Veriff vs Onfido (Entrust)
A direct price comparison is impossible because Onfido (Entrust) is quote-only since the 2024 Entrust acquisition. We compare the procurement-shape difference, the coverage, and what published-pricing alternatives look like.

Where each vendor wins
Veriff
- Procurement speed. You can self-serve sign-up and build a working cost model in an afternoon.
- Lower-friction commercials. $49/mo Essential minimum is one of the more accessible regulated-vertical entries.
- Published-rate anchoring. You can put $0.80 in front of the CFO and an Onfido sales engineer simultaneously.
Onfido (Entrust)
- Document coverage breadth. 2,500+ document subtypes is one of the deeper catalogues in the market.
- Atlas AI engine. A decade of biometric and document-verification ML refinement.
- Bundled with Entrust security stack. If you already use Entrust PKI / certificates / HSM, the commercial may bundle.
How to run a parallel procurement
We recommend a two-track procurement. Track A: sign up for Veriff today, build a working volume + AML cost model on the published rates, get budget approval. Track B: contact Entrust sales with the same workload spec and ask for a written quote with an expiry date. Compare the all-in price (per-check + platform fee + implementation + annual escalator) to the Veriff baseline, not just the headline per-check rate.
Why we will not publish inferred Onfido rates
Some cost-comparison sites still publish "Onfido pricing $1.50-$3.50 per verification" figures sourced from old leaked contracts or pre-acquisition marketplace pages. We removed those numbers from this site. The vendor would disavow them on a call, and the figure is sensitive to vertical and to volume tier. Anchoring procurement on an outdated number is worse than treating the rate as unknown until quoted.
