A new dated entry is stamped here each time the price moves — the record builds itself.
From 2026-10-16 our record reflects a correction we published, not a vendor price move, so earlier figures are not compared with it.
Tracked since June 2026. No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.
Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of ZeroSSL, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by ZeroSSL. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Basic. Correction 2026-09-11: The monthly price moved from $9.99 to $13.99. The plan's own note says the recorded figure is the yearly-billed rate and names $13.99 as the price billed monthly, in the same sentence. The monthly price holds the month-to-month price — the schema says so and the annual discount carries the saving separately — so the comparison tables were understating the entry price of this plan by the whole discount. Both figures are read from the note as it stood; nothing was derived. This is the same correction 190 rows took on 2026-09-09 and a hundred more on 2026-09-10, missed here only because the note says "billed yearly" or "when billed annually" where the check wanted the word "annually" alone.

This standing as a plaque
ZeroSSL currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 6 of 7 · Ssl Certificates. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if ZeroSSL moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
