What Auth3D is
Auth3D provides persistent product records that connect physical objects to their identity, maker, design provenance, production notes, and supporting evidence. Buyers, service teams, distributors, and collectors can reach a record through QR codes, NFC tags, RFID workflows, serial numbers, direct URLs, or typed Unique Part Identifiers, using a standard phone browser without installing an app. Records can include a reference image and owner-facing support context, and may be public, hidden behind a direct link, private, or password-protected. Published records are designed to keep resolving from the same URL after account activity stops. The API supports identifier generation or reservation, record creation with image evidence, production-field updates, and record retrieval. It can sit alongside ERP, MES, QMS, label services, or custom production applications, with each connection requiring its own permissions and credentials. Auth3D is a product identity and lookup layer for passport planning, not a regulator, test lab, or certification authority.
Good
- Lookup through QR, NFC, RFID, serials, or URLs
- Verification works in a phone browser without an app
- Records support private and password-protected visibility
- API can create, update, and retrieve records
- Free Registry includes 10 permanent part records
Watch out
- Free Registry is limited to 10 permanent records
- It does not certify safety or regulatory compliance
- External platform connections need their own permissions and credentials
Who it suits
The free registry is aimed at makers, designers, and small manufacturers. The Production plan is described for recurring runs, replacement parts, limited editions, and serviceable equipment.
Verdict
Auth3D provides persistent product identity records with multiple lookup methods and configurable visibility. Treat it as an identity and lookup layer, not as independent verification of compliance or safety claims.

The full review of Auth3D
Overview
Auth3D is a product identity and verification registry for physical objects. It gives an item a lasting record that can connect it to its maker, design history, production details, and supporting evidence. Buyers, service teams, distributors, and collectors can view a public verification page in a standard phone browser without installing an app.
Records can be reached through QR codes, NFC tags, RFID workflows, serial numbers, direct URLs, or a typed Unique Part Identifier (UPI). A record may include a reference image, design and manufacturer attribution, production notes, and information for owners seeking support. Visibility options include public, hidden by direct link, private, and password-protected.
Published records are designed to keep resolving at the same URL after account activity stops. That persistence is useful when product information needs to remain available beyond the period in which an account is actively maintained.
Key features
Identification and verification
Auth3D links physical objects to records that can be found through several identifier and lookup methods. The public verification page is accessible through a phone browser, so people checking an item do not need a dedicated app. Its records can bring identity, maker attribution, design provenance, production notes, image evidence, and owner-facing support context together.
Visibility and record continuity
Record owners can choose public access, a hidden direct link, private access, or password protection. Published records are intended to retain their URL even when account activity ends, providing a stable destination for an item's information.
API and production workflows
Auth3D API v1 supports generating or reserving identifiers, creating records with image evidence, updating production fields, and reading records. It can be used alongside ERP, MES, QMS, label services, or custom production applications. Connections to other platforms require the relevant permissions and credentials. API access uses private bearer-token credentials, is owner-scoped and revocable, and connections can be revoked.
The service supports item-level serialization and serial verification. Its contact page invites questions about records, identifier batches, QR and NFC workflows, and migration of existing identifiers.
Limits on compliance claims
Auth3D is a product record and verification registry, not a regulator, test lab, or independent certification authority. It does not independently certify safety or regulatory compliance claims. It can provide an identity and lookup layer for digital product passport planning, while regulated declarations, test reports, risk files, and official conformity decisions remain the responsibility of businesses and authorities.
Pricing
Auth3D uses a freemium model with a free plan and paid plans from $12.50/mo.
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free Registry | free | 10 permanent part records; public authentication pages; QR, NFC, RFID, and serial-friendly lookup URLs; design and manufacturer attribution; record image and production notes. |
| Production | $12.50 a month (billed $125 paid annually) | 50 permanent records per month, with unused records carrying over; batch UPI reservation workflows; CSV migration planning; UPI reservation workflow. |
| Enterprise | $29.50 a month (billed $295 paid annually) | Unlimited permanent records; bulk data migration; private or staged registry planning; identifier strategy and implementation support; long-term record governance. |
Platforms
Auth3D is available on the web and through an API. Its public verification pages work in a standard phone browser without an app installation. The service is headquartered in Singapore.
Who it's for
The Free Registry is described for makers, designers, and small manufacturers. Production is aimed at organizations with recurring runs, replacement parts, limited editions, or serviceable equipment. Teams considering digital product passports can use Auth3D as an identity and lookup layer, but must manage formal compliance documentation and decisions through the responsible businesses and authorities.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Supports several lookup routes, including QR, NFC, RFID workflows, serial numbers, URLs, and UPIs.
- Public verification pages do not require visitors to install an app.
- Published records are designed to retain their URL after account activity stops.
- Offers visibility settings and API capabilities for production workflows.
Cons
- It does not independently certify product safety or regulatory compliance.
- Integrations with other platforms need their own permissions and credentials.
Alternatives
For other options in Product Serialization Software, see Scantrust, Authentific, AltiusHub, Cerfinity, LSPedia OneScan Suite, Systech UniTrace, HUBIXA, and OPTEL VerifyBrand.
Verdict
Auth3D focuses on persistent product records, flexible identification, and browser-based verification. Its combination of lookup methods, visibility controls, and API support suits product makers and production teams that need a shared record layer across items and workflows. It should not be treated as an independent compliance or safety certification service; formal declarations and evidence remain outside its remit.
