Capture, timestamp, prove: create your own certified digital evidence, recognised by case law. Designed in 2015 by a court-appointed digital forensics expert, CertiPhoto lets you securely geolocate and date a photo or video, and guarantee that it has not been altered since it was captured. You can build your own digital evidence, anchored in time and space, to demonstrate your good faith or protect yourself against certain abuses. A technology proven for over 10 years: Every capture is encrypted and embedded in a cryptographically sealed PDF/A-3B certificate: any subsequent modification is immediately detectable. The certificate is signed with an AdES-QC seal and timestamped by a trusted third party (eIDAS-qualified timestamping for professionals). Your evidence is archived for a minimum of 3 years in a secure cloud compliant with the NF Z 42-013 standard. Every certificate can also undergo in-depth analysis after the fact: to date, in every dispute, our fraud-detection algorithms have identified the tampering, enabling fraudulent certificates to be invalidated across a corpus of more than 6 million captures. CertiPhoto is recognised by French case law and is a reference solution for inspections under the French energy savings certificate scheme (CEE), notably since the ministerial order of 13 June 2023. Your certificates are designed to meet the requirements of digital evidence law across the European Union (eIDAS Regulation). Use cases include: * Property inventories: whether you are a landlord or a tenant, secure your move-in and move-out inspections with certified photos and videos, effortlessly. * Insurance claims: build solid, enforceable evidence to strengthen your claim and speed up compensation. * Planning notices: record the installation of your site notice board (building permit, prior declaration...) yourself, and affix a label proving the start of the display period on a certified date. * Valuables: classic cars, paintings, jewellery... prove their existence and condition on a specific date. * Contractors and tradespeople: timestamp and geolocate your work and that of your subcontractors, track your worksites and prevent disputes. For businesses: CertiPhoto is a complete ecosystem: a scalable API for fast integration, intuitive management dashboards, and CertiLink technology to roll out the solution at scale by distributing thousands of automatic sign-in links in one click, with comment injection. CertiPhoto that respects your data: The app gives you several free credits every month, with no ads and no strings attached. It respects your privacy: GDPR-compliant, with a zero-knowledge architecture. Pricing is public and transparent, with no subscription and no commitment, and your credits never expire. Note: CertiPhoto requires a phone whose software integrity can be verified (non-rooted / non-jailbroken devices). For more information, please contact the publisher, PROBANTIA SAS.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Timemark at every 4 days against CertiPhoto's every 2 months. Timemark also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 1) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). CertiPhoto's advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
