In their own words
ProntoID
ProntoID provides identity and age verification for businesses, creators, and end users. Its services include KYC, document verification, biometric liveness detection, and age checks across web, iOS, Android, and API. The homepage says it covers 195+ countries and completes verification in under 30 seconds; its KYC page lists analysis of 190+ document types, with MRZ reading and authenticity checks. Teams can connect through a REST API, webhooks, API polling, a hosted verification flow, or a JavaScript widget, with JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Go SDKs available. For age sessions started by a third-party platform, that platform receives a verified status flag, while ID images and biometric selfies are deleted from active systems after the check. ProntoID says it generally shares verification results rather than identity documents and does not sell personal data. Compliance records may be retained as required by law. Plans range from a free tier with 100 verifications per month to paid monthly plans from $19/mo; the listed Age Verification Essential plan costs $19 a month.
