Authentific vs Origify

Authentific is an enterprise platform combining QR-based product authentication, certificate lifecycle management, and high-security printing. It issues unique product identities with cryptographic signatures for authentication, tracking, diversion control, and consumer verification. Its certificate system covers document design, approvals, issuance, verification, revocation, renewal, bulk issuance, and public checks. The maker says signing keys are generated and stored in FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules. Enterprise scans can validate signatures offline using cached or preloaded public keys, while consumer scans require internet access. The platform supports DSCSA serialization and EPCIS-compatible records, along with EU FMD serialization and verification data requirements. Deployment options include multi-region and sovereign cloud, plus on-premise configurations that can support air-gapped verification. Listed connections include SAP and Oracle ERP connectors, a REST API, and leading MES platforms. Standard QR printing equipment and label applicators are supported without proprietary hardware. Authentific targets enterprise manufacturers, typically those producing millions of units annually, and is not suited to low-volume or individual-product authentication. Pricing is scoped by issuance volume, access tier, production scale, lines, geography, and modules.

Origify identifies products from the natural microstructures on their surfaces, giving companies a way to authenticate and trace items without attaching labels or markers. To register an item, a camera device or production-line capture records its surface; Origify analyzes the image and saves a unique ID in the cloud. Later, a user scans the item with the Origify App or a verification device to receive authenticity feedback. The maker lists metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, leather, and coated surfaces, and names fields from automotive and industrial manufacturing to luxury, medtech, consumer goods, high security, and logistics. Companies can use Origify data for process and quality monitoring, supply chain transparency, and counterfeit detection. The app is free to users because participating companies pay for it. Company plans include Small at €99 a month, Medium at €199 a month, and Large at €649 a month; each includes a set number of authentications and charges for extra ones. Origify supports Android and iOS, with SDKs, a Flutter plugin, and a white-label app option.
