A pre-screening API that combines face matching, ID-document OCR, duplicate-face detection, and basic identity checks from $0.10 per applicant.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The page presents a staged verification workflow: inexpensive checks at signup, followed by a certified provider when an account funds, withdraws, or crosses a risk threshold. Its advertised endpoints cover selfie-to-ID comparison, document-field extraction, duplicate-face embeddings, basic contact checks, and proof-of-residence reading. The public test asks for a camera face scan, an ID image, and an email for the full result, while the page says those test materials are retained.
