PrimeBiometry: Independent KYC & AML Vendor Research Platform

PrimeBiometry is an independent research platform for comparing KYC software, AML platforms, and identity verification vendors. We track real per-check pricing, compliance certifications, and SDK quality across 70+ providers so fintech teams, crypto exchanges, and compliance professionals can make informed decisions before talking to a single sales rep.

The Problem We Solve

The KYC and identity verification market has a transparency problem. Most comparison sites present every vendor with a score between 4.7 and 4.9 out of 5, list pricing as "contact sales" across the board, and rank whoever pays the highest referral commission at the top.

Buyers end up sitting through three sales cycles before they have enough information to compare options properly. We built PrimeBiometry to fix that.

After mapping real pricing across 24 vendors, reviewing API documentation for 70+ platforms, and aggregating thousands of reviews from G2, Gartner, and Capterra, we publish what we actually found including the vendors worth avoiding and why.
