Choosing a document verification partner is a significant decision. This page helps procurement and operations teams understand how TamperCheck compares to Veriff — 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 already have identity capture and onboarding and only need deep tamper + AI adjudication on file bytes — not a full IDV journey.
- You need BYOK, published $/document pricing, and ephemeral processing without buying an identity orchestration platform.
- Documents arrive server-side (email, back-office, partner uploads) — not through a consumer-facing camera flow.
- You need to verify more than identity documents: bank statements, payslips, invoices, certificates, and contracts.
When to choose Veriff
- You're building consumer onboarding from scratch and need liveness checks, face match, and guided document capture in one hosted experience.
- Your compliance team requires a named IDV vendor with session-level audit trails and regulatory attestations across jurisdictions.
- You need real-time biometric verification as part of an identity journey, not only document forensics.
Identity orchestration vs. document forensic microservice
Veriff excels at owned identity sessions: the user opens a camera, captures their ID, takes a selfie, and Veriff validates all three in one flow. TamperCheck doesn't own the session — it just analyses the file. This makes TamperCheck the right tool when the file has already been uploaded, emailed, or submitted through your own forms.
Many organisations use both layers: Veriff (or similar) for initial onboarding, and TamperCheck for ongoing document submissions — bank statements, payslips, certificates — where a full identity session would create unnecessary friction. The two products solve different parts of the trust chain.
