ZOREAL Identify

Alternatives to PXL Vision

PXL Vision is a Swiss identity verification vendor: PXL Ident verifies a customer in the browser, with "No app download needed", by document quality and fraud checks, passive liveness and face match, optional NFC chip reading and optional manual review, under ETSI TS 119 461 certificates for eIDAS and Swiss ZertES remote identification; PXL Pro is the on-premise or hybrid variant. ZOREAL Identify is a "Continue with ZOREAL" sign-in on standard OpenID Connect, backed by a credential ZOREAL issues after reading a government document chip in the ZOREAL ID app. This page sets certified per-check onboarding proofing, whose result the business keeps, beside a reusable login credential that asserts no legal effect.

Information last reviewed 10 September 2026. Compared: PXL Ident and PXL Pro at onboarding against ZOREAL Identify as a sign-in; PXL Sign, PXL Age and PXL GwG Ident are out of scope beyond a mention.

Where ZOREAL Identify and PXL Vision differ

The guarantee
ZOREAL guarantees that the person is real, is not an AI, exists, and is linked to a government-issued ID. One hundred percent, not ninety-nine point nine. ZOREAL is the only solution in the world today that can give that guarantee.
Certified proofing beside a stated non-claim
PXL Vision lists an "eIDAS Remote Ident ETSI Certificate", a "ZertES Remote Ident ETSI Certificate" and ETSI TS 119 461 for PXL Ident, and its result can feed a qualified electronic signature through PXL Ident for QES. ZOREAL asserts no legal effect anywhere: Identify is not KYC, not a legal signature and not proof of free consent; what it states is a real human verified by ZOREAL, with the strength and recency of that verification in the token.
Browser only, or browser plus app
PXL Ident runs the verification web-based on desktop and mobile with no app download for the person being verified. ZOREAL splits the two sides: the relying party’s flow is a web redirect and an npm package with nothing to allowlist, and the holder enrols and approves in the ZOREAL ID app, where the chip is read over NFC and the credential’s key lives in the phone’s hardware.
Plan tiers beside published amounts
PXL Vision publishes four service plan tiers with support hours, uptime commitments and consulting hours but no prices, and the PXL Ident page asks visitors to request pricing. ZOREAL publishes its Identify prices: free to enrol, free tier a logins; only tier b logins charged.

Side by side

Comparison of ZOREAL Identify and PXL Vision (PXL Ident and PXL Pro), from public materials reviewed on 11 September 2026.

Attribute	ZOREAL Identify	PXL Vision
How the claim is made	Enrolment, in the ZOREAL ID app: the document is photographed, its machine-readable zone read and its chip read over NFC. The server re-runs Passive Authentication against its own trust store built from the ICAO Public Key Directory, so the issuing country’s signature over the data is checked on ZOREAL’s side, and the chip proves possession of its private key. A liveness capture with presentation-attack detection is face-matched 1:1 against the chip portrait. The device key is generated in the phone’s hardware, its attestation is verified at registration, and every evidence call carries an app-integrity assertion. Each verified document yields two holder certificates over that key under ZOREAL’s two roots (ECDSA P-384 and ML-DSA-87), one pseudonymous and one carrying the legal name, valid until the document expires. Login: ZOREAL is the OpenID Provider. The holder approves on their phone, a stock OIDC library validates the ID token against ZOREAL’s JWKS, the relying party sets the assurance per request with acr_values, max_age and prompt, and a request that cannot meet its floor is denied, never downgraded. The subject is pairwise per sector, so one ZOREAL ID is reused at every service without being linkable across them; consent is remembered per sector and re-prompted on any new scope.	The document image is checked for quality and fraud and its data extracted; a selfie is checked for passive liveness and matched to the document; NFC scanning reads the chip where offered; a manual review step (PXL Check) can be added. The flow runs web-based with "No app download needed" and the result is returned to the business, where it can feed a qualified electronic signature through PXL Ident for QES.
Guarantee	ZOREAL guarantees that the person is real, is not an AI, exists, and is linked to a government-issued ID. One hundred percent, not ninety-nine point nine.	PXL Vision lists an "eIDAS Remote Ident ETSI Certificate", a "ZertES Remote Ident ETSI Certificate" and ETSI TS 119 461 for PXL Ident. An iBeta or ISO 30107 test of the passive liveness and a named FINMA approval are not stated in the pages we reviewed.
Who issues the credential	ZOREAL is the issuer of the ID card: a reusable identity credential that logs in to other websites, with the person controlling the scopes each login discloses.	PXL Vision issues no credential to the person; each verification returns a result to the business. A reusable identity carried by the person between services is not stated in the public materials we reviewed (the homepage, the PXL Ident page and the support and service plans page).
What the relying party receives	Two halves. Proof that a real human is there: the ID token asserts this is one human (not one account, not one device), with the strength of that claim in a uniqueness field; that a government document chip was read and its authenticity verified, at the month given; and how this session was authenticated, in acr and amr, whether a live human was captured for this login, a registered device key was used, or a session was reused. And, when the relying party requests it and the person consents on the phone, the verified identity: name, birthdate and document details read from the chip, served from userinfo to a confidential client with a verified domain. The person sees every requested claim before approving, and the relying party receives only the scopes it was granted. It is not KYC, not a legal signature, not proof that the person consented freely, and not proof that the person is the one operating the browser.	A verification result per check, from a "ready-to-use" flow with ">50 predefined workflows" and white-label options; on-premise or hybrid through PXL Pro.
Cost to enrol	Enrolment in the ZOREAL ID app is always free for the person holding the identity: document scan, chip read and liveness enrollment, re-enrollment, recovery and revocation. Every Tier A login is free without limit on every plan: the pairwise identifier, the assurance block, age-threshold answers and nationality, with 1 client configuration on Free. Answering an identity request is always free for the person.	Four service plan tiers, Basic, Standard, Professional and Enterprise, published with support hours, uptime commitments, backend accounts and consulting hours ("20 included consulting hours per year" on Professional) but no prices; the PXL Ident page asks visitors to contact the company for pricing. No per-verification amount is published as of September 2026.
Cost per sign-in	Enrolment is free: "The ZOREAL ID app is always free for the person holding the identity, from enrollment to recovery", and "Document scan, chip read and liveness enrollment" is "Always free" on Free and Premium. Every Tier A login is free, without limit, on every plan: the pairwise identifier, the assurance block, age-threshold answers and nationality (openid, zoreal.age and zoreal.nationality, available to every registered client). Tier A logins are never charged. A charge applies only to a qualified Tier B login, where the relying party requests identity disclosure (the profile scopes, name, birthdate and document details, and email, which require a verified domain, a confidential client and client authentication), on Premium: "Identify · Identity disclosure", "Name, birth date and document details", "One charge for name, birth date or document details, even when several are returned"; "Identify · Fresh-liveness login", "Coming soon"; "Content and contract signing authorization", "Coming soon". Client configurations per website or app: 1 on Free, 10 on Premium; private-key JWT and mTLS client authentication on Premium. Premium is priced per user, monthly or yearly, with two months free on yearly billing; every organization member is a paid Premium seat; metered usage is charged separately. Enterprise: contact us. Answering an identity request is always free for the person. Current prices are on the ZOREAL price list at zoreal.com/pricing. ZOREAL Identify is the cheapest way to do KYC in the market: free to enrol, free to check, paid only for the higher disclosure tiers.	An OpenID Connect or "sign in with" flow is not stated in the public materials we reviewed, so there is no per-sign-in price to quote.
Integration and deployment	Standard OpenID Connect from the provider at id.zoreal.com (discovery, JWKS, token and userinfo endpoints); any stock OIDC library validates the token. One client library per platform: @zoreal/oauth2-react, @zoreal/oauth2-js and @zoreal/oauth2-react-native on npm for the front end, and backends for Node (@zoreal/oauth2-node), Ruby (zoreal-oauth2), Python (zoreal-oauth2), PHP (zoreal/oauth2), Go, Java (com.zoreal:oauth2) and .NET (Zoreal.OAuth2). The React package renders the button and drives the flow itself, with no hosted script and nothing to allowlist in a Content Security Policy. Registration is self-serve in the dashboard (Identify, Assets): redirect addresses, origins and permitted scopes, with domain verification; personal-data scopes require a verified domain and a confidential client.	Web-based on desktop and mobile with no app download (PXL Ident); on-premise or hybrid (PXL Pro); ">50 predefined workflows", backend accounts and white-label options per plan.
Data handling and retention	The ID token carries no personal data, ever: a pairwise pseudonym per sector plus the assurance block. Name, birthdate, document fields and email are served only from userinfo, against a ten-minute single-audience access token with no refresh token, and only to a confidential client with a verified domain; a relying party that needs the data again asks the person again. Age is returned as registered yes-or-no thresholds, never an age or a birth year. The document portrait is a separately gated tier and is biometric data under GDPR Article 9 for the relying party that requests it. Consent is remembered per sector and re-prompted on any new scope or claim, and the consent screen shows only what ZOREAL verified about the relying party. ZOREAL, as the OpenID Provider, sees every login: which holder, which relying party, when.	Not stated on the pages we reviewed (the homepage, the PXL Ident page and the support and service plans page).
Certifications stated	Organization-level, as zoreal.com lists them for Bynn Intelligence, Inc.: SOC 2 (attestation), PCI DSS (SAQ A), GDPR (data protection), ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security certification) and CSA STAR Level One (cloud security self-assessment). No Identify-specific certification or scheme recognition is stated on zoreal.com as of September 2026.	ISO 27001; ISAE 3402 Type 2; eIDAS Remote Ident ETSI Certificate; ZertES Remote Ident ETSI Certificate; ETSI TS 119 461, as listed in September 2026.

Where ZOREAL Identify and PXL Vision agree

Both read the document chip where it is available and both run passive liveness on a face. PXL Ident offers NFC scanning of the chip and passive liveness with face match; ZOREAL reads the chip in the ZOREAL ID app, verifies the issuing country’s signature over the data on its own side, and face-matches a liveness capture to the chip portrait. Neither publishes an accuracy percentage on the pages read.

Both keep the relying party’s side in the browser. PXL Ident states no app download for the person being verified; ZOREAL’s relying-party flow is a web redirect and an npm package with no hosted script, while the holder uses the ZOREAL ID app. Both publish organisation-level attestations: PXL Vision lists ISO 27001 and ISAE 3402 Type 2, and ZOREAL lists SOC 2, PCI DSS (SAQ A), GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and CSA STAR Level One for Bynn Intelligence, Inc.

And both are plain about the legal layer. PXL Vision states its ETSI certificates for eIDAS and Swiss ZertES remote identification as its own; ZOREAL asserts no legal effect anywhere and states no Identify-specific certification or scheme recognition. A Swiss or German business that needs the certificate for a qualified signature or a regulated onboarding keeps PXL Vision for that, and can add "Continue with ZOREAL" for a verified-human login.

ZOREAL Identify may fit you if

PXL Vision may fit you if

You need remote identification certified for Swiss ZertES as well as eIDAS
You want a web-only flow with no app download for the person being verified
You need an on-premise or hybrid deployment (PXL Pro)
You want a manual review step (PXL Check) available alongside the automated flow

Common questions

For the login layer, yes; for certified remote identification under eIDAS or ZertES, no. PXL Ident verifies a person per check for the business that runs it, under an ETSI TS 119 461 certificate, and returns a result the business keeps. ZOREAL Identify is a reusable credential ZOREAL issues after reading a government document chip, presented at every relying party through a standard OpenID Connect sign-in, and it asserts no legal effect. A business that needs the certificate keeps PXL Vision for it.

PXL Vision proves, per verification, that a document image is authentic and its data extracted, that a selfie is live and matches, and, where used, that the chip reads, under an ETSI TS 119 461 certificate for eIDAS and ZertES remote identification. ZOREAL states its position in its own words: ZOREAL guarantees that the person is real, is not an AI, exists, and is linked to a government-issued ID. One hundred percent, not ninety-nine point nine. ZOREAL is the only solution in the world today that can give that guarantee. The ID token behind it asserts that this is one human, that a government document chip was read and its authenticity verified at the month given, and how this session was authenticated, and it carries no personal data unless the relying party requests it and the person consents.

PXL Vision publishes four service plan tiers, Basic, Standard, Professional and Enterprise, with their support hours, uptime commitments, backend accounts and consulting hours, but no prices; the PXL Ident page asks visitors to request pricing. ZOREAL Identify’s published structure, with the amounts on the ZOREAL price list: Enrolment is free: "The ZOREAL ID app is always free for the person holding the identity, from enrollment to recovery", and "Document scan, chip read and liveness enrollment" is "Always free" on Free and Premium. Every Tier A login is free, without limit, on every plan: the pairwise identifier, the assurance block, age-threshold answers and nationality (openid, zoreal.age and zoreal.nationality, available to every registered client). Tier A logins are never charged. A charge applies only to a qualified Tier B login, where the relying party requests identity disclosure (the profile scopes, name, birthdate and document details, and email, which require a verified domain, a confidential client and client authentication), on Premium: "Identify · Identity disclosure", "Name, birth date and document details", "One charge for name, birth date or document details, even when several are returned"; "Identify · Fresh-liveness login", "Coming soon"; "Content and contract signing authorization", "Coming soon". Client configurations per website or app: 1 on Free, 10 on Premium; private-key JWT and mTLS client authentication on Premium. Premium is priced per user, monthly or yearly, with two months free on yearly billing; every organization member is a paid Premium seat; metered usage is charged separately. Enterprise: contact us. Answering an identity request is always free for the person. Current prices are on the ZOREAL price list at zoreal.com/pricing.

Two ZOREAL statements stand side by side on this page. The product definition says: "It is not KYC, not a legal signature, not proof that the person consented freely, and not proof that the person is the one operating the browser." The positioning says: "ZOREAL Identify is the cheapest way to do KYC in the market: free to enrol, free to check, paid only for the higher disclosure tiers." PXL Vision markets PXL GwG Ident for German anti-money-laundering identification and PXL Ident for QES for qualified signatures, which are compliance and legal functions ZOREAL Identify does not perform.

With PXL Ident, no: the vendor states the verification runs web-based on desktop and mobile with no app download. With ZOREAL, the holder enrols and approves in the ZOREAL ID app, which reads the chip over NFC and keeps the credential’s key in the phone’s hardware, while the relying party’s side stays in the browser: a redirect, a QR code or same-device link, and a standard OpenID Connect token.

How we compared

This comparison is based on publicly available information from PXL Vision’s official website, documentation, pricing and published materials, and on ZOREAL’s own published product pages and pricing, as reviewed on 10 September 2026. Features, pricing and availability may change at any time. Verify current details directly with each provider before deciding.

Nothing on this page is legal advice. Which electronic signature method satisfies which law, what level of identity assurance a regulation requires, and whether a content signature or provenance mark meets a given standard all depend on the jurisdiction and the regulator’s guidance. ZOREAL Sign asserts no legal effect for the signatures it records. Confirm your obligations with qualified counsel before choosing a method.
