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.
Here’s what businesses say after choosing Certifier
“I find Certifier incredibly user-friendly; setting it up was very easy. The best thing about using Certifier has been the ease of creating and designing badges, as it simplifies the process considerably.”

Ayesha Gleed
Immerse Education
“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.”

Barb Grant

“Certifier has streamlined our entire certificate management process at Derma Medical. It’s intuitive, efficient, and has significantly reduced our admin time.

Emma Kelly
Derma Medical COO
“I find the process of using Certifier very straightforward and easy. This ease of use has allowed me to effortlessly issue badges and certificates to our customers, which plays a crucial role in keeping them engaged with our platform.”

Jumana Badar
Causaly
“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.

Native integrations
Automate credential issuing across your existing tools

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.
