Middesk alternatives

Middesk is a solid choice, but not for everyone. Businesses that only need to verify individual new hires, or anyone operating outside the US. Here's what to look at instead.

Persona

Configurable identity verification that doesn't assume you're a bank

Startup and small business track: 500 free verifications a month, then roughly $1 per verification after that. The published Essential plan starts around $250/month flat for core products. Growth plan (adds the full KYB and fraud tool suite) is custom-quoted.8.0/10

Socure

Bank-grade identity fraud scoring, built for volume most SMBs don't have

Contact the vendor for current pricing — Socure sells through an enterprise sales process, with a multi-week evaluation and a contract that assumes meaningful transaction volume. Reported unit costs drop below a dollar per verification at scale, but annual commitments start in the mid five figures. Not set up for a small business to self-serve.7.3/10

Alloy

The switchboard that runs every other identity vendor, if you're big enough to need one

Contact the vendor for current pricing — contracts are platform-fee plus usage, sized for banks and fintechs, with a five-figure annual floor and a real procurement cycle. The underlying data-vendor costs (each check you orchestrate) are passed through or bundled on top.7.0/10
