This is really cool (especially considering that the pricing is way better than Persona/Stripe Identity)! That being said, what security measures does Didit take, and has it gone through e.g. auditing or SOC 2?

Thanks! We have ISO27001, iBeta PAD, and about to receive SOC 2. We also do bug bounty programs, and pen-testing.

Can't see any mention of bug bounties on your site - do you have any details you could share?

This is interesting... how does it differ from companies like YOTI ( https://www.yoti.com/ ) who I believe are trying to solve a similar problem at scale?

Yoti has an ID wallet + age estimation solution, pretty much focused in the UK.

They don't have a complete identity verification platform.

What’s your extraction layer under the hood? BlinkID? Regula? KBY? Another IDV provider? Self-hosted OCR model/extraction layer? This is an interesting concept but the identity space is extremely crowded. It’s hard to find a specific niche and aggressively scale it unless you already have a strong end-user persona in mind, precisely because interacting with “the real world” is super nuanced and complicated at any app…

self-hosted

it is crowded yes, but you can always do a better product take market share, expand TAM, and eventually create new markets (eg identity wallet ..)

Great framing — the "get a sandbox key in 30 seconds" UX for identity is exactly what the space needed.

Tangentially: you're probably building your billing/payment backend in parallel. If you haven't wired that yet, we just shipped a NestJS backend kit (Stripe + Prisma + PostgreSQL + Docker) that's saved teams significant boilerplate time. One-time, production-ready. Happy to share if useful — haylayn.com

Good luck on the launch!
