Free is three promises, not one plan
Every signed document strengthens the coalition. We only charge for enforcement tools, and we only win when you win.
Every tier signs with an Encypher Certificate Authority and Time Stamp Authority on the official C2PA Trust Lists. Your provenance validates as trusted out of the box. Encypher is conformant in all four C2PA program categories.
Free Publisher
Unlimited signing for normal publishing, plus publisher attribution and public verification, once your publisher identity is proven.
- Unlimited signing for normal publishing use, fair-use guardrails apply
- WordPress plugin, auto-sign on publish, with a reader verification badge
- Public verification pages and a public verification API, no login required
- Invisible signatures that survive copy-paste and redistribution
- Opt in to the coalition and earn when partners license your content; the majority of every deal goes to you (terms in your agreement)
Publisher attribution stays free. Your domain-backed publisher identity appears once your publisher proof is accepted.
Mark Trial
Mark 1,000 declared AI-output assets a month with disclosure and public verification, signed with the Encypher platform identity.
- 1,000 declared AI-output assets per month included free
- 5 Article 50 compliance certificates per month at /mark, included free
- Mark text and media by hand, no API key needed
- AI disclosure and public verification on every marked asset
A trial, not an allowance you keep. Trial output is signed with the Encypher platform identity: your organization name reaches disclosure, certificates, and public verification only on a paid Mark plan with an accepted identity proof.
Brand Trial
Seal sample text or media and verify it publicly, signed with the Encypher platform identity and carrying no AI label unless you declare one.
- Seal a sample document or image and verify it publicly
- Trace a sample recipient copy and check it for leaks
- No AI label on brand-owned content by default
Test the technology on samples. Production controls and your organization's identity are paid and require an accepted identity proof.
Enterprise and compliance content is never indexed for coalition licensing; coalition enrollment is opt-in for publishers. Learn how the Coalition works. On WordPress? Install the plugin (20 minutes).

Mark pricing
One Mark product, four self-serve volumes
Ordinary human publishing is free and uncapped, and it is not a Mark plan. The Mark Trial is the free evaluation of declared AI-output marking. Paid plans buy a monthly allowance of declared AI-output items and add organization identity, cryptographic timestamps, and unlimited Article 50 compliance certificates. Enterprise adds unlimited volume and portfolio controls.
Original human publishing remains free under fair-use guardrails: WordPress plugin, reader badge, detection dashboard, and public verification.
None of that counts against the Mark Trial. Mark usage is measured separately: one unit is one declared AI-output item submitted for marking.
Mark plans
How to compare: The Mark Trial includes 1,000 declared AI-output items and 5 Article 50 compliance certificates each month. Paid monthly volumes are Starter 10,000, Standard 100,000, Growth 500,000. Every paid plan also includes unlimited Article 50 certificates, a dedicated organization signing certificate, and RFC 3161 cryptographic timestamps.
Every paid Mark plan includes a dedicated organization signing certificate chained to the Encypher CA and RFC 3161 cryptographic timestamps from the Encypher TSA. Our CA and TSA are on the official C2PA Trust Lists.
