my-id.ca vs eID-Me
eID-Me by Bluink and my-id.ca answer different questions. eID-Me answers "prove who I am": it verifies your government IDs and stores the resulting identity claims encrypted on your phone, not in the cloud. my-id.ca answers "store and reuse what forms keep asking for": a Canadian cloud vault of family profiles, IDs, and documents that searches with self-hosted AI and fills web forms and PDFs. Many people would use both. The table keeps the categories honest.
Feature comparison
| Feature | my-id.ca | eID-Me (Bluink) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Personal + family data vault that fills web forms and PDFs from stored profiles | Verified digital identity wallet — government-ID verification with claims stored on your device |
| Canadian data hosting | Yes — user data and backups hosted in Canada | Canadian company; IDs stored encrypted on your phone rather than in a cloud vault |
| PIPEDA posture | Privacy practices designed to comply with PIPEDA; Canadian residency. No certification badge claimed — see /trust | Canadian provider; on-device storage minimizes cloud exposure — verify current terms |
| Verified government ID | No — my-id.ca stores your documents and scans; it does not verify or issue ID | Yes — identity verification is the core product |
| AI search over your data | Yes — natural-language search over your vault, running on my-id.ca servers in Canada | No |
| AI PDF form fill | Yes — AI maps vault fields onto the PDF; you review every value before download | No |
| AI web form fill | Yes — Chrome extension with AI field mapping; per-site opt-in, off by default | No universal web autofill — some identity-claim sharing flows; verify |
| Family / household data | Yes — structured profiles for spouse/partner, children, pets, and other household members in one account | Personal identity wallet — one person’s verified ID per wallet |
| Documents beyond IDs | Yes — files, scans, notes, and structured data for the whole household | Focused on identity documents and claims |
| Free tier | Yes — free plan, no credit card (1 GB storage, 5 documents/month); Pro at CAD $5/month | Verify current pricing |
| Where AI runs | Self-hosted on my-id.ca infrastructure — never sent to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic | No AI processing marketed |
| Encryption | AES-256-GCM at rest; TLS in transit | On-device encryption — a genuinely strong model for verified IDs |
| Zero-knowledge claim | Not claimed — my-id.ca can process your data to run search and autofill, and says so honestly on /trust | On-device storage means the vendor does not hold your IDs centrally |
| Mobile apps | Web app works in mobile browsers; no native iOS/Android apps today | Yes — the product is a mobile app |
Which should you use?
These are complements, not substitutes. eID-Me is the stronger answer when a service needs verified proof of identity, and its on-device model is excellent for that narrow job. my-id.ca is the answer for everything around it: the family’s documents, scans, and structured details, searched with self-hosted Canadian AI and reused across the web forms and PDFs that verified ID alone cannot fill.
