[SimpleCert Claims vs Evidence](https://www.g2.com/products/simplecert/claims-vs-evidence) # SimpleCert Claims vs Evidence ## Claim: “There is no cost to email or print certificates.” ##### Disputed by reviews. Relevant reviewers describe paying to send certificates or being charged per certificate, which conflicts with the claim that emailing certificates has no cost. Another reviewer reports that there is no print section, and no reviewers specifically support cost-free emailing or printing. - “The limit on templates - if I have to pay to send the certificates anyway, why limit to 2 templates only?” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13332104) - “maybe the price of every single certificate” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12958796) - “There is no a print section incase I need to print a physical certificate” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12963239) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “When you are creating certificates for your recipients, your ONLY cost will be for the credits used to create those certificates.” ##### Disputed by reviews. Relevant reviewers consistently describe costs beyond credits used for individual certificates, including subscriptions, premium templates, plan tiers, and unused monthly credits. Although some reviewers mention buying credits on demand, the reviews more strongly indicate that credits are not necessarily the only cost. - “Some features requires credits or subscription, which can be limiting for users” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13343557) - “Depending on your plan tier, extra certificate templates outside of basic options carry additional costs, and template variety can feel sparse compared to newer competitors.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13241689) - “Pricing is also based on a monthly credit system, so if certificate volume is unpredictable, you can end up paying for unused credits one month and scrambling for more the next.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13229767) - “Scalability Bottlenecks: For high-volume issuers, manual CSV workflows and pay-per-template or credit-tier pricing models can become inefficient and expensive compared to fully automated API or LMS integrations.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13212171) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “There is no cost to download, print or send certificates from your account.” ##### Disputed by reviews. Most relevant reviewers describe costs for credits, subscriptions, or sending individual certificates, though one reviewer notes that the free version is generous. The reviews therefore materially contradict the claim that downloading, printing, or sending certificates has no cost. - “Some features requires credits or subscription, which can be limiting for users” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13343557) - “if I have to pay to send the certificates anyway” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13332104) - “maybe the price of every single certificate” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12958796) - “the free version is very generous.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12544804) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “You can use merge variables to account for any textual differences between certificates, without needing to purchase additional templates.” ##### Mixed support from reviews. Reviewers report using merge variables and saved field mappings to personalize certificates without redesigning each one. However, another reviewer notes that longer text may not fit automatically, while others report paying extra for additional templates, so the claim is only partially supported. - “I am able to upload my own design, add the merge variables I need to match, and then all I do is upload my class list and I'm done.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/11522919) - “The fields on your cert do not auto adjust by font or size to accommodate longer detail like name or location.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12629441) - “I have to pay more money for additional templates.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12865654) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “Upload your list of names and other data that is unique to each certificate and email.” ##### Supported by reviews. Relevant reviewers consistently report uploading recipient data or spreadsheets, using it to personalize certificates, and emailing the resulting certificates in bulk. - “I like SimpleCert because of it enables me upload a spreadsheet of names and unique data for it to automate the personalization process and issue many certificates back to me at once.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13193853) - “The bulk certificate sending process is incredibly efficient — I can upload a recipient list, personalize each certificate automatically, and send them all out with one click, without needing any design or technical background.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13252492) - “By merging recipient data from Excel or CSV files into personalized notification templates, it allows you to send official certificate download links to hundreds of people at once” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13206101) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “Track email delivery and store certificates.” ##### Supported by reviews. Relevant reviewers report direct delivery tracking and automatic certificate storage with access tracking, consistently supporting both parts of the claim. - “Its seamless integration with customizable email templates and direct delivery tracking makes distributing high volumes of professional credentials practically effortless” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13190844) - “I also appreciate that certificates are automatically stored and I can track who has accessed or downloaded theirs, which is great for record-keeping.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13231029) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “Send emails to your recipients with links to download their certificates.” ##### Supported by reviews. Relevant reviewers report that SimpleCert emails certificates directly to recipients with download links, including in bulk. Some reviewers note that messages may occasionally bounce, land in spam, or require manual resending, but this concerns delivery reliability rather than the availability of the email-and-link functionality. - “it allows you to send official certificate download links to hundreds of people at once” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13206101) - “Automated email distribution directly to recipients saves immense administrative effort, making bulk certificate creation for courses, webinars, or events fast, reliable, and smooth thus enabling efficient running in my organization.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13290333) - “The recipient will receive an email with their certificates, and can also easily create an account to access all their stored certificates.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/11181251) - “the automated emails sometimes bounce or fail to deliver, forcing me to manually identify which clients didn't receive their certificate and resend them one by one.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13242263) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “Build personalized certificate and email templates by adding your own images and text.” ##### Supported by reviews. Relevant reviewers report being able to edit certificate templates, add images, and use personalized notification templates with custom email branding. Some reviewers note that email-template elements and broader design customization remain limited, but the reviews generally support the claimed functionality. - “I like that it offers an option to edit the background of a template. I also like that can add an image to the design.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13337646) - “I like SimpleCert because it offers an option to edit the template easily, and I can even add images and different characters .” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13218526) - “What makes SimpleCert stand out for sending emails is its seamless combination of automated bulk distribution and custom email branding directly within the certificate creation workflow. By merging recipient data from Excel or CSV files into personalized notification templates, it allows you to send official certificate download links to hundreds of people at once” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13206101) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/) ## Claim: “Certificates that you create are active and available forever, unless you decide to place an expiration date on them, or delete them from your account.” ##### Supported by reviews. Relevant reviewers report that certificates are stored, remain accessible, and can be retrieved or resent when needed. However, these reviews support ongoing availability but do not establish the specific “forever” duration or confirm the expiration-date and deletion controls stated in the claim. - “the fact that the certificates are stored in the same platform, because it makes it much easier to keep track of what I've issued and resend one when necessary.” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13340359) - “I can store all the certificates from my past trainings and access it when I need” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/12629886) - “students or clients can log in anytime to retrieve their credentials without needing to contact support” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/13238924) Last updated Oct 5, 2026 Source: [https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/](https://www.simplecert.net/pricing/)
