Credly · Pricing Plans

Credly Plans Pricing

Credly (a Pearson company) does not publish self-serve, list-price API plans. Credly is sold as a B2B digital credentialing platform to issuing organizations under a contract with Credly/Pearson sales, typically priced on the volume of credentials (badges) issued and the platform features required. The Web Service API and sandbox are entitlements of an organization's Credly subscription - API access is granted to paying issuing organizations rather than sold as a standalone metered API product. Recipients (badge earners) accept and share badges for free. Exact per-badge, credit, or tier pricing is not published and must be obtained from Credly sales.
