Veriff figures are taken from their own published material - veriff.com pricing and product pages, checked September 2026. Anything they state about themselves and we cannot verify is marked “their claim”. Where a row reads “not published”, the information was not publicly available at that date, not that it does not exist.
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 managed AI inference, 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. specialist document forensics
Veriff is one of the few vendors in this category that publishes a rate card, which makes the comparison unusually concrete. Verification is $0.80 to $1.89 depending on tier, against a $49 to $209 monthly minimum - and retention is a line item: keeping records for two years costs an extra $0.30 per verification. That is the clearest illustration of the structural difference between the two products. For an identity platform, the stored record is part of what you are buying, so holding it longer costs more. For TamperCheck the document is never written to disk at all, so there is no retention tier to price, and nothing to negotiate with a security reviewer.
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.
TamperCheck vs Veriff: common questions
Is TamperCheck a Veriff alternative?
For document authenticity, yes. Veriff verifies a person inside a hosted session; TamperCheck verifies a document with no session at all - the bank statement emailed by an applicant, the invoice uploaded to your portal, the certificate forwarded by a recruiter - and names the field that was altered.
Can Veriff and TamperCheck be used together?
Yes, and they are complementary. Veriff for onboarding identity, TamperCheck for every supporting document that follows, where a full identity session would add friction without answering whether the document itself is genuine.
Which is better for AI-generated documents?
TamperCheck runs a dedicated AI-generation and deepfake pass on every uploaded file and resolves the finding to the individual field. Identity platforms concentrate their synthetic-media defences on the capture session and the face - a different attack surface from a fabricated payslip arriving by email.
