Cerfinity vs Scantrust

Cerfinity authenticates products and records their custody through a provenance record linked to tamper-evident seals with unique cryptographic identities. A customer can check an item by tapping an NFC seal or scanning a QR code without downloading an app or creating an account. The seal can record an irreversible change when packaging is opened, and time-stamped entries can document custody at authorized checkpoints such as producers, distributors, logistics partners, and retailers. Authentication options include NFC, covert micro-mark authentication, and QR verification. Brands can access supply-chain views and counterfeit-concentration data. Listed sectors include spirits and wine, luxury fashion, graded collectibles, specialty food, pharmaceuticals, beauty, and electronics. The pharmaceutical offering includes serialization support, cold-chain monitoring integration, track-and-trace, recall management, and pharmacy-system integration. Cerfinity says its records can support EU Digital Product Passport, EUDR, and FSMA Rule 204 traceability needs. A qualifying brand can use a 30-day pilot with 500 certificates and white-glove onboarding. The Founding Partner plan is $249 a month; NFC seals are billed separately by unit.

Scantrust provides connected packaging and e-label tools for companies working to engage customers, address counterfeiting and improve supply-chain transparency. Its product scope includes industrial goods, consumer packaged goods, wine and beverage, and lubricants. E-label plans include compliance templates, translations into 24 languages, customizable landing pages and content updates that do not require QR code reprinting. An e-label is tied to one SKU, though units of that SKU can share it across countries. The Enterprise plan lists smart redirection, analytics, bulk creation, QR Manager, custom URL and domain, onboarding and user teams. Scantrust also describes Digital Product Passport tools using QR generation, URL management, landing pages and dynamic content. Its REST API can connect passports to PIM, ERP and e-commerce data. Business 30 costs €230 a year for 30 e-labels, Business 50 is €360 a year for 50, and Business 100 is €500 a year for 100; prices exclude VAT. A 90-day trial is listed.
