The short version: Sumsub publishes its prices and leans hard into iGaming (it claims 400+ active iGaming clients), while Jumio quotes on request and pitches its depth with large sportsbooks, including US state approvals. Both publish SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS on their trust pages. Which suits you depends mostly on volume, market and whether you want a price you can see before the first sales call.
Everything below comes from the two vendors’ own sites, checked on 4 November 2026. We have not run either product.

Product scope
Both vendors cover the core player onboarding stack: document verification, selfie and liveness, face match, and PEP and sanctions screening. The differences are at the edges.
Sumsub bundles more of the post-onboarding work. Its iGaming page lists ongoing AML monitoring, proof of address “in any script”, transaction monitoring, case management, device intelligence and risk scoring. It also offers document-free verification in 15+ countries using government or bank app logins plus a liveness check, and quotes average verification times of 20 seconds with a document and 4.5 seconds without.
Jumio frames gambling around age and conversion. Its gaming page describes date-of-birth extraction for age checks, AML screening against sanctions, PEP and adverse media lists, and “course correction” that lets a player retake an unreadable ID or selfie, which Jumio says lifts conversion by 15% to 20%. It also lists optional 1+1 and 2+2 checks for enhanced due diligence, and Brazil CNH Digital verification with a CPF check. Jumio’s homepage adds a reusable-identity product (selfie.DONE), risk signals and cross-transaction risk.
Neither gambling page mentions source-of-funds or affordability checks. If your licence conditions require them, plan for a separate provider or ask both vendors directly.
Pricing
This is the clearest difference. Sumsub’s pricing page lists:
- Basic: $1.35 per verification, $149 monthly minimum. ID verification, liveness and face match, reusable KYC, email and phone checks.
- Compliance: $1.85 per verification, $299 monthly minimum. Adds AML screening, ongoing AML monitoring and address verification.
- Custom: price on request. Non-document verification, database validation, business verification, transaction monitoring and fraud prevention.
Sumsub’s FAQ says you are charged only for successful verifications and offers a 14-day trial with 50 free checks. One caveat in its own terms: a “user verification” is charged at the full plan rate even if you don’t use every included feature.
Jumio does not publish prices. Its old pricing URL returns a 404, and its pages route buyers to sales.
A worked example: a new operator verifying 1,500 players a month on Sumsub’s Compliance plan would pay 1,500 × $1.85 = $2,775 at list price. To compare, you would need a Jumio quote for the same scope (document, liveness, AML screening and monitoring) at the same volume.
Certifications and assurance
Sumsub’s trust centre is the longer list: ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018, ISO 22301 (business continuity), ISO 31000 and ISO 9001, plus SOC 1 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, a PCI DSS attestation and iBeta presentation attack detection reports at Levels 1, 2 and 3.
Jumio’s trust centre shows SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS 4.0.1. For US sports betting, Jumio’s gaming page points to state-level licensing or permission as the more relevant credential for that market.
Ask either vendor for the certificate scope and the latest audit report under NDA. A badge on a trust page tells you a certificate exists, not what it covers.
Which fits which operator
- Start-up or mid-size operator in Europe, LatAm or Asia, budget-sensitive: Sumsub’s public pricing and iGaming focus make it easy to model costs before launch. Pair this with our white label cost guide if you are still choosing a platform.
- Operator entering US sports betting states: Jumio’s stated US state coverage is the stronger published signal. Check its state list against your target states during procurement.
- Large multi-market operator: both will negotiate. Run a proof of concept on your own traffic and compare pass rates, manual review rates and cost per approved player.
Also consider. If neither fits, Veriff publishes self-serve pricing from $0.80 per check, and Incode names FanDuel, BetMGM and Kindred on its gambling page. See the full comparison of KYC providers for gambling operators.
