Verifycate vs Accredible
Side-by-side comparison of Verifycate and Accredible across pricing, features, verification, and free tiers.
What Accredible is
A credential platform for universities, associations, and online learning programs, built around what it calls the Credential Flywheel — issue, share, refer, re-enroll. It's strongest on white-labelling, one-click sharing without accounts, and program-growth tooling like pathways, directories, and email campaigns.
Accredible's flagship features
- One-click acceptance and sharing — recipients accept and share credentials without creating an account, including to LinkedIn. It's their headline attack on Credly, and one we share.
- White-labelling — branded credential pages, emails, custom URLs, learner directories, and wallet cards. "Your brand, not ours".
- Pathways — stackable milestone credentials with pathways analytics on enrolments, completions, and drop-offs.
- Spotlight and Recommendations — a branded directory of credential holders, plus advertising your credentials to a verified pool of active learners.
- Wallet cards — Apple Wallet and Google Pay cards alongside certificates and badges.
- Growth automation — email campaigns and SMS engagement: share reminders, renewal notices, and re-enrollment incentives.

Where Accredible leads
They do some things we don't, and pretending otherwise wouldn't help you decide. These are the capabilities we can't match — if any of them is the point for you, pick them.
- Pathways with enrolment and completion analytics.
- Spotlight directories and Recommendations — credential marketing we don't build.
- Automated email campaigns and SMS engagement.
- Digital transcripts and verified career records.
- Apple Wallet and Google Pay cards.
- Custom SMTP on every plan, including the entry Launch tier.
- Job market insights attached to credentials.
Why teams choose Verifycate
- SSO (OIDC and SAML 2.0), SCIM provisioning, and audit logs are included on Pro — no enterprise quote or private tier.
- Send from your own address, verified domain, connected provider, or SMTP — not just a platform-branded sender.
- Certificates are Open Badge 3.0 too — you keep a verifiable standard without an enterprise contract.
- Blockchain Verifiable Web3 Certificates are on Pro: anchored to Ethereum (Base) and Bitcoin, with a name-masked NFT viewable in OpenSea, at event-scale pricing rather than per recipient.
- Designed for the person running the event, not the department procuring the platform.
- Unlock Forms, Certificate Requests, and self-serve corrections are built for events rather than course catalogues.
- The whole price list is public, and you can start for free.
Pick Accredible if
You're issuing formal, accredited credentials at institutional scale and want pathways, directories, and growth automation around them.
Common questions
- How much does Accredible cost?
- Only the entry Launch plan is self-serve: $45/month on a 12-month term for 50 recipients, priced per recipient per year with unlimited credentials per recipient. Connect and Growth are custom-quoted, and white-labelling, directories, and the API are add-ons or higher-tier features.
- Accredible or Verifycate for a course or event?
- Accredible prices per recipient per year, which suits multi-credential programs; a one-off event with a thousand one-time recipients fits that model badly. Verifycate's $54-a-year Pro plan with 1,200 credits prices the event, not the headcount.
- What does Accredible offer that Verifycate doesn't?
- Program-growth machinery: pathways, Spotlight directories, Recommendations, email and SMS campaigns, wallet cards, transcripts, and job-market insights. Verifycate competes on price, event-first features like Unlock Forms and request links, and public pricing.
- Do both platforms use blockchain?
- Yes. Accredible lists blockchain credentials on every plan, including Launch. Verifycate anchors a certificate's fingerprint to Ethereum (Base) and Bitcoin, stores the content on Arweave, and adds a name-masked NFT that can be checked in OpenSea — with a Bitcoin proof anyone can verify offline. On both, only a fingerprint goes on-chain, never the recipient's personal data.

Every certificate gets a QR code and a public page anyone can verify. Pro is $54 a year with credits that never expire — and the first 300 certificates are free, no card.
Worth knowing: Unlock Forms aren't for collecting names you never had — Certificate Request links do that. Unlock Forms do the opposite job: after the event, each recipient gets a private link and completes your feedback form or leaves a testimonial before their certificate is released.
