Verifycate vs Certifier
Side-by-side comparison of Verifycate and Certifier across pricing, features, verification, and free tiers.
What Certifier is
A certificate and badge platform from Poland that markets itself as the "#1 certificate maker". It has the deepest design tooling on our list — a large template library, an AI design assistant, and integrations into most of the tools an L&D team already runs. Its public customer wall includes BAFTA, Purdue, UC Berkeley, and the University of Birmingham.
Certifier's flagship features
- AI certificate maker and design builder — generate certificate designs without design skills, then refine them in a drag-and-drop editor with dynamic attributes and custom backgrounds.
- 3,000+ templates — the largest template library of any platform on this list, across certificates, badges, and documents.
- Digital badges and credential lifecycle — Open Badge 3.0 badges alongside certificates, with scheduled issuing, expiration settings, and renewal reminder emails.
- Certifier Forms — a native form builder that collects recipient details and issues a certificate on submission, either automatically or as a draft you approve first. Free on every plan, including Starter.
- Branded credential portal — a white-label recipient portal on your own domain, on the Advanced plan, with branding features also sold as monthly add-ons on lower tiers.
- Integrations, API, and an MCP — native connectors for Google Sheets, Microsoft Forms, Zoom, and Canvas LMS, plus Zapier, Make, webhooks, a REST API — and a Certifier MCP.

Where Certifier 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.
- A dedicated digital-badge product with badge-specific templates. Verifycate issues certificates only.
- Native LMS connectors — Canvas, Moodle-class integrations, plus 30+ others. We expose an API and webhooks instead, so you build the connection yourself.
- MFA on email/Google sign-in and custom roles and permissions on Advanced. Our SSO relies on your identity provider for MFA, and our roles are fixed at four workspace roles.
- A template library several thousand designs deep, against our handful of starting points.
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.
- Bring a Canva design straight in as the certificate background — you keep the design tool you already use.
- AI design generation is included, so a blank canvas is a choice rather than a requirement.
- Blockchain Verifiable Web3 Certificates on Pro — anchored to Ethereum (Base) and Bitcoin with a name-masked NFT viewable in OpenSea — so a certificate stays checkable beyond any single platform.
- Unlock Forms, Certificate Requests, corrections, sponsors, custom domain, and the API all sit on one plan rather than across tiers or add-ons.
- Credits never expire, so an annual issuing cap can't strand an event that runs late.
Pick Certifier if
Design is the hard part for you and you want a big template library and an AI designer more than you want a feedback-gated release or per-event pricing.
Common questions
- How much does Certifier cost?
- The Starter plan is free forever with 250 credentials a year. Paid plans start at $49/month billed annually, and the price scales with the annual issuing limit you pick — there isn't one published price for 1,000 certificates. Branding is extra on lower tiers: about $42/month for branded pages and $99/month for a custom domain, both included on Advanced. Check their pricing page, since the selector changes the number.
- Certifier or Verifycate for a campus fest?
- Certifier's free plan is 250 credentials a year; a fest with 1,000 participants is on a paid annual plan whose price depends on the volume you select. Verifycate's Pro plan is $54 a year with 1,200 credits that never expire, and you only spend a credit when a certificate is issued. If you also want badges, a native LMS connector, or a much larger template library, Certifier is the stronger tool.
- Can I switch from Certifier to Verifycate?
- Yes. Export your recipient list as a CSV, then import it into Verifycate and map the columns once. Bring your design as a Canva background. Your recipients get a fresh public page with a QR code, and old certificate links you still control keep working on whichever platform issued them.
Send the certificates tonight.
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.
