Methodology
How we calculate "~55% cheaper than Persona, ~65% cheaper than Sumsub"
Hypersign's pay-as-you-go rate is $0.45 per verification with no monthly subscription (the $0.45 rate applies to credit purchases above $250; credits stay valid for 6 months). The comparison below runs that rate against each vendor's own published list price at 1,200 verifications/month, a representative volume for a mid-market compliance team.
| Vendor / Plan | List Price | Cost at 1,200/mo | Hypersign saves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hypersign (pay-as-you-go) | $0.45 / verification, no subscription | $540 | — |
| Persona Essential | $250/mo + 500 free + $1.50/additional | $1,300 | 58% cheaper |
| Sumsub Basic | $1.35 / verification, $149/mo min. | $1,620 | 67% cheaper |
| Sumsub Compliance | $1.85 / verification, $299/mo min. | $2,220 | 76% cheaper |
"~55% cheaper than Persona" and "~65% cheaper than Sumsub" round these figures down, using Sumsub's Basic tier as the conservative baseline. AML/sanctions screening is priced separately on both sides (a self-serve add-on for Hypersign, bundled into Sumsub's Compliance tier); see the Sumsub comparison page for a tier-by-tier breakdown. The $0.45 rate applies to credit purchases above $250 (smaller top-ups carry a higher per-KYC rate), and credits expire after 6 months, so very low or irregular volumes should account for that. List prices as published by each vendor and cited on our Persona and Sumsub comparison pages. Confirm current rates directly with each vendor before making a purchasing decision.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does KYC cost per customer?
$0.45 per verified customer on pay-as-you-go — no subscription, no contracts. That price covers biometric checks, ID verification, liveness, and consent, plus encrypted storage and reusable KYC, not just the ID check. The $0.45 rate applies to credit purchases above $250 (you can buy less at a higher per-KYC rate), and credits are valid for 6 months. AML screening is the one thing that's still a self-serve add-on. See the methodology below for the full comparison.
What does identity verification pricing typically look like across vendors?
Most identity verification vendors charge somewhere between $0.45 and $2+ per check, depending on the tier, and that's usually just for the ID check itself — consent management, encrypted storage, and reusable credentials are often extra or not offered at all. Hypersign folds those into the base $0.45 rate. See the module catalog above for exactly what's bundled versus add-on.
How does pricing work?
There are three plans. Free is a sandbox with 50 KYC checks in your first month and every feature except reusable KYC and white-label APIs. Pay As You Go is $0.45 per KYC (biometric + ID verification + liveness + consent), with reusable KYC and 24/7 human support included; the $0.45 rate applies to credit purchases above $250 (smaller top-ups carry a higher per-KYC rate), and credits are valid for 6 months. Enterprise adds annual committed-volume pricing, custom legal terms, a 99.99% uptime SLA, data residency, and white-label terms.
How can Hypersign include consent, storage, and reusable KYC at $0.45?
Typical KYC vendors charge ~$0.45 for ID + biometrics only. That price doesn't include Consent API (required for GDPR and DPDP), Encrypted Credential Vault (required for data minimisation and right-to-erasure), or Reusable SSI APIs (required for eIDAS 2.0 and EUDI Wallet). Hypersign bundles all three at the same per-check price, so you don't license them separately or manage three more vendors.
What is included in the free plan?
The free sandbox gives you 50 full KYC checks in your first month — a one-time allowance, not monthly — with access to every feature except reusable KYC and white-label APIs, plus email support. No credit card required. All checks run on production-grade infrastructure.
Do you offer white-label KYC APIs?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. White-label KYC APIs let you run the full verification flow under your own brand, and reseller terms are available for platforms that offer KYC to their own customers. White-label isn't included in Free or Pay As You Go. Talk to us for pricing.
What is the Consent API and why do I need it?
The Consent API captures explicit, purpose-bound user consent at the point of verification timestamped and audit-ready. Under GDPR Article 7, the DPDP Act, and eIDAS 2.0, you must prove that consent was given, for what purpose, and when. Most KYC vendors don't provide this. Hypersign builds it into every verification flow.
What is the Encrypted Credential Vault?
The Credential Vault is Hypersign's encrypted identity storage layer. Every identity record is stored with lifecycle controls update, revoke, or erase credentials on demand. This directly supports GDPR's right to erasure and India's DPDP Act data management requirements.
What is reusable KYC and how does it reduce costs?
After a user passes their first verification, Hypersign issues a cryptographically signed verifiable credential. That credential is accepted across any Hypersign-connected platform so users never repeat the same check. This reduces drop-off, cuts per-user costs over time, and aligns with eIDAS 2.0's EUDI Wallet mandate.
Is Hypersign GDPR and DPDP compliant?
Yes. Consent capture, data minimisation, and purpose-linked data use are built into every verification flow. Timestamped audit logs prove compliance at any point in time. The Credential Vault supports GDPR right-to-erasure and DPDP data management requirements out of the box.
Is Hypersign eIDAS 2.0 ready?
Yes. Hypersign issues W3C-standard verifiable credentials aligned with eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Identity Wallet framework. The SSI APIs support selective disclosure and cross-border identity portability meeting the 2026 EU compliance deadline before it arrives.
Are there minimums or contracts on pay-as-you-go?
There's no monthly subscription, no seat fees, and no contract. You buy credits in any amount; purchases above $250 get the $0.45 per-KYC rate, smaller top-ups a higher rate. Credits stay valid for 6 months. Enterprise unlocks annual committed-volume pricing, custom legal terms, a 99.99% uptime SLA, data residency, and white-label terms.
How quickly can we go live?
Teams can go live in minutes using the no-code hosted verifier page share a link, users verify, you get results. For custom integration, REST APIs, SDKs (Web, iOS, Android, React Native), and webhook support are available. Full integration typically takes days, not months.
Build compliance right from day one.
Start with the free sandbox. Consent and the Credential Vault are there from your first API call, and reusable KYC switches on with pay-as-you-go, so you never have to rebuild your stack for compliance.
