Choosing a document verification partner is a significant decision. These pages help procurement and operations teams understand how TamperCheck compares to the tools they're evaluating — 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.
TamperCheck vs Regula: enterprise document authenticity vs. developer tamper API
Regula is a long-standing document verification and forensic authenticity vendor—IDs, visas, templates, and deep authenticity tooling for regulated and government use cases. TamperCheck is a narrower, API-first service: upload PDFs, images, or scans, get tamper and synthesis signals with BYOK and published per-document pricing.
Transparent pricing: TamperCheck publishes $0.50 per document after your $5 credits — pay-as-you-go, no seat fees, no opaque tiers. Full pricing →

When to choose TamperCheck
- You need a single HTTP surface for any upload (PDF, phone photo, flatbed scan) with transparent $/doc and BYOK.
- Your engineers own orchestration and only want verdict + findings JSON, not a multi-year platform program.
When to choose Regula
- You’re standardizing government-grade or bank-wide authenticity with Regula’s template library and field tooling.
- You need hardware, specialized readers, or on-prem options alongside software—outside TamperCheck’s cloud-API scope.
Field-proven authenticity vs. cloud tamper microservice
Regula’s reputation is built on years of document authenticity work—templates, travel documents, and forensic workflows used in demanding environments. TamperCheck doesn’t try to replicate that entire product line; it focuses on fast, explainable tamper and synthesis analysis on the bytes you already have—including camera photos and scans as first-class inputs.
Choose Regula when procurement wants a named forensic authenticity vendor with a broad portfolio. Choose TamperCheck when the bottleneck is shipping a verdict API with clear unit economics and your own LLM provider this quarter.
