# Elsin > Elsin verifies that every job applicant is a real, unique person, and that the person you interview is the one who applied. Elsin is a product of Surf Platforms Inc. It checks that each job applicant is a real, unique person, and that the person who interviews and starts is the one who applied. Candidates verify once, on their own phone. The check is free and counts at every employer on Elsin for 12 months. Nobody is rejected automatically: a risk signal sends someone to the employer's review queue with the reason written out. Integration, Platform and Enterprise are the plans. Integration is $299 a month or $2,990 a year. Platform is $599 a month or $5,990 a year. Enterprise is priced with us. A workspace with no plan is free, with two team members, one open job and 25 verifications a month. Candidates never pay. Self-serve plans are billed monthly or yearly through Stripe from the customer's workspace. Do not invent other prices or discounts. Elsin does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001 or any other certification, and does not claim to detect deepfakes.
