Liveness detection API pricing, compared
Most liveness vendors do not publish a price. Here is what is public as of November 2026, and what to ask the rest.
Who publishes a price
| Vendor | Public price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minno | $0.05 per check, first 100 free, face match included | No minimum; abandoned sessions free; test keys free |
| Amazon Rekognition Face Liveness | Per check, on the AWS pricing page | Raw building block: you build sessions, credentials, decisions and metering yourself |
| Didit | Published on its site | Full IDV platform with liveness as one step |
| FaceTec | Not public | Licensed, billed per check with a monthly minimum |
| iProov | Not public | Sales quote |
| Jumio, Onfido | Not public | Sales quote, usually inside a wider IDV contract |
Check each vendor's own page before you decide; prices change.
What a check really costs
- Abandoned sessions. Ask whether you pay when a person quits halfway. At Minno you do not.
- Minimums. A monthly minimum turns a cheap per-check price into an expensive one at low volume.
- Retries. Ask whether a second attempt by the same person is a second charge.
- Face match. Matching the live face to an ID portrait is often priced separately.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Which certification do you hold, issued by whom, for which level, and can I see the letter?
- Does it cover injection attacks (a virtual camera feeding fake video)? Presentation-attack certification does not.
- Where are captures processed, and do you keep face images? For how long?
- Can I white-label the capture screen and re-bill my own customers by usage?
