Choosing a document verification partner is a significant decision. This page helps procurement and operations teams understand how TamperCheck compares to Mitek — 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.

When to choose TamperCheck
- Files arrive from email, CRM, or back-office as PDFs or photos—you need server-side forensics, not a consumer camera SDK-first product.
- You want managed AI inference, transparent pricing, and plain-language output for analysts without buying a full identity suite.
When to choose Mitek
- You’re optimizing mobile capture and identity verification for millions of onboarding sessions with a tier-one vendor.
- You need check fraud, identity, and document auth in one institutional roadmap—not a standalone tamper microservice.
Institutional identity stack vs. tamper-only API
Mitek’s natural home is regulated financial services onboarding—capture quality, authentication, and risk signals across the journey. TamperCheck’s home is the file someone already uploaded: is it internally consistent, where does it look edited, does it look synthetic—whether the source was a scan, photo, or PDF.
Use Mitek-shaped solutions when you’re buying identity infrastructure. Use TamperCheck when you need a focused tamper verdict with developer-first economics and your own model keys.
