3 reasons why businesses choose Certifier over BadgeCert

250 digital credentials to start for $0

While BadgeCert is paid-only, Certifier offers the most powerful free plan on the market with 250 digital credentials (certificates/badges) per year at no cost.

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.

Before, we used PowerPoint to create PDF certificates. It would take us ±10 minutes to make each one. With Certifier, we are able to issue hundreds of badges/certificates within minutes.

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.
