# Compare SSL certificate prices

Sorted by lowest verified 1-year price. Commissions never change the order or which sellers are shown.

**Validity:** since 15 March 2026 a publicly trusted TLS certificate is valid for at most 200 days (100 days from 15 March 2027, 47 days from 15 March 2029). A "1-year" or "multi-year" purchase is a subscription: the certificate is reissued several times during the term. See the [validity timeline](https://ssl.sh/timeline/certificate-validity/).
