Idura (formerly Criipto) vs Veriff

These two answer the question of who is on the other end in opposite ways. Idura, formerly Criipto, routes users through national eID schemes such as MitID and BankID with one integration, and it does no document or face checking of its own. Veriff scans documents, matches faces and prints its per-verification rates on a public page. Idura is a Danish company bought by Sto in September 2024, while Veriff's pricing and home pages name no country of establishment. One bills monthly login packages plus scheme fees, the other bills per check with a monthly minimum.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Both are reviewed in full in our identity verification ranking: Idura (formerly Criipto) and Veriff.

1. 01

   Login packages against per-check rates

   Idura Verify sells monthly packages in euro excluding VAT: Small at EUR 67 for 1,000 logins, Medium at EUR 220 for 5,000 and Large at EUR 400 for 10,000, with Enterprise on request. Veriff charges per verification in dollars, from USD 0.80 on Essential with a USD 49 monthly minimum. Idura's per-login cost falls as the package grows, while Veriff's rate rises as features are added. Neither is cheaper for every volume, so estimate your own monthly traffic before choosing.

   Depends on the buyer

2. 02

   Fees that arrive on a second invoice

   Idura bills the eID providers' own fees separately from the package, for example EUR 0.037 per Danish MitID transaction and EUR 0.013 per Swedish BankID authentication, and logins above the plan limit carry an overage fee whose amount is not stated. Veriff adds optional extras per check instead: 2-year retention at USD 0.30, sanctions screening at USD 0.64, monitoring at USD 0.09. Veriff says retries are free and there are no setup fees, so the extras are the only surprise.

   Who can actually get through

   Idura works only for people holding a supported scheme identity, such as MitID, BankID, the Finnish Trust Network or the German ID card, and its own materials describe no document scan for everyone else. Veriff names document checks, face matching and liveness detection, and its homepage lists web, iOS and Android SDKs. For a mixed international audience, Veriff reaches people Idura cannot. Veriff's pricing and home pages never mention national eID, so Nordic users would need a second route.

4. 04

   Testing before you pay

   Idura Verify has a free sandbox with test users, no card and no setup, and says testing stays free for as long as you need; payment starts with real users in production. Veriff gives each self-serve account a 15-day trial with 50 live verifications per plan, plus unlimited sandbox tests. Idura's sandbox has no clock on it. Veriff's trial lets you run real documents. Its page lists no permanently free plan, so the trial is the only free route.

5. 05

   Signatures, age checks and screening on the same contract

   Beyond login, Idura names legally binding eID signatures, caller authentication and age verification as products. Veriff names biometric re-authentication for returning users, AML screening for sanctions, PEPs and adverse media, and fraud intelligence. Idura's extras lean towards signing and eID, and Veriff's towards fraud and compliance screening. Which list matters depends on what the business must do once a person is identified, and when. Neither list is long enough, as published, to settle the pair alone for a buyer.

   Depends on the buyer

6. 06

   Parent company and where the contract sits

   Idura ApS is registered in Copenhagen, Denmark, with the company stating Sto, formerly BankID BankAxept, bought it in September 2024. The brand was renamed from Criipto, and criipto.com redirects to idura.eu. Our category data lists Veriff in Estonia, yet Veriff's pricing and home pages name neither a country of establishment nor an owner, so treat that as unconfirmed. Neither vendor states a hosting model on the pages read, so ask both before signing.

   Edge: Idura (formerly Criipto)

Can Idura check a passport for someone without a national eID?

No, not on its own. Our category notes say it verifies nobody who lacks a scheme identity unless they enrol in Freja with a chipped passport. Veriff is built for exactly that case, with document checks and face matching.

Is Veriff's free trial enough to judge it?

It gives 50 live verifications per plan over 15 days, plus unlimited sandbox tests, which is enough to try real documents on a small sample.

There is no permanently free plan on the page we read. Retries are not charged and there are no setup fees.

Does Idura charge extra for the MitID or BankID side?

Yes. The eID providers' fees are billed separately from the plan, for instance EUR 0.037 per MitID transaction and EUR 0.013 per BankID authentication. Paying annually takes 10% off the plan prices but not those scheme fees as far as the page says.
