Pricing
~€0.30 per file
From ~€2/verification (custom pricing)
Veriff charges per identity verification, with significant biometric costs. CheckFile offers analysis of a complete dossier for a fraction of the price of a single Veriff identity check.
Use cases
B2B onboarding with business dossier
CheckFile analyses the complete client dossier (company records, articles, bank details, certificates) where Veriff only verifies the legal representative's identity.
Cross-document inconsistency detection
CheckFile cross-references information across all documents in the dossier to detect inconsistencies — an analysis level impossible with single-document verification.
Deep regulatory compliance
CheckFile generates a complete compliance report integrating public registry data, going well beyond simple identity verification.
Our verdict
Veriff and CheckFile operate at different levels. Veriff is excellent at confirming someone is who they claim to be (ID + biometrics). CheckFile verifies that the complete documentary dossier is consistent and compliant. Both are complementary for exhaustive KYC compliance.
