Why choose Veriff over Socure?
While both Veriff and Socure offer high-performance identity verification, they are built on fundamentally different philosophies. Socure is a predictive identity platform heavily focused on the US market and data-driven risk scoring. Veriff is a global trust infrastructure designed for deep document forensics, universal coverage, and seamless conversion across every continent.
Universal vs. Regional Design
Veriff is built as a “global-first” engine, verifying users in any market where a government ID exists. Socure remains heavily U.S.-centric, relying on an “Identity Graph” of domestic credit, telco, and utility data. In regions where these data trails don’t exist, Socure’s predictive accuracy and pass rates often drop, whereas Veriff’s document-centric model remains consistent worldwide.
True Global Document Coverage
Veriff supports over 12,000 document types across 230+ countries and territories, more than doubling Socure’s coverage. This ensures your business can scale globally without needing regional sub-vendors.
Conversion-First User Experience
Veriff uses Assisted Image Capture (AIC) to coach users in real-time, preventing retakes before they happen. Socure’s “static” capture lacks this real-time coaching, often leading to multiple attempts and user abandonment.
Strategic Hybrid Review Model
Veriff combines advanced AI with a vital layer of expert human review for complex edge cases. Socure’s “fully automated” mandate can lead to higher false rejection rates for users with non-standard IDs or in complex fraud scenarios, forcing your team to handle manual exceptions.
Video-First Liveness Detection
Veriff’s Face Fraud Risk Score (FFRS) analyzes entire video sequences and 1,000+ data points to catch sophisticated deepfakes and media injection attacks that Socure’s static photo-matching can miss.
Transparent and Flexible Pricing
Veriff offers transparent, volume-based pricing with no hidden fees for resubmissions as well as self-serve options for businesses of all sizes. Socure is known for non-transparent enterprise pricing and lacks the self-serve flexibility that many growing global platforms require.
Veriff supports your business to maximize its market potential by reducing user abandonment and increasing your conversion rate.
