A feature Virtualbadge.io does not offer
Your own public credentials directory

Why MixCertificate is the stronger choice
More volume, better support, and no hidden credit traps.
25x more certificates at entry level
MixCertificate Standard includes 1,250 certificates for $49. Virtualbadge.io Growth gives you 50 for $75. You get dramatically more for significantly less.
No credit expiry
Virtualbadge.io credits expire at the end of every billing period. If you have a quiet month, that credit is gone. MixCertificate credits stay with you throughout your active plan.
Real support, not just live chat
Phone and Zoom support are included with every MixCertificate plan from day one. Virtualbadge.io only offers live chat, and even that is locked behind the Growth tier.
Public credentials directory included
MixCertificate gives every issuer a public-facing page where all credentials are listed and verifiable by anyone. Virtualbadge.io has no comparable feature at any plan tier.
True white labeling, not just a footer tweak
On Virtualbadge.io, white labeling means removing their logo from the email footer, and it requires an upgrade. MixCertificate delivers full branded experience across certificates, emails, and the recipient view.
Custom domain without contacting sales
MixCertificate includes a custom domain on the Professional plan. With Virtualbadge.io, that requires the Enterprise tier, which means a sales conversation just to get a domain.
