3 reasons why businesses choose Certifier over BadgeCert

Affordable pricing, 250 credentials for $0

While BadgeCert is paid-only, Certifier has the most powerful free plan (250 credentials/year for free), and fair pricing on paid plans.

Native integrations with spreadsheets

BadgeCert gives API access, so integrations require additional engineering. Certifier automates credentialing with built-in integrations.

100% white-label credentialing

Unlike BadgeCert’s limited white-labeling, Certifier allows creating fully branded credentialing experiences from custom domains and emails to credentials pages.

I'm impressed that you can issue a large number of credentials in a year before you need a paid plan. Also, Certifier is extremely easy to use: it only took me a few easy steps and just a few minutes to create my first credential badge and issue it. Highly recommended.

Before Certifier, my organization used PowerPoint to create certificates to issue as PDFs that would take about 10 minutes to make each one.With Certifier we are able to issue hundreds of badges/certificates within minutes. We create new badges every week so this is a massive time saver!

Features that make Certifier the best BadgeCert alternative

Credentials design builder

Design professional credentials without added friction

BadgeCert limits design to basic badge artwork through a rigid authoring tool. Certifier, on the other hand, offers full creative control over credentials design with a visual, SVG-based drag-and-drop builder, editable templates, and numerous fonts.

Certificate management

Build credential programs beyond badges

BadgeCert is built mainly for badges, with certificates playing a secondary role. Certifier supports certificates and badges equally, letting teams design, issue, and manage each independently or combine them within the same credentialing program.
