How CredSure plans and pricing actually work
CredSure has three plans: a basic tier starting at €920 per year, and two custom plans called Grow and Boost. For Grow and Boost, you need to contact their sales team to find out what you will pay. All plans are annual contracts. Cancelling early may incur a fee. Pricing is quoted in Euros, with payment accepted in equivalent USD, GBP or INR.
Annual contract with a cancellation fee and no certificate designer
CredSure requires a year-long contract and may charge a cancellation fee if you leave early. Additionally, CredSure does not include a built-in certificate designer, you upload your own templates. For teams that need to build, edit, and iterate on certificate layouts without a graphic designer, this is a significant limitation.

Where MixCertificate consistently wins
CredSure is built for enterprise security teams. MixCertificate is built for everyone who just needs to issue credentials efficiently.
No annual contract, no exit fees
MixCertificate is month to month. Cancel whenever you like with no charges. CredSure requires a year-long commitment and may levy a cancellation fee if you leave before the contract ends.
A real certificate designer, included
MixCertificate includes a full drag-and-drop certificate builder on every plan. CredSure has no built-in designer, you must upload templates you have already created elsewhere, which adds cost and reliance on a designer.
Phone and Zoom support included
Every MixCertificate plan includes phone and Zoom support. When something needs urgent attention, you can speak to a real person. CredSure lists phone as a support option but not video call support.
Public credentials directory
MixCertificate gives every issuer a public-facing page where all credentials are listed and verifiable at a glance. CredSure issues per-credential verification links but has no equivalent issuer-level directory.
Simple enough for teams without IT
CredSure is feature-rich but widely noted for its steep learning curve and the need for dedicated technical resources to set it up properly. MixCertificate is designed for self-service from day one.
Pricing you can budget without a demo
All MixCertificate plans are priced on the website. CredSure's Grow and Boost plans require a sales call to find out what you will pay, making it hard to plan costs before you commit.
