description: >-
  Accredible is priced by the number of unique recipients per year, not by the
  number of credentials - an organization can issue unlimited certificates and
  badges to each unique recipient within its annual allowance. The self-service
  entry tier is Launch (list price around $45/month on a 12-month commitment,
  starting at 50 unique recipients). Higher tiers - Connect and Growth - add
  automation, integrations, brand control, and hands-on support and are sold at
  custom pricing that scales with recipient volume. Enterprise-style
  arrangements (white-label, SSO, SLAs) are negotiated. The API is included in
  the platform subscription; there is no separate per-API-call charge.
notes: >-
  Public tier names and the Launch entry price were read from accredible.com
  pricing and third-party marketplaces; Connect, Growth, and enterprise pricing
  are quote-based and were not published as fixed numbers. Verify current tiers,
  recipient allowances, and prices on the Accredible pricing page during
  reconciliation.
