In terms of software development, Yoti stands pretty much standard with the rest of the age verifiers that I've worked with. Yoti did have a variety of options, and they appear to partner with an mDL/OpenID4VP provider to make use of various wallets. I am not sure if those are acceptable for age verification purposes though.
They use a pretty plain API, which creates a session, redirects the user, and then your app captures the data on the postback/webhook.
The app appears to be the real selling point. Not a lot of age verifiers, and virtually no KYC operators, provide a method to avoid repeat verifications. In some states it's unavoidable, I think.
Their support for developers leaves a little bit to be desired. They seemed wholly uninterested in letting me learn their system, which was disappointing. They do not have a sandbox account for simple age verification. By contrast, other providers not only provide SDKs, but they also provide sandbox accounts. I can't sell a product to my clients that I don't know completely.
If a client wants me to integrate their system, and can get a contract signed with them, then I think it would be pretty simple to integrate.
EDIT: From a technological perspective, I think Age Estimation leaves A LOT to be desired, no matter who you go with. I am not a lawyer, but I just don't see how using AI models to guess the age based on a video feed is at all risk averse.
