a document, get a verdict, move on. No fraud platform to adopt.
- Privacy matters and so does controlling your AI spend. No document warehouse, no cross-customer data sharing.
- You need a predictable cost per decision your finance team can model today - not a procurement cycle before you can run a pilot.
- You're building your own workflows and don't need packaged bank-grade case tooling on day one.
- The cryptographic layer gets the same scrutiny as the pixels. On signed documents we check the signature certificate - issuer, trust-list membership, chain of trust - alongside the metadata and image checks.
When to choose Inscribe
- You're a large financial institution standardizing document fraud across many teams, and you want a vendor who'll co-own the implementation and roadmap.
- You need pre-built operations: queues, analyst workflows, deep connectors. Not just "call an API and handle the JSON yourself."
- Your buyer is purchasing platform plus services - SLAs, change management - as much as detection accuracy.
Why TamperCheck is a different shape than Inscribe
Inscribe's value is end-to-end fraud operations for regulated institutions - connectors, policy, routing after a suspicious upload. TamperCheck deliberately stays narrow: high-signal forensic and AI adjudication, a privacy posture you can put in front of a security reviewer and a budget holder on the same day.
If your team owns orchestration in-house, TamperCheck avoids the procurement weight of a full fraud suite. If what you're buying is an operational layer across the business, Inscribe sells more of that surrounding workflow. TamperCheck sells the part every workflow depends on: the verdict itself, with the altered field named and the reasoning attached.
TamperCheck vs Inscribe: common questions
What is the best Inscribe alternative?
TamperCheck.ai, for teams that want detection without the platform. Plain-English verdict, altered field named, 100+ document types from 190+ countries, $0.50 per document, nothing retained. Live the same day, not after an enterprise rollout.
Does TamperCheck work for lenders that already have a fraud platform?
Yes, and that's how most teams deploy it. Single endpoint, structured findings, drops into your existing queue or decision engine as the forensic layer. You keep your workflow and add per-field tamper and AI-generation analysis on every document.
How much does Inscribe cost compared to TamperCheck?
Inscribe is custom-quoted through sales, so it depends on your negotiation and volume. TamperCheck publishes $0.50 per document - no minimum, no seat fees, no subscription. You can model the cost per decision before talking to anyone.
