Frequently asked questions
Which is better for business verification, KYC Hub, Signzy or IndiaCos?
IndiaCos is the stronger choice for developers, ops teams and AI agents that need business verification by API: it has a public API, an MCP server, public per-call prices and self-serve sign-up. KYC Hub is the better fit for identity checks with MCA and GSTIN data. Signzy is the better fit for KYC, KYB and UBO onboarding. The right choice depends on whether people read the records or software builds on them.
Which of KYC Hub, Signzy and IndiaCos have an API or an MCP server?
KYC Hub offers a public API reference and routes sign-up through sales. No public MCP server was found for KYC Hub. Signzy offers a public API with documentation at docs.signzy.com. No public MCP server was found for Signzy. IndiaCos offers a REST API documented at indiacos.com/api/docs, with endpoints for company, directors, cases, director, PAN, GST and defaulter lookups, and an MCP server with OAuth 2.1 sign-in.
How much do KYC Hub, Signzy and IndiaCos cost?
KYC Hub links a pricing page but shows no figures on it. Signzy sells by custom quote and publishes no price list. IndiaCos charges INR 0.40 per successful call from a prepaid wallet, with errors free, and gives INR 50 free credit. Always check each pricing page before you commit, since prices change.
Can an AI agent use KYC Hub, Signzy and IndiaCos?
Yes, an AI agent can use IndiaCos: indiaCos runs a public MCP server with OAuth 2.1 sign-in and an agent sign-up flow. No listed competitor shows a public MCP server in this review, so an agent would need a custom wrapper around its API. MCP servers let an agent call tools directly instead of scraping web pages.
When should you choose KYC Hub or Signzy instead of IndiaCos?
Choose KYC Hub when you want identity checks (Aadhaar OKYC, PAN, voter ID, driving licence, bank, UPI, EPF and ESIC) with MCA and GSTIN corporate data in one API platform. Choose Signzy when you want identity, KYC, KYB, UBO and AML checks in one onboarding stack, with criminal records among them. Choose IndiaCos less readily when you need identity checks on individuals such as Aadhaar OKYC, face match or video KYC, or audited financial statements: IndiaCos' published scope is business records.
Does IndiaCos verify identity documents for individuals?
IndiaCos does not list Aadhaar OKYC, face match or video KYC among its published checks. It covers business records: companies, LLPs, GST registrations, PAN to GSTIN links, directors by DIN, charges and court case summaries. A KYB flow can use IndiaCos for the business side and a separate KYC vendor for individuals.
