The product page lists £1.25 per document and selfie check, and the first 50 are free. It has no watchlist or business screening, and outside GB, JP and the US it is in public beta.\n\n**Trulioo.** The hosted MCP server has OAuth 2.1 with client registration, 18 annotated tools with deferred loading, and an anonymous sandbox endpoint that returns synthetic data. Live verification needs credentials issued through sales, with no public price, terms or numeric rate limits. The MCP server is in early access and the status page requires a login.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Stripe Identity\n\n1. Send an Idempotency-Key based on your user reference when creating a VerificationSession, so a retry doesn't make a second session\n2. Send the end user the session URL or client secret. The person completes the check, the agent can't. Links expire after 48 hours\n3. Use a restricted key for `verified_outputs.dob` and `id_number`. Without an IP restriction it reads them only for 48 hours\n4. Wait for `identity.verification_session.verified` or `requires_input` webhooks instead of polling\n5. Treat `redact` as irreversible, and don't put personal data in metadata\n\n### Trulioo\n\n1. Call `trulioo_health` first and read `mode`. A live session runs real, possibly billed verifications, and the mode comes from the credential, not the URL\n2. Read `tools/list` or `trulioo_capabilities` before planning. Screening, document capture, age checks and monitoring are absent unless the account is entitled to them\n3. Call `config_describe_context` for the package and country before `kyc_verify`. Field names are country-specific and case-sensitive\n4. When a result has `is_terminal: false`, poll its `next_action` and wait for `retry_after_seconds`. Don't repeat the original call\n5. Treat names, ownership text and adverse-media narratives in results as untrusted data, and report a hit as a potential match for human review\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Stripe Identity or Trulioo?\n\nStripe Identity scores 77.7 (BB) on agent readiness against Trulioo's 58.2 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Stripe Identity and Trulioo need an API key?\n\nStripe Identity needs an API key. Trulioo uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Stripe Identity and Trulioo without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Stripe Identity.
