Alternatives to Shufti

{"intro": "Shufti combines document forensics, biometric liveness, NFC chip verification and real-time AML screening in one configurable identity-verification API. It handles identity, business and transaction workflows, supports more than 240 regions and 150 languages, and returns decisions within 15 seconds. REST APIs, webhooks, native iOS, Android and web SDKs, Journey Builder and AWS Marketplace deployment give teams several ways to integrate. Free Forever includes 10 live production verifications monthly; Essentials starts at $1.50 per verification.\n\nReaders may switch when that allowance, per-verification billing or Shufti’s Android, API, iOS, self-hosted and web platforms do not fit. Compare each alternative’s document and country coverage, biometric or age focus, hosting control, privacy handling, authentication features and developer tooling. Some options emphasize workforce authentication, private-cloud processing or document extraction rather than AML and business checks. Monthly or per-user pricing may also suit a different volume pattern.
