Issuing certificates in bulk with Certifier
Certifier lets an issuer upload one spreadsheet and create a certificate or badge for every recipient, with name, course and date filled in. The pricing page lists CSV and Excel upload, column matching and bulk sending by email.
Each recipient gets a personal link to view, download and share the credential, and Certifier states that no account is needed on the recipient side. Download formats named are PDF, PNG and JSON.
Certifier plans and the free tier
Certifier states that its Starter plan stays free forever with an annual limit of 250 certificates or badges. The paid ladder on the pricing page runs through 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 7,500, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 and 50,000 credentials a year.
The paid prices themselves are not in the text we read, and Certifier points to a separate Enterprise route for custom needs, terms and limits.
Certifier as a European alternative to Credly
Certifier contracts through a Polish company under its own Terms of Service, where Credly sits within Pearson. Certifier covers certificates and badges for issuers, and it does not describe a public employer network like the one Credly markets.
Certifier lists Penn State, Duolingo, ElevenLabs, The Economist and BAFTA as example issuers on its homepage.
Limitations to Consider
Certifier does not show its paid prices, hosting location or Open Badges certification in the text we read. Terms and privacy policy carry a March 2024 date. Compare with Open Badge Factory for public yearly prices and Open Badges focus.
