About Socure

Socure is a well-known identity verification provider founded in 2012, headquartered in Incline Village, Nevada. With $700M+ raised in funding, Socure has built a strong presence in the US identity market.

What Socure does well:

• Predictive identity fraud intelligence
• Sigma Identity Fraud consortium data
• RiskOS platform

But there are significant limitations:

• Higher published per-check pricing ($0.80–$1.30 Launch vs Didit's $0.30)
• Deepest identity-data coverage concentrated in 50+ countries
• No reusable KYC credential documented
• Phone and address offered as RiskScores, priced on request
• Enterprise RiskOS platform can be more than a simple KYC flow needs

About Didit

Didit is an advanced, AI-native identity verification platform. Built from the ground up for the agentic era, Didit delivers Core KYC at $0.30/verification — priced well below typical competitor rates — with sub-2-second inference, 200+ real-time fraud signals, and a free KYC tier (500 checks/month, forever).

Everything is vertically integrated: AI models, orchestration, case management, continuous monitoring, and biometric authentication — all in-house, all in one platform. No vendor stitching.

Pricing Comparison

	Didit	Socure
Core KYC (ID + Liveness + Face Match)	$0.30	$0.80–$1.30/evaluation (Launch)
Monthly minimum	$0	None (Launch includes $1,000/mo free credits)
Annual commitment	No	No (Launch tier)
Free tier	500/month forever	$1K credits/mo (Launch)
Public pricing	Yes	Yes (Launch tier)
AML screening	$0.27	Bundled
Phone verification	$0.10	Phone RiskScore (on request)
Proof of address	$0.20	Address RiskScore (on request)

The pricing difference is massive. At its published Launch rates of $0.80–$1.30/evaluation, Socure's per-check price is higher than Didit's $0.30. With no monthly minimums, no annual contracts, and 500 free checks/month, Didit eliminates the financial barriers that keep teams locked into expensive legacy providers.

Consider a company running 10,000 verifications/month: with Didit, that's $2,850 (first 500 free, rest at $0.30). With Socure, you're looking at significantly higher costs — plus contract lock-ins and minimum commitments. The savings compound every month.

Verification Speed & User Experience

Didit delivers sub-2-second inference. Real-time fraud checks happen during the front ID scan, rather than only after the user flips the document for the back scan.

• Didit: <2s inference. Real-time front-scan checks. Passive liveness (no awkward head movements). Auto-capture. Dynamic ML model loading adapts to every device and network speed.
• Socure: reports sub-second document-verification response times; real-time front-scan optimization is Didit-specific.

This speed difference directly impacts onboarding conversion rates. Faster verification = fewer drop-offs = more users completing KYC. Didit's mobile-first design works on any smartphone, any country, any connectivity — ensuring the highest onboarding completion rates globally.

Fraud Detection

Didit analyzes 200+ fraud signals in real-time: IP analysis, device fingerprinting, replay attack detection, deepfake detection, face morphing, document forgery — all during the verification flow. Every fraud detection model is built and trained in-house, not resold from third parties.

• Dedicated expert fraud team responds to new attack vectors within hours, not quarterly model retraining
• 1:N face deduplication catches repeat fraudsters across accounts
• Blocklists and duplicate detection prevent re-registration
• Configurable risk thresholds tuned to your fraud profile
• Government photo biometric match — verify against official government photos (only Didit offers this)

Socure operates an established AI-powered identity and fraud platform; Didit's differentiator is 200+ real-time fraud signals with in-house models.

Developer Experience

Didit is developer-first, API-first. Everything is self-service and programmatic:

• 60-second sandbox — create an account at business.didit.me and start testing immediately
• MCP server for AI agent integration — verify identities from Claude Code, your AI agents, or any MCP-compatible tool
• "Integration is 1 prompt in Claude Code" — agent-native identity verification
• SDKs for every platform: React Native, iOS, Android, Flutter, Web
• Public, versioned documentation with full code examples at docs.didit.me
• RESTful API + webhooks — event-driven architecture, HMAC signatures, retry logic
• White-label UI customization — match your brand exactly

Socure offers a public developer hub (DevHub) with API references and SDKs; Didit adds an MCP server that triggers verifications and an instant self-service sandbox.

Global Coverage

Didit covers 220+ countries, 14,000+ document types, and 48+ languages. Direct connections with government databases for extra validation. Biometric verification against official government photos. Industry-leading coverage.

• GDPR-native architecture with EU data residency options
