TRUE Original gives you what Certifier doesn't: public blockchain verification on four chains, credentials that live on your own domain, eIDAS compliance, and full animated certificate design - not templates, not badges, but documents your recipients are proud to share.
Certifier is a solid certificate maker. It's fast, handles bulk issuance well, and gets the job done for event certificates and online course completions. But when organisations need more - they start looking for an alternative.
Certifier verifies certificates through its own database. If Certifier's servers change or go down - verification depends on Certifier staying exactly as it is. TRUE writes every document to a public blockchain - Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, or Polygon. The proof exists permanently, independently of TRUE.
With Certifier, your credentials live on Certifier's domain. When a recipient shares their certificate, the link points to Certifier - not to your organisation. TRUE puts credentials on your own custom domain. Every share drives traffic and authority back to you.
TRUE is eIDAS compliant and Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure, headquartered in Stockholm. For European organisations - or anyone issuing credentials to European recipients - this is a level of regulatory alignment Certifier can't match.

"Blockchain-secured" gets thrown around loosely. TRUE backs it up. Every document is hashed with SHA-256 and anchored on one of four public blockchains. This isn't a marketing claim - it's a cryptographic fact that anyone can verify independently.
In a world where AI can generate convincing fake certificates in seconds, a database lookup isn't enough. Blockchain is the only verification method that's permanent, independent, and tamper-proof.
Certifier gives you templates. TRUE gives you animated, interactive, beautifully designed documents - certificates that look like certificates, diplomas that look like diplomas, awards that feel significant.
When a credential looks impressive, recipients share it. When they share it, your brand gains visibility. Design isn't decoration - it's what drives the marketing value.
This is the single most overlooked differentiator in the credential platform space. Where your credentials live matters.
With TRUE, they live on your domain. When a graduate shares their diploma, the link goes to your website. When a certified professional adds their credential to LinkedIn, it drives traffic to your brand. Every credential becomes a permanent backlink and marketing asset.
The EU's Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services regulation sets the standard for electronic documents in Europe. TRUE is built to comply.
For universities, government bodies, professional associations, and any organisation operating under EU regulations, this isn't optional - it's expected.
"For professional licences, safety certifications, healthcare credentials, and formal diplomas - the difference between database verification and blockchain verification matters."
TRUE is used by organisations where credential integrity isn't negotiable.
These aren't event certificates or webinar badges. These are formal credentials where verification, compliance, and design all matter. 200+ organisations across 15+ countries trust TRUE.
TRUE's team can help you plan a migration. Since Certifier credentials aren't on blockchain, migration typically involves re-issuing credentials through TRUE - which means your recipients get an upgraded, blockchain-secured version on your domain.
Most organisations are issuing within days. TRUE's API has just 5 endpoints - connect it to your LMS, CRM, or training platform without a lengthy integration project.
TRUE integrates with Canvas LMS, Moodle, Learnster, Salesforce, and more. The REST API connects to any platform that can make HTTP requests. If Certifier's Zapier/Make integrations are important to your workflow, TRUE's API offers the same automation with more control.
TRUE prices per document issued - not per recipient per year. For organisations that issue certificates with long lifespans (diplomas, licences, professional certifications), this model is often more cost-effective. Contact TRUE for a quote tailored to your volume.
Yes. TRUE is eIDAS compliant - the EU regulation for electronic identification and trust services. It's also Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
