Blockchain-secured credentials. Your custom domain. Full design control. Proven marketing value. See why organizations are switching from Credly to TRUE.
Credly is recognized in digital credentials. But it isn't the right fit for every organization. If you're here, you've probably encountered these limitations:
All credentials live on credly.com. Verifiers see Credly's branding.
Credentials live on your domain: credentials.yourorganization.com
Why it matters: For universities and associations where brand equity matters, putting credentials on a third-party domain dilutes your brand presence.
Digital badges: small icons for skill completion and micro-credentials.
Full credentials: certificates, diplomas, awards, licenses. Animated, interactive.
Why it matters: A training badge and a medical diploma serve different purposes. Badge icons don't convey appropriate prestige for high-value credentials.
Centralized database. Verification checks against Credly's systems.
Written to 4 blockchains. Cryptographically tamper-proof. Permanently verifiable.
Why it matters: For credentials where forgery has serious consequences, blockchain provides security guarantees centralized databases cannot match.
Basic analytics on badge views and shares.
Full marketing ROI tracking. €9.5M+ proven value. 100M+ impressions tracked.
Why it matters: Credentials are marketing assets. TRUE quantifies the value so you can demonstrate ROI to stakeholders.
