WordProof alternatives. WordProof timestamps website content, often automatically. A TimeBind dates a file you hold, in the browser.

TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes.

A TimeBind is a dated, checkable record that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches. The fingerprint is made in the browser, and the file stays on your device. Your first Pooled TimeBind is free; after that, TimeBinds start from US$5, and an ASAP TimeBind is US$15.

WordProof alternatives: the short answer

WordProof is a Dutch company (WordProof B.V.) that timestamps website content. Its official feature page describes hashing a post, image or PDF, adding that hash to a blockchain, and letting you download a PDF certificate. On WordPress, it can do this automatically when content is published or updated, and it can expose timestamps in Schema.org. The homepage (checked 12 November 2026) advertises a free plan and support for WordPress, Shopify and an API.

A TimeBind is not a WordPress plugin. It dates any file you hold: the fingerprint is made in the browser, the file is never uploaded, and the record is anchored to Bitcoin. Use WordProof if you want automatic timestamps of pages as they change on a site. Use a TimeBind if you want to date the working files themselves, including drafts that never go on the site. They can be used together. This is general information, not legal advice. Prices and product facts below were checked on each provider’s official pages on 12 November 2026 and may change.

WordProof vs a TimeBind at a glance

	WordProof	TimeBind
Main job	Timestamp website content, often automatically, and show a certificate to visitors.	Date an exact file you hold, and check later that a copy still matches.
Where it runs	WordPress plugin, and, per the homepage, Shopify and an API. The plugin directory describes EOSIO blockchains.	In your browser, for any file. The record is anchored to Bitcoin.
File uploaded to TimeBinder or WordProof?	WordProof hashes content from the site. Check their help centre for how a given integration handles media files.	No. Only the SHA-256 fingerprint leaves your device.
What you can hand over	A downloadable PDF certificate, and, on a site, a visitor-facing certificate pop-up and Schema.org markup.	A Proof of Time Certificate, plus the exact original file.
Automatic on every edit?	Yes, for supported WordPress content, per the official feature page.	No. You TimeBind a file when you choose to. A later edit is a different file.
Plugin maintenance (12 Nov 2026)	WordPress.org: version 3.0.15, last updated three years ago, 200+ installs, not tested with the latest three major WordPress releases.	TimeBinder is a hosted app, not a WordPress plugin.
Cost (12 Nov 2026)	The homepage advertises a free plan. The official pricing page returned HTTP 500 when checked, so paid prices are not listed here.	First Pooled TimeBind free; then from US$5, or US$15 for ASAP.
Shows copyright ownership?	No.	No.

Sources: WordProof, Copyright protection, the WordProof homepage, and the WordPress plugin directory entry. WordProof’s own pages use phrases such as “copyright protection”; this comparison describes what the product does (hash, record, certificate) and does not repeat those phrases as a legal result. Terms: hash, timestamp, blockchain timestamp, proof of existence. Tool: SHA-256 hash checker.

When to use which

Use WordProof

You want published pages timestamped automatically as they are updated
You want visitors or search engines to see a certificate or Schema.org timestamp on the site
You have checked that the plugin or integration is compatible with your stack

Use a dated file record

The thing you care about is a file (a draft, a PDF, a design, a video), not only the live page
You want the file to stay on your device
You want a Bitcoin-anchored certificate you can hand over with the original

A WordPress plugin does not date every working file on your computer, and a TimeBind does not automatically re-stamp a live page when you edit it. If you also want a free, open-source file proof, see OpenTimestamps.

What a TimeBind shows, and what it doesn’t

What it shows

That an exact file existed no later than the recorded time
That a later copy still matches, bit for bit, if the fingerprint is the same

What it doesn’t show

Who made the file, who owns it, or who holds the copyright
That the contents are true, original, or human-made
Whether AI was used, or how a court, platform or insurer will treat the record

The SHA-256 fingerprint is made in your browser. The file is never uploaded. The record is anchored to Bitcoin. This is general information, not legal advice.

Your file’s fingerprint, anchored to a global network secured by real electricity and cryptography.

Editing a file—including with AI—changes its fingerprint, not its existing network record.

How this works

Your file’s SHA-256 fingerprint, a short code worked out from its exact contents, is made in your browser, and the file itself stays on your device. A cryptographic commitment to that fingerprint, which may be combined with others, is then anchored in a block on the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin is secured by proof of work: computers around the world spend real electricity to add each block, and changing an earlier block would mean redoing that work faster than the rest of the network. Until that block is confirmed, your proof is pending. Once the Bitcoin anchoring is confirmed, you can verify the proof against that recorded commitment. The confirmed record can then be checked; Pooled TimeBinds are checked through TimeBinder, while ASAP TimeBinds can also be checked independently. If you check the file later and its fingerprint still matches, that shows the file existed no later than the recorded time. The record doesn’t show who made the file, whether AI was used, or that its contents are true.

Frequently asked questions

Is WordProof still available?

The marketing site at wordproof.com was live on 12 November 2026 and still advertised a free plan, WordPress, Shopify and an API. The official pricing page returned HTTP 500 that day, so this page does not list paid plan prices. The WordPress plugin directory lists version 3.0.15, last updated three years ago, with 200+ active installations, and warns that it has not been tested with the latest three major WordPress releases.

Which blockchain does WordProof use?

The WordPress plugin directory currently describes timestamping on EOSIO blockchains. The marketing feature page says the hash is added to “the blockchain” without naming a chain on that page. Check WordProof’s own certificate and help centre for the chain used on a given timestamp.

Does WordProof prove I own the copyright in a post?

No. WordProof describes hashing content and recording that hash, then offering a downloadable certificate. A TimeBind does the same kind of job for a file you hash. Neither shows who wrote the content or that you hold the copyright.

I want to timestamp files that are not on a WordPress site. Is WordProof the right tool?

WordProof is built around website content (WordPress and, per its homepage, Shopify and an API). A TimeBind is for any file you hold: you drop it in the browser, the file stays on your device, and you get a certificate. OpenTimestamps is another file-based option if you want a command-line proof.

What does a TimeBind cost?

Your first Pooled TimeBind is free. After that, Pooled TimeBinds start from US$5, and an ASAP TimeBind is US$15.
