Hanko vs Neurotechnology VeriLook

Hanko is an open-source authentication and user management platform for apps, supporting passkeys, passwords, passwordless login, multi-factor authentication, and single sign-on. Developers can use Hanko Elements, customizable web components for onboarding, login, and account management, or the Flow API to build custom authentication frontends. Elements work with web stacks using HTML and JavaScript. Quickstarts and starter templates are linked for Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, Svelte, React, Vue, Solid, and Symfony. Hanko is available in Hanko Cloud, private cloud, or self-hosted on customer servers. Hanko Cloud is currently hosted only in AWS Frankfurt, Germany. The company says customers retain control of their data and can move between Cloud and self-hosted deployments. Its Trust Center lists GDPR as compliant and ISO 27001 as in progress. Cloud tiers include 10,000 free monthly active users; the pricing FAQ says limits do not block signups or logins. Starter costs nothing, while Pro costs $29 a month.

Neurotechnology VeriLook is a self-hosted face-recognition SDK for developers and integrators building stand-alone or client-server applications. It supports 1-to-1 face verification and 1-to-many identification, and can process multiple faces in live video and still images. The maker gives detection times of 0.01–0.86 seconds, depending on settings. Liveness detection has passive and active modes and is stated to comply with ISO 30107-3. The maker also says partially occluded faces, including masked faces, can be recognized, and near-infrared images can be matched with visible-light images. Optional tools include age estimation, gender classification, facial attributes, 68 facial feature points, face morph detection and image quality assessment. Samples and tutorials are listed for C/C++, C#, VB.NET, Java and Python. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. The Standard SDK costs €339, paid once and the Extended SDK €859, paid once; both are perpetual development licenses, with component licenses required for each deployment device. A 30-day trial is available.
