## Which one, for what

### 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:
- Reliability, 80 against 75
- Agent ergonomics, 69 against 46
- Security & auth, 76 against 60
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 35
- Maintenance & community, 82 against 75

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

### Socure RiskOS (B)

Good for: A company in the United States that wants one decision from combined KYC, document, fraud and watchlist checks through a single evaluation call.

Ahead on:
- Transparency & trust, 68 against 63

Watch for: No service agreement or API terms are published. The only terms pages are website terms of use and end-user terms for document capture

## Verdicts

**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.

**Socure RiskOS.** A public OpenAPI file, llms.txt, 15 documented error codes and dated release notes cover a ten-operation REST API, and Socure Launch publishes prices from $0.80 an evaluation with a free sandbox. API keys carry no scopes, no idempotency header is defined, no service terms are published, and production stays at zero requests until Socure activates it.

## Before you call either

### 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.

### Socure RiskOS

1. Send `Authorization: Bearer <key>` to `https://riskos.sandbox.socure.com/api/evaluation` for tests and `https://riskos.socure.com/api/evaluation` for live checks. The two environments use separate keys.
2. Use dummy data only in the sandbox. It returns predefined results, connects to no live data source and expects the documented test values.
3. Store the `eval_id` from every `POST /api/evaluation` response. No list or search endpoint exists to find it later.
4. On 429 wait the seconds given in `X-Retry-After`. Do not blindly resend a failed `POST /api/evaluation`, because no idempotency header is documented and Launch bills each initiated evaluation.
5. The MCP server at `https://mcp.riskos.socure.com/sandbox` reads docs, workflows and webhooks with its own MCP Server Key. It cannot run evaluations or read results.
