Shufti vs Zyphe Age Verification

Shufti provides digital identity verification and fraud prevention for compliance workflows. Its configurable API combines document forensics, biometric liveness checks, NFC chip verification and real-time AML screening. Document verification covers more than 240 regions and 150 languages, with decisions returned within 15 seconds. Facial checks use iBeta Level 3 certified liveness detection to identify deepfake selfies, printed photos and injection attacks. The REST API supports identity, business and transaction verification or monitoring in web and mobile applications. Integration options include REST APIs, webhooks and native SDKs for iOS, Android and web. Journey Builder lets users assemble verification journeys by selecting and arranging services; an AWS Marketplace integration is also documented. Shufti lists PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR-related certifications and Cyber Essentials among its audits and certifications, and advertises 24/7/365 support. The Free Forever plan includes 10 monthly live-production verifications without a card. Essentials is $1.50, paid once, billed per verification, with pay-as-you-go terms and no minimum monthly commitment.

Zyphe Age Verification checks whether a user meets the minimum age configured for access to restricted products, services, or content. Rules can be set per verification flow and adjusted for a market, such as an 18- or 21-year threshold. The service checks government identity documents covering more than 4,000 document versions from 213 countries and territories. Checks include active liveness, anti-spoof measures, and injection-attack detection. After an initial verification, a user can present a KYC Passport zero-knowledge proof of being over the threshold without revealing a birth date or document. A location step compares GPS with the IP country and flags VPN or proxy use and blacklisted IPs. Zyphe says documents are processed transiently and stored encrypted in the user's vault; it retains the result, audit log, and cryptographic proof. Integration options include APIs, browser and Node.js SDKs, hosted verification links, iframe embedding, and mobile WebView. Business is listed at free, with a monthly KYC allowance; checks above the allowance and add-ons are charged per check. Zyphe says it does not offer facial age estimation.
