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.
Stop renting Accredible.
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 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
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.

Accredible gives every recipient unlimited credentials and runs the whole credential program — pathways, analytics and a hosted wallet — at a scale a single-tenant install is not trying to reach.

Stay with Accredible if you need the program 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 organization per installation, and provenance by lookup rather than cryptography.
What Certora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Accredible.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Accredible's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Certora vs renting comparison.
Questions about moving off Accredible.
Is the verification cryptographic?
Can verification codes collide?
What stops someone brute-forcing the verify page?
Can I revoke a certificate?
