How Accredible's recipient-based pricing actually works
Accredible prices by the number of unique recipients, not individual certificates. Sending five certificates to the same person counts as one credit. This is useful for learning pathways but makes comparison tricky. The practical reality: the Launch plan's 250 recipients at $996/year still works out to $3.98 per person, and the next two tiers (Connect and Growth) have no published pricing, you must contact sales to find out what you'll pay.
Two of Accredible's three paid plans have no public pricing
Only the Launch plan at $996/year has a published price. The Connect and Growth plans, needed for automation, custom domains, white labeling, and advanced analytics, require a sales call to price. Organizations that outgrow Launch often find themselves in a negotiation with no reference point. MixCertificate publishes all plan prices clearly on its pricing page.

A public credentials directory, ready out of the box
Every MixCertificate issuer gets a public-facing page where all certificates and badges are listed and instantly verifiable. Recipients get individual shareable profiles. Accredible offers a Spotlight Directory, but it is locked to higher-tier plans and gated behind a sales conversation. With MixCertificate, you get this from day one.

Where MixCertificate consistently wins
Accredible is a well-built platform. But it was built for enterprise, and you pay an enterprise price for it.
Pricing you can actually budget for
MixCertificate publishes every plan price. Accredible lists only the Launch plan publicly. The Connect and Growth plans require a sales demo before you find out what you'll pay.
Phone and Zoom support included
Every MixCertificate plan includes phone and Zoom support. Accredible does not offer either. When something goes wrong with a batch issue, you want to speak to a person.
Branding from day one, not tier three
Full branding is included on MixCertificate Standard. On Accredible's Launch plan, you get logo placement only. Custom domain and white labeling require upgrading to tiers with no listed price.
Public credentials directory, included
MixCertificate gives every issuer a public-facing credentials page from the start. Accredible's Spotlight Directory is a feature reserved for higher-tier plans and requires custom pricing.
A trial that actually lets you test
MixCertificate gives you 15 days of full-feature access to evaluate the platform. Accredible offers 20 recipient credits, which is barely enough to run a pilot before committing to a $996/year plan.
Accessible for organizations of any size
At $49/month, MixCertificate serves training providers, associations, and growing businesses without a four-figure annual commitment. Accredible's pricing locks out smaller teams before they even start.
