Organization Validated Certificate Costs

OV certificates command higher prices reflecting the manual validation work required. Annual costs typically range from $50-300, with most mainstream options falling in the $100-200 range. Entry-level OV certificates around $50-100 provide basic organization validation with minimal additional features. Standard OV certificates at $100-200 often include dynamic site seals, vulnerability scanning, and professional support. Premium OV options exceeding $200 might offer higher warranties, advanced security features, or specialized support services.

The pricing structure for OV certificates often includes volume discounts for organizations needing multiple certificates. Bulk purchases of 5-10 certificates might receive 10-20% discounts, while enterprise agreements for larger volumes can provide even better pricing. Some providers offer wildcard OV certificates at 2-3x the price of single-domain certificates, potentially providing better value for organizations with multiple subdomains.

When evaluating OV certificate costs, consider the included features that might otherwise require separate purchases. Vulnerability scanning services typically cost $100-500 annually if purchased separately. Malware monitoring might add another $100-300 per year. Professional support services could cost $50-100 per incident. When bundled with OV certificates, these features often provide better value than purchasing services individually.
