C.E.R.T.O.
No monthly subscription, no recurring fee, no expiry. You buy packs of slots and spend them whenever you need them: 1 slot for a single item (a file, an image, a screenshot, a recording), 2 for a session (a website, a mailbox, a server, a cloud, a chat). The qualified eIDAS InfoCert seal is included in every bundle.
A slot is the unit used to pay for an acquisition: you capture a piece of content (a web page, a chat, an email…) and get an evidence bundle — a sealed package holding the content, its digital fingerprint (a code that changes if even a single bit is altered, so any tampering becomes obvious) and the timestamps that attest its date, the most important of them eIDAS-qualified. Each type of acquisition costs 1 or 2 slots, always fixed: see the table below.
Buy whenever you want, use whenever you need. Slots stay on your account until you spend them: no subscription to renew, no budget that resets at month end. Ideal for those who only capture evidence when a case comes up.
Bundles transmitted to the server are kept for 5 years with public verification: anyone (a judge, the opposing expert) can independently re-check their integrity, at no extra cost. The exceptions are Deep Web (Tor) acquisitions and screen recordings, whose content is by design not stored on the server, and web packages over 500 MB, which are not transmitted: in those cases the bundle stays on the computer of whoever acquired it, while fingerprints and reports remain available in the client area.
Two tiers only, 1 or 2 slots. The cost never depends on size, number of files, messages or duration.
New in 3.3.3. Every bundle carries the qualified eIDAS InfoCert seal, included. WhatsApp, Telegram, FTP and cloud drop from 5 to 2 slots; email is no longer charged per message: 2 slots per acquisition, whatever the number of messages.

Every bundle includes the qualified eIDAS InfoCert seal: it is the timestamp on the manifest that closes the package, and it costs no extra slots. The other two timestamps in the bundle still come from public timestamping authorities (Sectigo, DigiCert, GlobalSign). If InfoCert does not respond, the seal is applied by a public TSA and the bundle declares it. With 2 slots on your balance you can use any module; with only 1, the 1-slot modules. Prices apply from C.E.R.T.O. 3.3.3; earlier versions apply the previous price list: update the program.
Every pack unlocks the same 11 acquisition modules and the same legal guarantees. Only the per-slot price changes.
Prices exclude VAT. Slots are shared between the C.E.R.T.O. desktop app and the LOCUS mobile app on the same account. For needs above 1,000 slots or firm/company billing, get in touch.
No. C.E.R.T.O. has no subscriptions. You pay once for a pack of slots and use it without an expiry date.
Registration and download are free. You install the app, explore the 11 modules, and pay only when you produce your first evidence bundle.
No. The cost in slots depends on the type of acquisition, never on the size of the content: a web page costs 2 slots regardless of its size, a WhatsApp acquisition 2, whether the chat has ten messages or ten thousand, a mailbox 2 whatever the number of messages, a screen recording 1 whatever its length. The price is predictable up front.
A complete test of any module: a web acquisition, a mailbox, a WhatsApp or Telegram chat, an FTP server, a cloud, or two 1-slot acquisitions (files, images, screenshots, screen recordings). The slots are credited when you confirm your email.
No. From version 3.3.3 every bundle is closed by a seal carrying a qualified eIDAS InfoCert timestamp, included in the cost of the acquisition. The other two timestamps in the bundle still come from public timestamping authorities. If InfoCert does not respond, the seal is applied by a public TSA and the bundle declares it.
