Choosing a document verification partner is a significant decision. This page helps procurement and operations teams understand how TamperCheck compares to Regula - 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
- You need a single HTTP surface for any upload (PDF, phone photo, flatbed scan) with transparent $/doc and managed AI inference.
- 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.
