Onfido vs. Risk Proof

Onfido is well suited for integrations within a mobile app for automated document processing and validation e.g. driver's licenses, passports etc. Onfido is less well suited for web applications since the quality and accuracy of the checks is very dependent on the quality of the image captured which in general is less high quality from a webcam.

Risk proof is well suited for quickly finding out potential money laundering [clients] and how much risk would it pose to get into a deal with the client. Risk proof is less suited around some ethical practice assessment of an organization. Such a scenario needs more manual intervention rather than tool assessment.

Ultimately went with Onfido due to previous experience with applications & products that had worked with Onfido and from research Onfido appeared to be one of the main providers in the space providing reassurance internally on use of relatively new technology. Onfido security and compliance was also standout helping pass internal audits by cybersecurity and legal. Downside with Onfido is that the pricing model is complex and relies on accurate predictions of platform/user growth to secure the best price-per-check which is challenging in a startup environment.

It was the tool used in the organization for risk assessment of any potential leads and deals. Before the tool, we used to analyze any risks using manual effort and approach which used to take a lot more man-hours and less reliable quantitative analysis for similar kinds of deals and scenarios.
