ComplyCube Review 2026: Pricing, Features & Alternatives

PrimeBiometry Assessment

ComplyCube holds UK DiATF certification at every confidence level, not just the H1A profile that most competitors stop at – a real requirement for higher-assurance identity services operating under UK law, not a marketing point. Its ISO 30107-3 Level 2 and iBeta PAD Level 2 certifications are verifiable on the official iBeta confirmation letter registry, alongside a fresh FSQS registration that opens procurement doors at UK financial services buyers where the vetting bar is a hard gate. The current customer roster – Citi, Accenture, AXA International, Lyca Mobile, and Al Baraka – reflects that enterprise procurement reach; those are logos that pass the “would a compliance committee sign off on this vendor” test on their own.

The $196M Series D is the largest funding round among the vendors in this category. Combined with the 5.0 rating across 68 G2 reviews – a rating holding past 50 reviews is genuinely uncommon – the company is in stable enough shape to sign a multi-year commitment with.

Where ComplyCube loses ground is pricing transparency above the Core tier. Growth and Enterprise are sales-quoted, and NFC chip verification lives there. Buyers with NFC as a hard requirement need to go through a sales process to get pricing, which rules out self-service evaluation.

ComplyCube vs. Sumsub, iDenfy, and Entrust IDV

Verified pricing from official pages, July 2026.

	ComplyCube	Sumsub	iDenfy	Entrust IDV
Starting price	$99/mo (1,000 checks)	$1.35/check, $149/mo min	$1.35/check, $135/mo min	Contact sales
AML included	From Starter ($99/mo)	Compliance tier: $1.85/check	Add-on, priced separately	Contact sales
NFC chip verification	Growth+ (contact sales)	All plans	Add-on	Yes (all plans)
iBeta PAD Level 2	Confirmed on registry	Confirmed (May 2025)	Badge shown, not on registry	Confirmed
UK DiATF certified	All confidence levels	Certified	Not certified	H1A profile only
Free trial	14 days, 50 checks	14 days, 50 checks	14 days, 10 checks	None

The pricing comparison between ComplyCube and the per-verification vendors is not subtle. A company running 1,000 identity checks with AML screening per month pays $99 on ComplyCube Starter. The same volume on Sumsub’s Compliance tier runs to $1,850/month. That spread gets wider as volume grows.

The calculus flips below roughly 200 checks per month. At 100 checks, iDenfy and Sumsub charge their minimums ($135-$149), which undercuts ComplyCube’s $99 floor but not by much. For teams still at early-stage volumes, the per-verification model offers more flexibility before scaling.

Entrust IDV (formerly Onfido) has no published pricing and no free trial. It is the oldest name in the space and likely the most expensive option. The H1A-only DiATF certification is also a limitation compared to ComplyCube’s full-profile coverage.

Pricing Analysis

ComplyCube is one of the few IDV vendors publishing full subscription tiers with AML bundled at every level – the per-check math flips against per-verification competitors at Core volumes.

Tier	Price	Included checks/mo	AML included	Advanced features
Starter	$99/mo	1,000	✓	API + audit trails + RBAC
Core	$299/mo	8,000	✓	Fraud intel, PoA, batch
Growth	Contact sales	Custom	✓	NFC, eID, biometric enrolment, global DB
Enterprise	Contact sales	Unlimited	✓	Dedicated infra, SLA, white-label

Starter at $99 for 1,000 checks with AML bundled is what makes the price comparison work: Sumsub Basic at $1.35/check covers ID verification but charges a separate Compliance rate of $1.85/check for AML. Getting both from ComplyCube at Starter pricing means a team doing 500 checks/month with full AML compliance pays $99 instead of $925.

Core at $299/month expands to 8,000 checks and adds fraud intelligence, proof of address, and batch processing. That works out to about $0.037 per check at capacity – hard to beat with per-verification pricing at that volume.

Growth is where the math changes. NFC chip verification, eID authentication, and global database checks all require Growth, which is sales-quoted. If those features are on your requirements list, request pricing early and negotiate the combined IDV + AML bundle. Vendors at this tier typically move on volume commitments above 5,000 checks/month.

One underappreciated lever: the 14-day free trial includes 50 actual checks, which is enough to test a complete integration including the SDK, API, and dashboard before committing to a paid tier.

FAQ

What makes ComplyCube’s NFC verification different from standard document scanning? NFC chip reading extracts biometric data directly from the secure chip embedded in ePassports and modern national ID cards. The chip stores a signed copy of the holder’s data that cannot be cloned. Optical scanning reads the printed surface, which can be forged. NFC verification confirms the chip data matches the physical document and the person presenting it, satisfying higher-assurance requirements under UK DiATF that optical scanning alone cannot meet.

Is ComplyCube certified for biometric liveness detection? Yes, at iBeta PAD Level 2 (ISO 30107-3), which is the standard required for UK DiATF identity service provider certification. The certification is listed on the official iBeta confirmation letter registry. This is a verifiable fact, not just a marketing claim.

Does ComplyCube support KYB (Know Your Business) in addition to KYC? Yes. Business verification covers UBO identification, company registry checks, and sanctions screening for legal entities. It is available from the Core tier, making it accessible without a sales conversation for companies needing both individual and business onboarding.

What is the difference between Core and Growth? Core at $299/month gives you 8,000 checks, fraud intelligence, proof of address, and batch processing. Growth adds NFC chip verification, eID authentication, global database checks, and unlimited workflows, but the price is sales-quoted. If your use case requires only standard document verification with AML, Core covers it. Growth is the minimum tier if NFC or eID authentication is a hard requirement.

How does ComplyCube handle GDPR data subject deletion requests? ComplyCube provides API-level session deletion with data management workflows and offers data processing agreements for EU/UK customers. Confirm data residency options (UK vs. EU data centers) during procurement if your compliance team has specific regional storage requirements. As a UK-registered entity with ISO 27001 certification, DPA execution is standard in enterprise contracts.

Which enterprises trust ComplyCube in production? ComplyCube’s public customer roster includes Citi, Accenture, AXA International, Lyca Mobile, and Al Baraka – a mix of tier-1 financial services, professional services, insurance, and telecom operators. That roster is a stronger enterprise-procurement signal than most mid-tier KYC vendors publish, and it aligns with the recent FSQS registration that formalises supplier qualification for UK financial services buyers.

Is ComplyCube’s ISO 30107-3 Level 2 certification verifiable? Yes. Both the ISO 30107-3 Level 2 and iBeta PAD Level 2 certifications appear on the official iBeta confirmation letter registry. That external verifiability puts ComplyCube in the same audit-defensible tier as Sumsub and Entrust IDV, and ahead of vendors that display the badge without a registry entry. For UK DiATF submissions, this is the specific evidence pack auditors ask for.
