Didit vs Unico: The Best Alternative to Verify Your Users in Brazil
Are you looking for an identity verification solution specialized in Brazil? If so, you’ve probably heard of Unico, a well-known provider recognized for its Brazilian face database and its risk scoring service based on photo + CPF. But is that the right solution for you if your top priority is fraud reduction and faster go-to-market?
In Brazil, identity fraud is the #1 challenge for companies. Businesses lose revenue due to impersonation, deepfakes, and organized networks operating at scale. In this context, Didit has become the best option to fight fraud in Brazil, thanks to its use of biometric signals, liveness detection, validation in official sources, and a global fraud pattern database that is constantly updated.

What does Unico offer?
Unico stands out for its risk scoring specialization using user photo + CPF. Its value proposition is to return a risk classification (e.g., high/low) so that the client company can decide the next steps (for example, requesting additional documents).
Where it usually falls short for today’s Brazilian market needs:
- Not an end-to-end verification system: It does not comprehensively cover document verification, AML screening, or other checks.
- No self-service platform or workflows: Its rigidity requires requesting changes from the provider and renegotiating contracts.
- Opaque pricing and long onboarding: Companies must go through sales and negotiate packages, resulting in an integration process that may take weeks or even months.
- Very limited to Brazil: Not designed as a global verification and compliance solution.
If your priority is fraud reduction through true automation, controlling friction according to risk, and international scalability, Unico’s approach may fall short.
