Aim your smartphone at the barcode on a Driver License to instantly read, verify, parse and display the results: Underage, Expired ID, Alerts, etc. Age ID comes with Intellicheck's patented ID Check software to verify the authenticity of an ID by reading and verifying the format of the information encoded in the bar codes on state and provincial driver licenses, identification cards, military and government IDs. It can be used to reduce the chance of receiving fines & penalties to merchants who unknowingly sell age-restricted products to underage purchasers. It keeps track of who was scanned and when.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Engage Protect at 3.9 against Age ID's 2.5. Engage Protect also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Age ID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (67% vs 40%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Engage Protect sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Age ID asks for nothing beyond the download.
Engage Protect holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Age ID has 92 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Age ID's written reviews are positive against 40% of Engage Protect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Age ID ships an update every 2 months, Engage Protect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
