Kora IDV

How Kora IDV pricing works

A monthly plan (platform access + a small included allowance) plus usage billed at your plan’s rate. Higher plans give lower rates and suit higher volume. A Kora IDV verification is a single SDK process that runs document scan, face match, and liveness detection together in one pass — the three are not sold separately; the per-step prices below simply show how the per-verification rate is composed. A database lookup (e.g., NIN, BVN, phone) is a separate, optional feature billed on its own — it is not part of a verification. The Free tier is sandbox only — for testing, not production.

Full identity verification (document + face + liveness): $1.15 / $0.82 / $0.49 per verification on Starter / Growth / Enterprise. Annual prepayment takes 15% off the plan fee.

Enterprise API-as-a-service: if you already hold a library of documents and photos, we also offer AML, sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening (and standalone database lookups) directly via our API — separate from the SDK verification flow. Contact sales.
