What is the pricing change?
We’re offering more for your money by switching our per-credential pricing to be per-recipient instead. That means you can issue as many certificates and badges to each of your individual participants as you’d like without having to pay more. We charge based on the number of unique recipients you issue to.
Why are you making a pricing change?
By charging per credential we were limiting how you were able to use badges and certificates. We want to support micro-credentialing and provide more freedom in how you use our platform.
Give me an example
Sure! Let’s say you’re on our smallest plan and had an allowance of 200 credentials per year. Previously you could only issue 200 certificates and badges. Now you may issue as many certificates or badges as you like to 200 unique people per year. You may issue those 200 recipients two badges/certificates (or more) giving you 400 credentials without having to upgrade your plan.

Recipients of certificates and badges can now showcase their learning using our public view of their profile.
We’ll be adding more functionality to this in the future so that it’s easier to collect badges, certificates and blockchain credentials.
Creating beautiful open badges has never been easier thanks to our new, free to use badge designer!
Use dynamic templates, upload images, add text and export to the format of your choice.

We’re always adding new designs and resources to make sure that designing, creating, issuing and delivering certificates and badges is as easy as possible.
It’s never been easier for recipients to embed your certificates and badges in their emails, websites and social media profiles!
Our new embed function guides recipients through the process of adding your certificate or badge. Embedded badges and certificates are now stateful. If you delete or expire the credential we make sure that the embedded image is updated.

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new Bridge LMS integration!
Together, Bridge and Accredible let you automatically create and send digital credentials to your Learners who complete Bridge Programs.
Learners have access to their Accredible credentials – and all of their functionality like printing a PDF copy, adding to their email signatures or sharing – entirely inside their Bridge experience.
All of the heavy lifting of creating credentials, with learner data is fully automated, saving you considerable time and money over traditional alternatives. You have complete control over the nuances of security and options and Accredible’s advanced account settings like whitelabelling, certificate design, and email settings on your Accredible account.
We’re always working hard to ensure that our service is a secure and performant as possible. In the past three months we’ve released over 100 updates to our product.
Most of our upgrades are like changing tires on a moving car: we rarely pull over to stop, because your credentials, your alumni tracking, and shares never stop. But on Sunday 12th November we performed an upgrade more like swapping out our engine (and adding in 4 turbochargers, plus a larger trunk). This update provides enhanced security and performance.
Digital credentials already offer more marketing value than traditional, paper based certificates, but with our latest update you can easily quantify and review the value you’ve received from issuing online.
Accredible is now able to show you the number of views your credentials are getting, how many clickthroughs to your website are generated, and what dollar value that is giving you – essentially for free!

We’re excited to announce that we’re making Accredible cheaper. Instead of paying for every certificate or badge that you publish we’re offering annual plans that are predictable, stable and don’t restrict your usage.
Each pricing plan gives you a credit allowance each year, depending on how many credentials you need to issue – and, it works out cheaper than our old model. For example, if you’re issuing 5000 credentials per year that cost $4,400 on our old pricing model but just $2,040 on the new.
