The privacy-first Yoti alternative
AI age estimation, active liveness, and document verification in one widget and API — with no biometric storage and pricing you can see before you talk to sales.
Why teams choose Verisoar as their Yoti alternative.
Yoti is a well-known name in age verification and digital identity. If you're evaluating it, it's worth comparing on the dimensions that matter most for compliance and risk: how age estimation and document checks work together, what data is retained, how quickly you can integrate, and how pricing scales. Verisoar is a privacy-first Yoti alternative built around a simple principle — prove age, then store almost nothing.

| GDPR Art. 9 data-minimal by design | Yes — only a yes/no + audit hash kept | Varies by plan |
| Self-host option | Yes | Varies by plan |

What sets Verisoar apart.
No biometric store to breach
Verisoar processes selfies and documents in memory and discards them. Unlike storing identity data, there's no image database — a structural advantage when weighing up Yoti.
Frictionless by default
AI age estimation clears most users from a single selfie, and only borderline cases escalate to a document check — so friction lands where it's actually needed.
Live in an afternoon
Drop in the widget or call the API, point a webhook at your backend, and you're verifying users. No ML pipeline and no lengthy onboarding to build.
Privacy-first compliance
GDPR Art. 9 consent is captured and receipted, and only a coded outcome and a tamper-evident audit hash are retained — built for the UK Online Safety Act and EU AVMSD.
Audit trail without the data
Every check writes a tamper-evident audit record for your compliance team, while the underlying biometrics are never kept.
Transparent, predictable pricing
A free tier and published metered pricing mean you can start today and scale without a sales call or a surprise bill.
