Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Basis of preparation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Red Violet, Inc. (“red violet” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, On March 26, 2018, Fluent, Inc. (“Fluent”) completed a spin-off of its risk management business from its digital marketing business by way of a distribution of all the shares of common stock of Fluent’s then wholly-owned subsidiary, red violet, to Fluent’s stockholders as of the record date and certain warrant holders (the “Spin-off”). The distribution occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to such common stock and warrant holders, each of whom received one share of red violet’s common stock for every 7.5 shares of Fluent’s common stock held on the record date or to which they were entitled to under their warrants, which resulted in a distribution of a total of 10,266,613 shares of red violet common stock. e Initial Measurement- Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control Transfer Date Measurement The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2019. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date included in the 2018 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. The Company has only one operating segment, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “ Segment Reporting Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. For periods prior to the Spin-off, these financial statements were prepared on a consolidated and combined basis because certain of the entities were under common control. Although the Spin-off was completed on March 26, 2018, the Company has reflected the Spin-off in these financial statements as if it occurred on March 31, 2018 as the Company determined that the impact is not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The historical condensed consolidated and combined financial results presented prior to the Spin-off may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved by the Company had it operated as a separate, standalone entity prior to the Spin-off. The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements presented prior to the Spin-off do not reflect any changes that may occur in the Company’s operations in connection with or as a result of the Spin-off. (b) Recently issued accounting standards As an emerging growth company, the Company has left open the opportunity to take advantage of the extended transition In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842),” which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” Topic 842 is effective for public entities and private entities in the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, respectively, on a modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a total operating lease obligation on its condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $3.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, upon the adoption. Refer to Note 9, Leases, for further details. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will become effective for public companies beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” which requires an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. It also requires the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, on a retrospective or prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss per share	2. Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and is calculated using the treasury stock method for unvested shares. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation in the loss periods as their effects would be anti-dilutive. Prior to the Spin-off, the financial information of red violet represented the consolidated and combined figures of red violet and its subsidiaries. red violet only had 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which Fluent owned. On March 26, 2018, upon the Spin-off of red violet, an aggregate of 10,266,613 shares of red violet common stock were distributed to Fluent stockholders and certain warrant holders. This number of shares remained outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and is utilized to calculate loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as shown in the table below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	5. Revenue recognition On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts that were not completed contracts at the date of initial application. There was no impact on the opening accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 due to the adoption of Topic 606. Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide on demand solutions to its customers by leveraging its proprietary technology and applying machine learning and advanced analytics to its massive data repository. The pricing for the customer contracts is based on usage, a monthly fee, or a combination of both. Available within Topic 606, the Company has applied the portfolio approach practical expedient in accounting for customer revenue as one collective group, rather than individual contracts. Based on the Company’s historical knowledge of the contracts contained in this portfolio and the similar nature and characteristics of the customers, the Company has concluded the financial statement effects are not materially different than if accounting for revenue on a contract by contract basis. Revenue is recognized over a period of time since the performance obligation is delivered in a series. The Company’s customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as and when provided. Furthermore, the Company has elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient, available within Topic 606, as its measure of progress, since it has a right to payment from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance completed-to-date. The Company's revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 62% and 52% of total revenue was attributable to customers with pricing contracts, respectively, versus 38% and 48% attributable to transactional customers, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 64% and 48% of total revenue was attributable to customers with pricing contracts, respectively, versus 36% and 52% attributable to transactional customers, respectively. Pricing contracts are generally annual contracts or longer, with auto renewal. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, those amounts are classified as deferred revenue. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of deferred revenue was $56 and $26, respectively, all of which is expected to be realized in the next 12 months. In relation to the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018, $10 and $26 was recognized into revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, $3,626 of revenue is expected to be recognized in the future for outstanding performance obligations, primarily related to pricing contracts that have a term of more than 12 months. $980 of revenue will be recognized in the remainder of 2019, $1,639 in 2020, $1,004 in 2021, and $3 in 2022. The actual timing of recognition may vary due to factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company excludes variable consideration related entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations and contracts and recognizes such variable consideration based upon the right to invoice the customer. Sales commissions are incurred and recorded on an ongoing basis over the term of the customer relationship. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	6. Income taxes The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. red violet is a “C” corporation, while its subsidiaries are all limited liability companies. Before the Spin-off, red violet and its subsidiaries were consolidated with Fluent for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, for purposes of these financial statements, the income tax provisions prior to the Spin-off were prepared assuming the entities filed separate tax returns. The Company’s effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. All of the Company’s income tax filings since 2015 remain open for tax examinations. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Share-based Compensation	7. Share-based compensation On March 22, 2018, the board of directors of the Company and Fluent, in its capacity as sole stockholder of red violet prior to the Spin-off, approved the Red Violet, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which became effective immediately prior to the Spin-off. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized to be issued under the 2018 Plan. The primary purpose of the 2018 Plan is to attract, retain, reward and motivate certain individuals by providing them with an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company and to incentivize them to expend maximum effort for the growth and success of the Company, so as to strengthen the mutuality of the interests between such individuals and the stockholders of the Company.

As of June 30, 2019, unrecognized share-based compensation expense associated with the granted RSUs amounted to $12,334, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.2 years.

Wayfair, Inc. et al, overturned prior law which required physical presence for nexus and endorsed economic nexus as a basis for South Dakota to require online merchants to collect and remit sales taxes, even if the business does not have an in-state physical presence (the "Wayfair Decision"). As of June 30, 2019, the vast majority of states have enacted or announced their own interpretation of the Wayfair Decision.

The Company establish es accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and it disclose s the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluate s , among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. The Company do es not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon its analysis of potential sales and use tax labilities, the Company determined that there were no matters that required an accrual as of the balance sheet date, June 30, 201 9. The Company estimates that adverse decision s, if any, related to state sales and use tax examination s could result in a possible loss up to $ 213 . The Company may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

Basis of Preparation	(a) Basis of preparation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Red Violet, Inc. (“red violet” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, On March 26, 2018, Fluent, Inc. (“Fluent”) completed a spin-off of its risk management business from its digital marketing business by way of a distribution of all the shares of common stock of Fluent’s then wholly-owned subsidiary, red violet, to Fluent’s stockholders as of the record date and certain warrant holders (the “Spin-off”). The distribution occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to such common stock and warrant holders, each of whom received one share of red violet’s common stock for every 7.5 shares of Fluent’s common stock held on the record date or to which they were entitled to under their warrants, which resulted in a distribution of a total of 10,266,613 shares of red violet common stock. e Initial Measurement- Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control Transfer Date Measurement The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

All significant transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. For periods prior to the Spin-off, these financial statements were prepared on a consolidated and combined basis because certain of the entities were under common control. Although the Spin-off was completed on March 26, 2018, the Company has reflected the Spin-off in these financial statements as if it occurred on March 31, 2018 as the Company determined that the impact is not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	(b) Recently issued accounting standards As an emerging growth company, the Company has left open the opportunity to take advantage of the extended transition In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842),” which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” Topic 842 is effective for public entities and private entities in the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, respectively, on a modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a total operating lease obligation on its condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $3.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, upon the adoption. Refer to Note 9, Leases, for further details. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will become effective for public companies beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” which requires an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. It also requires the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, on a retrospective or prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
