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. Age ID works with devices that have an 8MP camera or higher (iPhone 6S or better). It also works with the 5th generation iPad and iPad Mini.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Age ID at 67% against Accela Mobile's 8%. Age ID also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Accela Mobile's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Accela Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Age ID has 91 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Age ID's written reviews are positive against 8% of Accela Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
