If you’re surveying the many identity-verification vendors out there, you’ve almost certainly come across Persona. Founded in 2018, the company serves thousands of clients worldwide—including heavyweights like LinkedIn and Reddit. But is it the best fit for your business?

Today’s market offers plenty of KYC options. If you’re after a Persona alternative that’s quick, transparent and commitment-free, keep reading: over 1,000 companies across the globe now choose Didit, and its footprint keeps expanding.

Disclaimer: The information in this comparison (Didit vs Persona and the best fraud-prevention & KYC alternatives) is based on online research and user feedback from multiple platforms. Content last updated Q2 2025. Spot an error? Let us know.

What does Persona offer?

Persona is a powerful identity-verification platform adopted by a wide range of institutions. Key features include government-ID checks, active liveness detection and AML screening (PEPs & Adverse Media), among others.

However, some pain points remain:

  • Mandatory monthly contracts and lock-ins (Essentials plan)
  • Costs can skyrocket as you add features
  • Lengthy integration times—especially on plans that require support involvement

Users have also reported a relatively high false-positive rate and room for improvement in customer support.

In short, Persona is a solid player in the identity-verification space, but these drawbacks can make it tough to scale.
