The demand for online age verification is exploding worldwide as governments enforce stricter online safety laws. From the UKβs Online Safety Act to US state-level laws, Australiaβs eSafety regulations, and the EUβs 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:
β High per-verification costs that cripple businesses
β Repeated, intrusive checks for users
β Storing sensitive data, creating privacy risks
18Verified is different β by design.
π The First Subscription-Based Age Verification Platform
Other providers charge between Β£0.17 and Β£2.50 per verification. That means if your site gets 50,000 visitors per month, you could be paying Β£8,500 to Β£125,000 a year just for compliance.
18Verified flips the script:
- Flat annual subscription β unlimited verifications for one low price
- No per-user fees β scale without cost spikes
- Predictable expenses β perfect for budgeting and growth
π Privacy-First Technology β 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 β no name, no ID, no digital footprint.
π One Verification β Global Access
With other providers, you might have to verify yourself over and over for each website.

- Verify once again access to all participating websites
- Cross-site compatibility β works for multiple industries and countries
