The Free Forever plan costs nothing and includes 7,500 MAUs, 10 monthly active tenants and 3 SSO connections. Pro costs $249 a month, billed annually; Growth costs $799 a month, billed annually.

Trusona ATO Protect verifies identity in real time during password or MFA resets, account recovery, and other high-risk requests, with the stated aim of preventing account takeovers. It checks people against authoritative sources including DMV records, mobile network operators, and LexisNexis, and detects SIM swaps, man-in-the-middle activity, and replayed ID scans. Trusona says document checks cover more than 2,500 ID types worldwide. People can use the service without downloading an app or registering in advance, and a zero-integration option is listed. Employees and customers can check that an agent is genuine, while executives can verify each other before wire transfers. After a successful check, a person can save a TruPass(key) to skip ID scans later. Listed integrations include ServiceNow and APIs, with options for Zendesk, Jira, Ivanti, and Freshdesk tickets. Trusona says it stores no PII and shows agents a risk result rather than identity documents. The portal plan is free with no commitment; other pricing is available on request.
