Certificate platform alternatives
Verifycate vs Give My Certificate
Verifycate as an alternative to Give My Certificate — published pricing for 1,000 certificates a year, what each platform is good at, and which one fits your event.
What Give My Certificate is
An Indian credential platform that markets itself as the world's most user-friendly credential system — thousands of certificates in under 10 minutes, with a rupee pricing toggle and WhatsApp support. It covers more than certificates: badges, degrees, ID cards, and experience letters too.
Give My Certificate's flagship features
- Speed of issuance — their headline: issue thousands of certificates in less than 10 minutes, from a free tier that needs no card.
- Verifiable QR codes — every certificate carries a verifiable QR code, with verification promised for 15+ years.
- Unlimited designs on every plan — design templates and email templates are unlimited even on the free plan, with no design gate.
- Document breadth — certificates, badges, degrees, ID cards, experience letters, and event invites under one platform.
- API and verification API — published API docs, with the verification API on white-label and custom plans.

Where Give My Certificate 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.
- Document types beyond certificates: badges, degrees, ID cards, experience letters, and event invites.
- Custom SMTP and deep email branding from the Basic plan.
- WhatsApp-based support — a channel we don't offer.
- Delivery and share-status analytics — email opens, shares, and LinkedIn add-status tracking.
- Their 15+ year verification promise is stated more concretely than anything on our page (ours simply never expires).
Why teams choose Verifycate
- Your certificates aren't held behind a monthly certificate cap — buy credits once and they never expire.
- Unlock Forms hold the certificate until a recipient completes your feedback form, so response rates land near the send rate instead of near zero.
- Recipients fix a misspelled name themselves and you approve it. No reissue, and corrections never spend a credit.
- API, MCP, and webhooks are on the same plan as everything else.
Pick Give My Certificate if
You want the simplest possible credential-count plan, rupee billing with GST, and document types beyond certificates.
Common questions
- How much does Give My Certificate cost?
- The free plan covers 10 certificates a month. The Basic plan starts at $99 a year for 1,000 credentials, scaling in tiers to 10,000. Prices toggle between USD and rupees (GST applies in India). White-label and custom plans are quoted by sales.
- Give My Certificate or Verifycate for an Indian event?
- They're the closest competitor on price for Indian organisers — Basic at $99 for 1,000 credentials vs Verifycate's ₹2,999 a year for 1,200 credits. The difference is what sits on the plan: Verifycate includes Unlock Forms, request links, corrections, sponsors, and the API, while credits never expire.
- Does Give My Certificate support Open Badges?
- It isn't advertised. Verifycate issues every certificate as an Open Badge 3.0 credential as well, so the credential stays verifiable outside the platform that issued it.

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.
