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.

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.
