Skip any vendor that:

• Can't explain their verification methods in plain language.
• Has no audit log feature.
• Won't give a straight answer on pricing.
• Claims to be "fully compliant" but can't cite specific laws.
• Requires a long-term contract without a trial.
• Has no customer support or documentation.

Remember, age verification isn't just a feature—it's your legal obligation. If a tool feels sketchy, it probably is.
