Trustamp vs Truepic

Two ends of the same standard.

Truepic is the enterprise gold standard for content authenticity — and they're a C2PA founding member. We're not trying to be Truepic. We're trying to bring the same open standard to the people who can't book a sales call or sign an enterprise contract.

When to use Truepic

You're an enterprise. You run hundreds or thousands of remote inspections, surveys, or audits; you need hardware-backed provenance that's already on the C2PA Trust List; you have a procurement process and a budget; and you may want to embed authenticity into your own app via the Lens SDK. Truepic is the most mature, most trusted option for that, full stop.

When to use Trustamp

You're an individual or a small crew. You're a delivery driver, a field inspector, a contractor, or a small insurance team. You can't book a sales call or sign an enterprise contract — you just want to download an app, shoot a photo with a verifiable time + GPS watermark, and send someone a link that proves it. You want a free tier for everyday watermarks and to pay ~$2/mo only when you need real verification.

The honest part

Truepic is ahead of us where it counts most for big organizations: their signing certificate is on the C2PA Trust List today, with hardware attestation behind it. Our certificate is currently self-issued while our Trust List application is in progress — so today, C2PA-aware tools will read a Trustamp credential and confirm its hash and timestamp, but mark the issuer as "not yet on the trust list."

What we offer instead is access: the same open standard, in a $2/mo app you can download right now, with a visible watermark and a public verify link — no sales call, no contract, no enterprise minimum. Different product, same belief that provenance should be open and verifiable anywhere.
