VERDICT

Should I use Didit?

One API for identity and fraud - didit.me

Depends. Buy if you're a startup or small fintech needing a cheap, API-first KYC provider with a free tier. Skip it if you're a regulated enterprise that needs vendor maturity, a long track record, and enterprise-grade support.

Best for

  • Startups needing a KYC API
  • Fintechs expanding into new markets
  • Crypto/VASP compliance teams
  • Cost-sensitive teams off Sumsub or Onfido

Not for

  • Regulated enterprises needing vendor maturity
  • Teams with no developers — it's API-first
  • Buyers requiring enterprise SLAs and dedicated support
  • Anyone wanting a decade-long track record — it's seed-stage

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Seed-stage vendor: if it pivots or folds, you're re-integrating KYC mid-compliance.

medium

Free plan covers 500 verifications; confirm overage rates before you commit.

medium

Cheaper-than-Sumsub claims appear only on Didit's own pages; get independent quotes.

medium

Guess: switching KYC vendors later means re-verifying existing users and migrating audit records.

Pros and cons

  • $0.33 per verification check, undercutting Sumsub and Onfido
  • Free plan includes 500 full KYC verifications

Cons

  • Conflicting funding reports ($2M–$7.5M) complicate diligence
  • Unproven against mature rivals like Trulioo and Equifax
