$99 a month, then pay per unit.
The platform fee covers signing, watermarking, fingerprinting and verification. Each is metered separately and gets cheaper as your monthly volume grows. Prices in USD, excluding tax.
What you get for $99 a month Proof of origin your users can check, without building it yourself.
Proof inside every file
Each signed file carries a C2PA manifest that records who made it, with which tool and when, bound to its exact bytes. It travels with the file.
Proof that survives stripping
When a platform strips the metadata, an invisible watermark or a fingerprint can still lead back to your signed record. Turn either on per request.
Checkable by anyone
People can check a file on your verify page, through the verification API, or in any standard C2PA tool. No account needed to check.
Support for the new AI labelling rules
Machine-readable marking of AI output, the kind EU AI Act Article 50 and California's SB 942 ask for. Provenance supports that work; it is not legal compliance by itself.
One call, nothing to build
Sign, watermark and fingerprint with one API call and two flags. No signing service, key management or format support to build and keep current.
Pay only for what runs
Each service is metered on its own, failed and cancelled jobs cost nothing, and every unit costs less as your monthly volume grows.
Graduated per-unit pricing, per service
Every unit is billed at the rate of the band it falls in, counting that service's units in the month. Sign, watermark, fingerprint and verify are metered separately.
$99/ month
Access to the signing, watermarking, fingerprinting and verification APIs. Usage billed per unit.
| Monthly units | Sign, watermark or fingerprint | Verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 10,000 | $0.015$15 per 1,000 | $0.0015$1.50 per 1,000 |
| 10,001 – 100,000 | $0.010$10 per 1,000 | $0.0010$1 per 1,000 |
| 100,001 – 1,000,000 | $0.005$5 per 1,000 | $0.0005$0.50 per 1,000 |
| 1,000,001+ | $0.0025$2.50 per 1,000 | $0.00025$0.25 per 1,000 |
Prices in USD, excluding tax. Graduated: each band's rate applies only to the units within that band, and each service counts its own units in the month. Failed and cancelled jobs are not charged. Enterprise volumes, dedicated SLAs and custom terms on request.
- Sign
- One signed file, whatever its type or size
- Watermark
- One image, whatever its size, or one started second of video or audio
- Fingerprint
- One image, whatever its size, or one started second of video or audio
- Verify
- One verification
25,000 signed files in one month:
- 10,000 × $0.015 = $150.00
- 15,000 × $0.010 = $150.00
Usage $300.00, plus the $99.00 platform fee: $399.00 for the month.
Signing only, the platform fee included, from the rates above. The more you sign, the less each file costs.
| Signed files a month | Month, all in | Per file |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $249.00 | $0.0249 |
| 100,000 | $1,149.00 | $0.0115 |
| 1,000,000 | $5,649.00 | $0.0056 |
What counts as a unit
A started second counts as a whole second, so 12.5 seconds of audio is 13 units. There is no resolution band, frame-rate multiplier or audio minimum. The rate table above lists what one unit is for each service and works through an example from the same rates.
Which services a job uses
The request decides. A sign-only job is billed for signing alone.
| Request fields | Sign | Watermark | Fingerprint |
|---|---|---|---|
"watermark": false "fingerprint": false | Yes | No | No |
"watermark": false "fingerprint": true | Yes | No | Yes |
"watermark": true | Yes | Yes | No |
"watermark": true "fingerprint": true | Yes | Yes | Yes |
CAWG identity keys
An identity key names an individual or an organisation in Content Credentials, using the Creator Assertions Working Group identity assertion. Coming soon — available once the identity certificate is enrolled. Contact us to register interest. Indicative prices: individual $99 a year, organisation $199 a year. Until it ships, a request that asks for an identity is refused rather than signed without it.
Enterprise
Volume commitments, SLAs and custom terms are available on request. Book a demo or write to hello@originalpictures.com.

Pricing questions
What does the $99 platform fee include?
Access to the signing, watermarking and fingerprinting APIs, the verification API, the console, API keys and webhooks. It includes no processing units. Usage is billed per unit on top.
Do I pay for watermarking if I only sign?
No. Each service is metered separately and only the services a job runs are counted. The default request signs with C2PA only.
How does graduated pricing work?
Each service counts its own units in the month. The first 10,000 units cost $0.015 each, units 10,001 to 100,000 cost $0.010, units 100,001 to 1,000,000 cost $0.005, and every unit after that costs $0.0025. Verification follows the same bands at a tenth of the price.
Do failed or cancelled jobs cost anything?
No. Processing is recorded only when a job publishes successfully. Failed, cancelled and not-yet-published work has no processing charge, and a retried publication cannot charge twice.
How do I estimate a job before I run it?
Call POST /v1/billing/quotes with the operation, the media family and the duration. A quote cannot know your volume so far this month, so it prices every unit at the first band, the most a unit can cost.
How do I start?
Create an account and an API key in the console, then talk to us to start your platform subscription. Self-serve checkout for this pricing is not available yet.
Which rates apply to my account?
The catalog version your account is enrolled on. A job keeps the rates it was admitted under, and a new catalog never changes jobs that were already admitted.
Start with a test file
Create an API key in the console, sign a file, and talk to us when you are ready to go to production.
