POK - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

POK is a blockchain-based digital credentials platform trusted by 1,100+ universities, governments, and companies across 19 countries. With over 1.5 million credentials issued and 1 million shared, POK is the leading alternative to Credly and Accredible for institutions that need verifiable, tamper-proof credentialing at any scale.

The only platform with a 100% free unlimited plan

POK is the only digital credentials platform in the market offering a completely free plan with unlimited issuance — no setup fees, no user caps, no credit expiration, and no lock-in. Institutions can issue, manage, and verify unlimited Open Badges 3.0 credentials at zero cost, making enterprise-grade credentialing accessible to organizations of all sizes.

NFT credentials on public blockchain — a genuine differentiator

Unlike platforms that store credentials on private servers or use blockchain only as a secondary record, POK issues credentials as NFTs on Polygon and LacNet — public blockchains. This means each credential is uniquely identifiable, permanently traceable, and verifiable by anyone without depending on POK's infrastructure. Recipients own their credentials in a personal wallet. If the institution disappears, the credential remains valid forever.

Security and compliance you can prove

POK holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II certifications — the two most recognized information security standards for SaaS platforms. The platform is also certified by 1EdTech (formerly IMS Global) for Open Badges 3.0, and is fully compatible with W3C Verifiable Credentials, the European Learning Model (ELM/Europass), GDPR, and LTI. POK is one of the few platforms outside Europe with full ELM compatibility, making credentials portable and recognized across EU member states.

White-label with complete institutional branding

Institutions deploy POK under their own brand — custom credential design, domain, and email communications. Recipients experience a fully institution-branded journey, reinforcing institutional prestige rather than a third-party platform's identity.

Integrations that fit existing workflows

POK integrates natively with Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, Google Classroom, Open edX, D2L Brightspace, Salesforce, and HubSpot via LTI and open APIs. Credential issuance becomes part of existing workflows in minutes, with no complex development required.

Analytics that measure real career impact
