Reglynn.eu VS Cert Decoder

Reglynn.eu's answer

After the June 2026 Omnibus, the coverage said "the EU delayed the AI Act." That's half true, and it's the reassuring half. High-risk obligations moved to December 2027 — but Article 50 transparency duties were never deferred, and regulators gained fining powers on 2 August 2026.

So the group with live obligations right now is precisely the group that read "delayed" and stopped paying attention. Reglynn was built to close that gap for companies that can't put €300/hour behind finding out.

Cert Decoder's answer:

I built certdecoder.com over the weekend for my own needs. Sometimes in my work, I need to verify and check certificate details.

Reglynn.eu's answer

A static site on Netlify. Assessment through structured forms, with report generation via Anthropic's Claude API against Reglynn's own question set and classification logic. Delivery logging in Airtable. Analytics via GA4 with Consent Mode v2, denied by default.

Cert Decoder's answer:

certdecoder.com was built using just JavaScript and HTML—simple, fast, and with all processing happening locally in your browser, so no certificate data is sent to any server

Reglynn.eu's answer

Founders, product managers and operations leads at EU or EU-serving companies with 5–50 people who ship an AI feature — chatbots, generative products, scoring or ranking models, AI-assisted screening. Typically the trigger is an enterprise prospect's legal team asking for their AI Act position in writing, with a deadline attached. Not lawyers, and not enterprises with a compliance department.

Cert Decoder's answer:

certdecoder.com is primarily built for developers, sysadmins, cybersecurity enthusiasts, and DevOps engineers.

Reglynn.eu's answer

Free checkers give you a risk tier with no reasoning. Enterprise GRC platforms give you a subscription starting in the tens of thousands. A lawyer gives you an answer at €300/hour. Reglynn gives you a dated, structured document you can put in front of an enterprise procurement team — once, for €59.

It also works hard not to over-classify you. The report runs role, then GPAI, then the Article 6(3) exemption, then establishment, in that order, because assigning someone else's obligations to a deployer is what makes these tools useless.

Cert Decoder's answer:

Simple, fast, and reliable. Some similar tools can’t even decode basic certificates. I rigorously tested my tool with many real-world certificates and covered several edge cases where competitors fall short.

Reglynn.eu's answer

Reglynn launched in August 2026 and doesn't publish customer names. Buyers are typically 10–50 person AI companies responding to an enterprise procurement or due-diligence request.

Cert Decoder's answer:

certdecoder.com is primarily built for developers, sysadmins, cybersecurity enthusiasts, and DevOps engineers.

Reglynn.eu's answer

Three things. It uses the correct post-Omnibus deadlines — most published guidance still carries the pre-June-2026 dates, which tells high-risk providers they're late when they aren't, and tells chatbot builders they have time when they don't. It runs the Article 6(3) exemption check, which almost no free tool does, so it won't tell you you're high-risk when the regulation says otherwise. And it publishes its own AI Act self-assessment, because Reglynn is an AI system under the regulation it assesses.
