## Which one, for what

### ComplyCube (B)

Good for: An agent that creates clients, uploads documents, starts document, identity and AML screening checks and reads results for a regulated business, with low entry cost ($99 a month) and a scripted sandbox.

Watch for: One API key per environment with no scopes. The docs say keys carry many privileges

### Didit (BB)

Good for: A team that wants document, liveness, screening and business registry checks from one API with public prices and no sales step, and an agent that has to set itself up.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 88 against 78
- Agent ergonomics, 69 against 60
- Security & auth, 76 against 52
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 27
- Maintenance & community, 82 against 74

Also in its favour:
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better
- Runs on your own machine
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: Three incidents marked major on status.didit.me from 22 July to 4 September 2026, each a partial outage of the core APIs traced to the primary database

## Verdicts

**ComplyCube.** A sandbox with its own key and scripted outcomes, a public OpenAPI spec, Markdown docs and an audit log API suit an agent running verification checks. Each environment has one unscoped key, no idempotency keys were found, and the only published terms are undated and read as website terms.

**Didit.** A self-serve verification API with public per-check prices, key registration by API, scoped keys and a 365-day audit log. The status page shows three incidents marked major between 22 July and 4 September 2026, each a partial outage of the core APIs, and the sub-processor list isn't public.

## Before you call either

### ComplyCube

1. Send the key bare in the `Authorization` header, with no Bearer prefix. Keys start `test_` or `live_`
2. Create a client first, then documents or live photos for it, then `POST /v1/checks` with the client and upload IDs
3. Stay under 10 requests a second live and 5 in the sandbox. On 429, back off exponentially with jitter, starting at 30 seconds
4. A badly formed filter returns 200 with no results, so check filter names before trusting an empty list
5. Checks are asynchronous. Subscribe to webhooks, verify the `ComplyCube-Signature` HMAC-SHA256 header, and expect duplicate and out-of-order events

### Didit

1. Register with `POST https://apx.didit.me/auth/v2/programmatic/register/`, then `verify-email` with the emailed 6-character code. Use a real inbox, because reserved test domains return 500.
2. Send the key as `x-api-key` to `https://verification.didit.me/v3/`. The JWT from registration works only on `apx.didit.me`.
3. Create a workflow before `POST /v3/session/`. `workflow_id` is the only required field, and an unfinished session with the same `vendor_data` is returned again.
4. Read results from webhooks and use `GET /v3/session/{sessionId}/decision/` for back-fill. Every per-feature result is a plural array.
5. The MCP server at `https://mcp.didit.me/mcp` takes OAuth sign-in only, never an API key. Approve `didit:verification` alone when the task doesn't change workflows or keys.
