Sponsorship
Sponsor Ecuador’s open electronic signature
firmar.ec is and will remain free. Sponsorship does not buy the service: it funds development, security audits and the infrastructure that keep the tool alive and open.
Why
What your support sustains
-
Privacy by design
Your .p12 never leaves the browser (WebCrypto). Sponsoring sustains a tool that neither sells nor tracks data.
-
Auditable security
SLSA Level 3, Sigstore Cosign and Rekor Transparency Log. Reproducible builds anyone can verify.
-
Digital sovereignty
Open-source Ecuadorian alternative (AGPL-3.0). No vendor lock-in: fork it and self-host.
-
Funded roadmap
PAdES-LTV with TSA, Quipux compatibility and multi-signer. Your support accelerates these features.
Tiers
Choose your sponsorship level
Sponsorship is support for the open project (visibility + roadmap); it does not include integration or SLA — that is the commercial / Enterprise license (below). Prices exclude tax (Ecuador: +15% VAT on the SRI invoice). Annual payment gets a 10% discount.

Enterprise & Commercial license
Custom · by contractIntegrating firmar.ec into a proprietary product or service, or does your organization (company, bank, government, universities) need an SLA, dedicated support, custom deployment or certificate issuance? The AGPL-3.0 requires releasing your code when you integrate — a commercial license lets you do it without opening your code.
- Commercial license: integrate firmar.ec into proprietary/closed systems without releasing your code (which the AGPL does not allow for free)
- Contractual SLA and dedicated support
- Custom integration: API, SSO, bulk signing, white-label
- Certificate issuance (coming soon)
- Recognition as Founding Sponsor (institutions / government)
