KYC Pricing Methodology
Every number on this site traces to a vendor pricing page URL fetched on the verification date below. Quote-only vendors carry no inferred rates: we publish their sales-contact URL and stop there.
Data integrity rules
These rules are non-negotiable and apply to every page on the site. They exist because cost-comparison sites that infer prices for quote-only vendors drift into fabrication.
- No numeric claim without a source URL. Every $ figure traces to either (a) the vendor pricing page URL fetched on the verification date in the table below, or (b) a named authoritative dataset (FATF, FinCEN, FCA Handbook, EU Commission). Failing both, we remove the claim.
- No inferred rates for quote-only vendors. If a vendor hides pricing, we show a Quote Only badge, link to the vendor contact page, and write "Pricing not publicly disclosed by [Vendor]".
- No invented industry benchmarks. Acceptable: FATF, FinCEN, FCA, EU Commission. Unacceptable: "based on observation", "typical industry data".
- Worked examples use clearly-fictional companies. Any company name in an example is labelled as illustrative, not real.
- Every page footer carries a verification date stamp. Stale dates read as abandoned; honest dates earn citation.
- This page is the citable anchor. If anything on the site is challenged, the table below is the source of record.

Calculator model
The procurement calculator on the homepage and /calculator applies the following formula per vendor.
Inputs
- monthlyVerifications: integer 0-100,000 per month.
- amlScreeningShare: fraction 0-1 of checks needing PEP/sanctions screening.
- livenessRequired: boolean; only affects vendors that price liveness separately (iDenfy on Basic tier).
- manualReviewShare: fraction 0-0.2 of checks routed through manual review at $0.55/check on iDenfy Basic.
Formula
base = N x perVerificationRate
amlPortion = N x amlShare x pepSanctionsAddon
(Sumsub: N x amlShare x ($1.85 - $1.35) Compliance-tier delta)
liveness = livenessRequired && !livenessIncluded ? N x livenessAddon : 0
manualRev = N x manualReviewShare x $0.55 (iDenfy Basic only)
raw = base + amlPortion + liveness + manualRev
monthly = max(raw, monthlyMinimum ?? 0)
- free-tier credit (Didit 500/mo, Shufti 10/mo, Socure $1,000)Excluded from the USD stack
- Stripe Identity: published in GBP (GBP 1.25). The $1.57 figure elsewhere is GBP/USD-derived (June 2026 rate ~1.26), not a Stripe-published rate.
- Ondato: range only (EUR 1.40 to 0.50), exact bracket not published.
- All 6 quote-only vendors: surfaced with contact links, not inferred numbers.
Refresh cadence
Vendor pricing pages are re-fetched quarterly. Next refresh: September 2026. Quote-only vendors are revisited quarterly to confirm they have not started publishing rates.
Conflict-of-interest disclosure
Digital Signet receives no compensation from any KYC vendor. There are no affiliate links on this site. There are no sponsored vendor placements. The calculator's default ordering is by ascending list price, deterministic.
