The self-hosted Accredible alternative
Certora — Self-hosted certificate verification for training providers and awarding bodies: every certificate carries a unique code an employer can check on a verify page you host yourself. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Accredible every month.
Accredible Launch "starts at $45 /month" on a 12-month term billed monthly, 50 recipients to get started; Connect and Growth are "custom plans available". The page's own structured data describes Launch instead as "starting at $996.00 for a 12-month term" — both figures are on the page Certora is $79.00 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
How Accredible pricing grows with you
Accredible bills monthly but sells a 12-month term, so the monthly figure is a commitment for a year rather than a month-to-month price, and the recipient allowance is what moves you up a plan.

What Accredible does that we don't
Accredible gives every recipient unlimited credentials and runs the whole credential programme — pathways, analytics and a hosted wallet — at a scale a single-tenant install is not trying to reach.

Who should stay with Accredible
Stay with Accredible if you need the programme layer: learner pathways, engagement analytics, a hosted wallet and badge standards on their infrastructure. Certora issues PDFs from your own server and answers /verify/{code} against your own database — one organisation per installation, and provenance by lookup rather than cryptography. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Accredible
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Accredible's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Certora vs Accredible comparison.
