How Toden compares | Toden Docs

Toden is trust infrastructure for digital businesses: verify people and businesses, detect fraud, make risk decisions and monitor what changes. This page summarises what that covers for a developer choosing a provider. The full, sourced comparisons live on the Toden website.

Last verified: 12 October 2026. The website comparisons cite public product and pricing sources for every entry. Vendors change their products, so a comparison can go out of date. If something is wrong, tell us and we will correct it.

What Toden covers in one platform

The website compares providers on 16 rows in three groups. The table lists each row and what Toden does on it. Every Toden entry is checked against the product.

Verification

Row	On Toden
Government database checks	Identity numbers checked against a government record in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire
Document and biometric verification	Document capture with liveness and face matching. Documents from 190+ countries
Passport chip (NFC) reading	The chip is read on a phone and authenticated on the server against the issuing country’s signature, for the countries the trust list covers
Biometric re-authentication	A returning user proves it is still them with a live selfie matched against their enrolled reference
Business verification with key people	A registry lookup plus the directors and beneficial owners behind the company. Company registries in 48 countries, and each person can be screened and verified

After onboarding

Row	On Toden
Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening	Customers screened at onboarding, with a reviewer deciding each match
Transaction and event monitoring	Transactions, logins and other events scored against rules your team writes and backtests on stored events
Investigation cases	Alerts grouped into cases with an owner, deadlines by priority and notes that cannot be edited
Suspicious activity reports (SAR and STR)	Drafted from the case in the goAML structure with an XML export. The person who drafts a report cannot be the one who files it
Ongoing re-screening and re-verification	Re-screening on a schedule, and re-verification falling due from the document’s expiry date

Platform and commercials

Row	On Toden
Decision rules with a recorded trace	Rules approve, decline or send to review, with a record of which rule decided. Every published set of rules is versioned
Workflow builder	The flow is assembled in the console and changed without an app release. A published workflow runs from a hosted link or by id in the SDK
SDKs for web and mobile	SDKs for web, React Native and Flutter
Self-serve sandbox	Opens when you sign up, with test IDs for pass and failure outcomes
Pay-per-check pricing	Prepaid, with the checks that ran itemised on every verification
No monthly minimum	No minimum monthly spend and no platform fee

How the website marks other providers

The comparison pages use three marks, and it helps to know what each one means before you read them.

Mark	Meaning
Tick	The vendor’s own site, documentation or pricing page names the capability
Partial	It is an add-on, limited to some plans, or narrower than the row
Blank or cross	It could not be confirmed from the vendor’s public pages on the review date, or the published terms differ from the row

A blank or a cross does not mean the vendor lacks the capability. It means we could not confirm it from public pages on the date shown. Where that is the case the page says so and suggests you ask the vendor.

Each provider page lists its sources. Published list prices are quoted only with their source and date, and the pages do not state that any vendor is dearer or cheaper.

This page does not restate what each provider offers. Those entries carry a source and a review date, and they belong on the page that keeps both up to date.

Test it on your own traffic

A comparison table is a starting point, not a decision. The useful test is your own traffic:

Build against the sandbox. It opens at sign-up and is never charged. See Sandbox testing.
Import a sample of customers you have already verified.
Run both platforms side by side.
Compare the results before you commit to anything.

For the security side of a vendor review, see Security and compliance and Status and reliability.
