The demand for online age verification is exploding worldwide as governments enforce stricter online safety laws. From the UK’s Online Safety Act to US state-level laws, Australia’s eSafety regulations, and the EU’s Digital Services Act, millions of websites must now verify users before granting access to 18+ content or selling age-restricted products.
But not all age verification providers are the same. In fact, most share the same fundamental flaws:
❌ High per-verification costs that cripple businesses
❌ Repeated, intrusive checks for users
❌ Storing sensitive data, creating privacy risks
18Verified is different — by design.
🚀 The First Subscription-Based Age Verification Platform
Other providers charge between £0.17 and £2.50 per verification. That means if your site gets 50,000 visitors per month, you could be paying £8,500 to £125,000 a year just for compliance.
18Verified flips the script:
- Flat annual subscription — unlimited verifications for one low price
- No per-user fees — scale without cost spikes
- Predictable expenses — perfect for budgeting and growth
🔐 Privacy-First Technology — Zero Data Stored
Many verification companies store:
- Your full name and date of birth
- Government ID images
- Credit card details
- Verification logs tied to your browsing
This is dangerous. Any stored personal data can be hacked, leaked, or sold.
18Verified never stores your personal details.
Once verified, you get a secure, anonymous token — no name, no ID, no digital footprint.
