The top products in each, ranked on the same indicators.

Data anchoring and timestamping

Services that anchor a hash of your data to a public blockchain or ledger to prove it existed and has not changed, compared on pricing, proofs, privacy and legal standing from their public pages.

  1. Hedera Consensus ServiceOrdered, consensus-timestamped records on a public ledger at a published $0.0008 per message, with no contract or vendor account.
  2. OriginStampAnchor your hashes to Bitcoin and Ethereum through one REST call, without running wallets, nodes or Merkle batching yourself.
  3. BernsteinCourt-oriented proof of authorship for IP files: Bitcoin anchoring plus EU qualified timestamps, without the vendor seeing your files.

Payments and billing

Payment processors and merchants of record for software, compared on fees, tax handling, payouts and exit from their public pages.

  1. StripeCard payments, subscriptions and tax calculation as separate per-transaction lines, with the lowest total of the three in our scenario: $500 on $10,000.
  2. BraintreeCards, PayPal and Venmo through one gateway, with the lowest card fees in our scenario: $368 on $10,000 a month, subscriptions included.

Why Proofyo

What every product page gives you

  1. The value, up front

    Every product starts with one paragraph on what you’re really paying for, and who gets the most out of it.

    Example: Supabase Auth

    Supabase AuthWorth the price

    100,000 monthly active users on the $25 Pro plan, SSO priced per user, and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and a HIPAA BAA on the self-serve Team plan.

  2. Checked against the source

    Every fact comes from the vendor’s own pricing, security and docs pages, dated and the same for every product. Hands-on runs by our agent add sign-up and API evidence next.

    Example: Supabase Auth

    • 100,000 users for $25Pricing page (2026-10-15)
    • SSO priced per user, not per connectionPricing page (2026-10-15)
    • SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA from TeamSecurity and pricing pages (2026-10-15)
  3. Comparable side by side

    The same structure and indicators for every product in a category, so any two line up.

Method

How we check

The products listed today are checked from their public pages; no hands-on run is published yet.

Read the methodology
  1. Step 1

    Read the public pages

    We read each vendor’s pricing, security and docs pages and record every plan and fact with the page it came from. Anything the pages do not say stays blank.

  2. Step 2

    Score them the same way

    Every product in a category is scored on the same indicators with fixed formulas, and each score shows the inputs behind it.

  3. Step 3

    Sign up and call the API

    Hands-on runs add what pages cannot show: our agent signs up as a new customer, captures each screen and sends each documented request once. Keys are masked.

  4. Step 4

    Date it

    Prices, access facts and scores carry the date we checked them, so you can tell how fresh each number is.
