The differences

Where they really differ

A certificate each signer buys, or a check in your plan

With InfoCert, each signer gets their own qualified certificate. In Italy it costs €79 + VAT including identification, and it is valid for 3 years. That suits people who sign often. In Trust Circle, ZealiD verifies each client once in the ZealiD app, valid for two years, and neither you nor your client pays per check.
