SenseCrypt vs HYPR

SenseCrypt and HYPR are both phishing-resistant passwordless platforms built on FIDO2/WebAuthn, but SenseCrypt adds template-free face authentication that verifies the live person and stores no biometric image or template. HYPR is a mature enterprise passwordless MFA vendor focused on workforce access.

Both replace passwords with cryptographic passkeys, so both close the credential-and-phishing gap that industry breach research repeatedly ties to the majority of incidents. The core divergence is what proves the human: HYPR leans on the device and its local biometric unlock, while SenseCrypt runs its own on-device face match — independently evaluated in the NIST FRTE (Face Recognition Technology Evaluation) — and keeps only a sealed, non-reversible face token.

SenseCrypt is built by Seventh Sense, a Singapore deep-tech company. HYPR is a US-based enterprise identity vendor.

SenseCrypt and HYPR both deliver phishing-resistant, passkey-based passwordless sign-in, but they differ most on biometric storage, independent certification, and pricing transparency. The table below summarizes the practical differences.

SenseCrypt stores no face image and no biometric template — only a sealed, unlinkable, non-reversible face token that contains no PII and that even Seventh Sense cannot reverse. This is the single clearest difference between the two platforms.

That template-free design means there is no biometric database to breach, subpoena, or correlate across services. Face matching runs on the device, and the token that leaves it cannot be turned back into a face.

HYPR takes the standard FIDO approach: the passkey is bound to the device, and the user unlocks it with the device's own biometric (such as Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello) or a PIN. That biometric stays on the device's secure hardware — a sound model — but it means the assurance of "the right person" rests on the device platform rather than an independently certified, template-free face check. For teams whose compliance or privacy posture asks "do you store a biometric?", SenseCrypt can answer a plain no.

Both SenseCrypt and HYPR are phishing-resistant on their passkey paths because FIDO2/WebAuthn binds each credential to the origin, so a lookalike site cannot harvest a usable secret. The FIDO Alliance positions this origin binding as the mechanism that defeats credential phishing.

SenseCrypt is phishing-resistant on the passkey path via WebAuthn origin binding, and it layers a live-face check so a stolen or borrowed device is not enough to sign in. HYPR is likewise built on FIDO Certified passkeys and has a long track record of phishing-resistant workforce deployments.

Higher-assurance guidance treats phishing-resistant authenticators and biometric factors as stronger building blocks; both products aim squarely at that bar.

HYPR is strongest as an enterprise-proven, workforce-first passwordless MFA platform with deep desktop-login and directory integrations and a mature deployment playbook for large organizations. It is a fair benchmark and the closest peer to SenseCrypt.

Choose SenseCrypt when you need to prove the live person — not just the device — while storing zero biometric data and citing independent certification. It is the stronger fit for privacy-sensitive CIAM and any buyer who must answer "we hold no face template."

SenseCrypt is a full identity provider speaking OIDC, OAuth 2.0 (with PKCE and PAR), SAML 2.0, SCIM 2.0, and CIBA, integrating through standard metadata files and discovery URLs. This lets it act as the IdP of record, not just an authenticator.

That breadth means SenseCrypt can drop into an existing stack for federation (OIDC/SAML), automated user lifecycle (SCIM), and decoupled / transaction authentication (CIBA), with RBAC, audit logs, and multi-tenant isolation built in.

HYPR integrates with enterprise IdPs and directories and supports FIDO2/WebAuthn with SSO and SCIM provisioning connectors; historically its center of gravity has been the authentication layer alongside an existing IdP rather than replacing it. Confirm current protocol coverage against HYPR's own documentation before finalizing an architecture.

SenseCrypt is priced at a flat $1 per user per month with a 30-day free trial and no card required, and a roughly 60-second live demo is available at sensecrypt.com/try-it-live. The pricing is public and per-user simple.

HYPR uses custom enterprise pricing, typically quoted through sales rather than published as a flat per-user rate. Buyers comparing total cost should weigh SenseCrypt's transparent per-user model against HYPR's negotiated enterprise agreements for their seat count.
