Alternative to Facephi (2025): Didit, the fastest, most modular and transparent identity verification platform

Facephi is one of the most recognized names in the identity verification space thanks to its biometric features. Founded in Spain in 2012, it has positioned itself as a key vendor in sectors such as banking, fintech and public administration, driven by its facial recognition technology and digital authentication platform.

However, the market has changed significantly in recent years and now demands open, fast and modular solutions that can adapt to the real needs of today’s companies. That’s why many businesses are asking whether Facephi is still a recommendable option in 2025.

In a context where technical and compliance teams demand more control, cost predictability and agility, Didit emerges as a modern alternative among identity verification solutions: AI-native, developer-first and frictionless for both companies and end users.

Note: This comparison is based on public documentation, verified reviews and official sources from both providers (Facephi and Didit). Updated November 2025.

What does Facephi offer?

Facephi presents itself as a digital identity platform built on biometrics that combines document verification, facial recognition and authentication tools. Its main product is Facephi Identity Platform, a complete ecosystem with modules for onboarding, KYC and biometric login.

That said, there are a few aspects that can become challenges or limitations, especially for companies that need more flexibility:

• Limited pricing transparency: Facephi does not provide a public pricing page; all quotes are fully customized, which makes it harder to compare against other vendors or forecast costs. Some users also report that pricing can be on the higher side compared to more recent solutions.
• Dependence on user hardware: Some companies report a strong dependency on the user’s hardware, especially the camera. Results on older devices can lead to false positives or false negatives.
• Vulnerability to fraud: Certain reviews mention that Facephi may not be fully robust against spoofing or deepfake attacks.
• Corporate focus: The commercial model is clearly geared towards large enterprises or institutions with hefty compliance budgets, which can become a barrier to entry for other types of companies.

Why is Didit different?

Didit leads a new generation of identity verification platforms, built fully natively from the ground up to match modern digital flows and the real-world demands of today’s companies.

Its approach combines full automation, radical pricing transparency and a developer-first experience that removes most of the technical and commercial friction still present with traditional vendors.

Some of Didit’s key advantages:

• It offers the first and only free KYC plan in the market, with no cost and no usage limits.
• It has a public, predictable pricing model, so you always know what you will pay for each use of premium features.
• Fast, easy integration via REST APIs and no-code Workflows, allowing companies to go live in a matter of minutes.
• Truly global coverage, accepting documents from over 220 countries and territories.
• End-to-end automation, with custom flows tailored to each business’s unique characteristics, without the need for constant manual reviews.
• Access to logs, PDF reports and full traceability for complete regulatory compliance.

While Facephi still maintains a more closed approach and relies on manual processes (often pushing launch dates back by several weeks at least), Didit democratizes access to identity verification with a unique philosophy: start free (truly free), launch fast and only pay for what you actually use.
