## 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.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 84 against 62
- Agent ergonomics, 60 against 43

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install

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

### Veriff (C)

Good for: A team that needs document and selfie verification with public per-verification prices and a trial, and that can run a webhook receiver and HMAC signing.

Ahead on:
- Security & auth, 63 against 52
- Payments & pricing, 40 against 27

Watch for: No server-side SDK and no MCP server. Official packages cover only browser and mobile capture

## 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.

**Veriff.** Per-verification prices are public from $0.80, with a 15-day trial of 50 sessions and no card. Each endpoint page is Markdown with an OpenAPI 3.0 fragment. There is no server SDK, MCP server or idempotency key, most calls need an HMAC signature, and the status page shows nine incidents between 20 July and 7 October 2026.

## 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

### Veriff

1. Take the base URL from the integration's API keys page. Send X-AUTH-CLIENT on every call and store verification.id from POST /v1/sessions
2. Sign POST and PATCH bodies, and the session ID on GET and DELETE, with HMAC-SHA256 in X-HMAC-SIGNATURE. POST /v1/sessions needs no signature
3. Stay under 30 session creations a minute on Self-Serve, 600 on Enterprise. A 429 carries code 1004
4. Don't blindly retry POST /v1/sessions. Each call makes a new session, which is billed on a live integration
5. Poll GET /v1/sessions/{id}/decision until `verification` is not null, or accept webhooks within 5 seconds and treat duplicates as normal
