FaceTec vs Veriff

FaceTec provides 3D face liveness and face matching software for identity verification. Its onboarding flow can capture a video selfie, check liveness, compare a face with an ID photo, detect ID tampering, and look for duplicate enrolled faces. The product also includes Photo ID OCR and barcode or NFC scanning. A free developer account can be used to try age estimation, liveness, face matching, OCR, and scanning. FaceTec lists support for iOS 12 and later, Android 5 and later, webcams, mobile browsers, progressive web apps, and PCs with webcams. Developers can use device SDKs for iOS, Android, and browsers, or a server-side software/API configuration. FaceTec says its server software runs in the customer’s private cloud inside its firewall and that end-user biometric data and personally identifiable information are not sent to FaceTec. Commercial pricing is by quote, with a minimum monthly commitment and billing per 3D Liveness check or per user. Unlimited Photo ID scans for KYC/AML are included at no charge.
