MetaMap is one of the best-known identity verification platforms, especially across Latin America. Since its origin (as Mati ID), it has evolved into a full suite of KYC, AML, and biometric verification products. Its value proposition aims to give companies a holistic view of user identity by combining data sources, documents, and biometric signals.
As regulatory pressure and digital competition intensify in 2025, many companies are asking whether MetaMap can keep pace with innovation and the demand for agile integrations. In this new context, Didit emerges as the option that redefines identity verification: more open, faster, and built developer-first from day one.
Note: This comparison is based on public documentation, verified reviews, and official sources from both providers (MetaMap and Didit). Updated November 2025.
What does MetaMap offer?
MetaMap combines document verification, facial biometrics, AML checks, and onboarding flow management. The company stands out for its footprint in Latin America and its focus on regulated markets.
However, despite its market maturity, MetaMap shows some gaps you should weigh before adopting the platform:
Unclear pricing. MetaMap does not publish pricing and requires custom quotes, which complicates forecasting and quick comparisons with other vendors.
Limited analytics. The dashboard is quite constrained; some users report it doesn’t provide enough depth to monitor IPs, devices, or other fraud-related metrics, forcing teams to combine it with external sources.
Complex initial setup. Getting started with MetaMap can be challenging; according to some companies, it requires extra technical effort and dependencies on third-party integrations.
Geographic coverage centered on LATAM. While strong in the region, its network of international sources and partners is narrower than newer global solutions.
This is what MetaMap’s dashboard looks like.
Why is Didit different? An open, modular, frictionless alternative
Didit is the first identity verification platform that’s both AI-native and developer-first, designed to give engineering and compliance teams total control. The promise is clear: customizable flows, open APIs, public pricing, and an unlimited free KYC plan.
Standout advantages:
Unlimited free plan: the only one on the market with KYC at no cost and no volume limits.
Public, transparent pricing: non-expiring prepaid credits, no contracts, no monthly minimums.
Go live in minutes: No-Code workflows or open REST APIs for full control.

The clearest difference between Didit and MetaMap lies in the operating model: while MetaMap requires quoting and signing an agreement, Didit lets you sign up, build your flow, and ship to production in minutes.
