Why teams switch

Reasons teams choose CertSeal over Sertifier

Every platform has strengths. Here's what CertSeal offers when you want published pricing, monthly billing, or more certificates on an entry plan.

A bigger free plan

CertSeal's free plan covers 100 certificates a year. Sertifier's covers up to 25 recipients.

1,200 certificates a month for $39

CertSeal Starter includes 1,200 certificates per month at $39/mo. Sertifier's monthly price for 1,000 recipients is $130/mo.

No add-ons

Custom email templates, the REST API and webhooks come with Starter. Sertifier sells branding and advanced analytics as add-ons.

Spreadsheet import that keeps your columns

Upload a CSV or Excel file and every extra column becomes a field you can place on the certificate or in the email. Repeated email addresses are flagged and skipped.

Fix mistakes without a new link

Correct a typo and the certificate re-renders at the same link and QR code. On Plus and up, revoke one issued in error and its page says it's no longer valid.

Works in Claude and ChatGPT

Connect CertSeal to Claude or ChatGPT, then create batches, issue and email certificates, and check a certificate by asking in plain language.
