Why 18Verified Is the Only Age Verification Platform That Shifts the Cost to Users – And Why That Matters
As the UK’s new age verification laws come into effect, thousands of websites are scrambling to find a compliant solution that won’t break the bank. But while most age verification providers charge businesses on a per-check basis, 18Verified is doing things differently — and better.
💡 The Only Subscription-Based Age Verification Platform
At 18Verified, we’ve flipped the model.
Instead of charging businesses for every age check — which can become incredibly expensive as traffic grows — we charge users a simple, affordable subscription: just £2 per month.
This small fee gives verified users unlimited access to all websites in our trusted network, using just one login.
Why This Benefits Everyone
✅ For Businesses:
- No pay-per-check fees
- Predictable yearly costs (API from £500/year, Plug & Play from £300/year)
- No financial penalties for growing traffic
- Instant legal compliance with UK age verification laws
✅ For Users:
- One-time verification
- Access to all 18Verified sites
- No repeated ID uploads
- No facial recognition
- Full privacy and control
The Problem with Traditional Providers
Most providers charge websites £0.50–£2 per check, which means the more successful your site becomes, the more you pay. It penalises growth — and forces many businesses to pass those costs onto users anyway, or face losing revenue.
With 18Verified, your costs stay fixed — and your users handle their own verification, once and for all.
