How much does Certi cost?
You buy a pass for the period you need. With annual billing (12 months), you get 15% off, and the monthly price is Mini $6 (50 credits a month), Basic $18 (150 credits a month), or Pro $48 (500 credits a month). If you need 1–11 months, it’s Mini $7, Basic $22, or Pro $58 per month. See the pricing page for details.
Will I be charged automatically every month?
No. Certi doesn’t keep your card on file and charge it each month. You buy a pass for the period you want (1–12 months) in a single payment. Nothing is charged automatically, so there’s nothing to worry about. Before your pass ends, you can extend it or move to a higher plan.
Can I try Certi for free?
Yes. The free trial lasts 1 month and comes with 30 credits. You can start without adding a card.
What’s included in every plan?
Every plan includes unlimited admin accounts, unlimited badge creation, KakaoTalk and email delivery, PDF certificates in your institution’s format, link and QR verification, program management, API integration, and issuer verification with an organization page. The Pro plan adds one custom badge design for your institution and development support for API integration.
What are credits?
Credits are what you use to issue digital badges. Issuing one badge to one person uses 1 credit. Credits count badges issued, not people, so giving one person two badges uses 2 credits.
What if I run out of credits?
You can buy extra credits on their own. Volume discounts apply from 3,000 credits and again from 10,000 credits. If you need a large number at once, chat with us and we’ll help you with payment.
Are there setup fees or other extra costs?
There is no setup fee. There is no limit on admin accounts or on the number of badges you create, and issuer verification and your organization page come at no extra cost. The only costs beyond your pass are extra credits and custom badge designs for your institution (a one-time fee per design, up to 3 revisions).
Do badge recipients have to pay anything?
No. Recipients can view, keep, and share their badges for free.
What happens to badges we already issued when our pass ends?
They stay. Your pass covers issuing new badges, so when it ends, recipients can keep viewing and storing the badges you already sent. Buy a new pass, and you can pick up issuing new badges again.
Can we pay by card, get a tax invoice, or buy through S2B?
Yes. You can pay by card, and we issue Korean tax invoices. Certi is also listed on the EduTech mall of Korea’s S2B school procurement marketplace, so schools can buy it there directly.
Can we pay with program or grant funds, or get a quote?
We can send you a quote and service materials. Spending rules differ by program office and institution, so we prepare the documents you need to match your funding guidelines. Chat with us to get started.
We issue badges to thousands of people. How does that work?
You can buy credits at volume prices, with discounts from 3,000 credits and from 10,000 credits. We’ll guide you based on your issuing volume and schedule, so please chat with us.
