Veryfi API

Veryfi API turns business documents into structured data for software and operations teams building document intake into their workflows. Its strongest fit is recurring finance or expense processing that needs broad document coverage and international receipt and invoice extraction. The $500 monthly Starter minimum makes paid use a serious commitment rather than a casual upgrade.

Overview

Veryfi extracts data from invoices, bills, purchase orders, checks, receipts, business cards, contracts, tax forms, bank statements, and other unstructured documents. Receipt and invoice extraction includes line-item details across 91 currencies and 38 languages, useful for finance workflows handling transactions across markets. The API returns structured JSON; exports also include Markdown.

An API transaction covers one document of up to 15 pages. Longer documents need a custom account configuration, so workflows centered on lengthy files may require a different arrangement. Files can be up to 20 MB, and scanned PDFs are supported.

Key features

API and capture options

RESTful APIs and SDKs suit teams embedding extraction into an application or existing workflow. Veryfi Lens supports native iOS capture with Swift and Android capture with Kotlin, alongside wrappers for Cordova, React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic. A browser camera option supports capture in browser-based applications across multiple platforms. This range is valuable when users submit documents from different devices, though it is more relevant to teams building capture into their own software than to someone seeking a simple standalone scanning app.

Integrations and safeguards

Integrations include QuickBooks, QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage, Saasu, Slack, Box, Rippling, Zapier, and Google Drive, giving teams several routes to connect extraction with finance and work-management tools. Veryfi states that its platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and compliant with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PIPEDA. It uses TLS 1.2 and 1.3, salted password hashing, and AES encryption at rest and in transit, and says processing is fully automated without humans gaining unauthorized access to customer data.

Veryfi offers 99.995% uptime and publishes real-time web and API service status. A Fraud Detection Suite add-on provides real-time fraud prevention at document entry. These capabilities matter for teams with reliability or fraud-control needs, but the fraud feature is an add-on rather than a stated part of the base plans.

Pricing

Veryfi uses a freemium model, with a 14-day trial and paid plans from $500/mo. The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to 100 documents per month, all document types, limited storage, and email support. It is a practical way to assess extraction on modest volume, but the document cap and limited storage constrain sustained or growing use.

Starter costs $500 a month, billed at a $500/mo minimum commitment. It covers fewer than 5,000 documents per month, all document types, limited storage, and email support. That ceiling and minimum commitment suit teams with meaningful recurring volume; it is a steep step for smaller workloads, and the plan retains limited storage.

Growth has custom pricing and includes all document types, unlimited storage, custom data retention, model training, SLA options, SAML SSO, and email and Slack support. It is the stronger fit for organizations that need those storage, retention, training, or support options, but its custom pricing requires a separate budget discussion. The free and Starter plans offer a lower-cost entry, but neither includes the Growth plan's unlimited storage or broader enterprise-oriented options.

Platforms

Veryfi supports Android, iOS, web, and API. The combination of mobile and browser capture with API access supports both application-integrated intake and document submission across common device types.

Who it's for

Veryfi targets fintech, consumer packaged goods, healthcare, construction, and other industries. It is best suited to teams that process recurring business paperwork, need structured extraction across document types, and can benefit from API integration or embedded mobile and browser capture. Small teams with low volume may find the free cap sufficient for evaluation, but those needing more capacity face a $500/mo minimum; users primarily processing documents over 15 pages should account for the custom configuration requirement.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad extraction coverage, including receipts and invoices with line items across 91 currencies and 38 languages, suits varied and international finance workflows.
• Pros: REST APIs, SDKs, mobile capture options, browser capture, and a wide integration set give product teams several ways to fit document intake into existing systems.
• Pros: The free tier allows up to 100 documents monthly across all document types, providing a usable low-volume starting point.
• Cons: Starter's $500/mo minimum commitment is a high threshold for teams whose paid workload is modest.
• Cons: Free and Starter both have limited storage, and the free plan's 100-document monthly cap limits ongoing use.
• Cons: Transactions cover no more than 15 pages; longer documents require custom configuration.

Verdict

Choose Veryfi API if your team needs broad, multilingual document extraction embedded in its own products or workflows, and the monthly volume justifies the Starter commitment. Its combination of line-item coverage, capture options, and integrations is compelling for recurring business document intake. Look elsewhere if you need inexpensive paid processing, routinely handle documents longer than 15 pages without custom configuration, or require more than limited storage on the lower-cost plans.
