pricing · four tiers
Every tier issues a signed attestation on the public Quidnug trust graph. Tier depth determines what is attested, how often we re-check, and which badge your customers see.
For developers and single-domain hobbyists. Email-verified attestation, one domain.
For teams that need verifiable DNS ownership and a predictable recheck cadence.
For regulated operators who need third-party legal-entity attestation alongside DNS.
For consortiums, federations, and anyone running their own domain tree on the public network.
Bulk pricing for 10+ domains, non-profit discounts, and annual pre-pay discounts all available. All plans include access to the open-source protocol, node, SDKs, and docs at no additional charge.
FAQ
You can. The protocol is open source and the validation logic is public. You pay us so that your customers see an independent third party vouching for your domain control, instead of only your own signature. Same reason an HTTPS cert issued by Let's Encrypt carries more weight than a self-signed one.
Per domain. If you validate reviews.yourapp.com and oracles.yourapp.com, that is two Pro subscriptions. Bulk pricing kicks in at 10+ domains; contact us.
One fully qualified name that resolves to a zone you control. Wildcards under that name are included (one price covers foo.reviews.yourapp.com and bar.reviews.yourapp.com). A separate apex like oracles.yourapp.com is a separate validation.
Yes. The free tier is email-verified and works indefinitely on one domain. Upgrade when you need DNS verification, a faster recheck cadence, or the entity-attested badge.
Yes; we publish a prospective revocation after a 14-day grace period. Re-subscribe at any time and we re-run the validation flow.
Every signed edge is verifiable without contacting us; a valid signature from the quidnug root quid is a valid signature whether quidnug.com is up or down. If we go away, your last-published attestation remains cryptographically valid until its expiry or the moment we revoke it.
The difference between tiers is what we attested to, how often we re-check, and how visible the badge is. Start free, upgrade only when your customers ask for it.
