Verdicts

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.

Vouched

Vouched publishes per-transaction prices from $0.75 with a $300 monthly minimum and a 14-day trial, and its docs carry llms.txt, OpenAPI fragments and filterable job search. Rate limits have no number, there is no idempotency key, server SDK or security.txt, and the API status page shows a 70-minute rise in rejections on 1 October 2026.

Before you call either

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.

Vouched

  1. Use the private key in X-API-Key against verify.vouched.id or verify.eu.vouched.id, matching the account's region
  2. Check Find Jobs before resubmitting. There is no idempotency key and each job is billed
  3. Pass withPhotos=false and select fields on Find Jobs to keep responses small
  4. In a test account, use the name test pass for a clean result and any other name for a failure
  5. Back off on 429. All endpoints share one limit and no figure is published
