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 Track how credentials are shared on LinkedIn, added to professional profiles, and contribute to career advancement. Identify which certificates drive visibility and opportunity — enabling data-driven decisions to optimize credentialing programs over time.

If you have an Open edX site and you are worried because: 1) out of the box certificate template is not acceptable, 2) there is no PDF download option, 3) customizing your template is a nightmare, 4) certificates are not portable out of the site, 5) other options are hard to integrate; then you should consider POK. In addition, NFT and LinkedIn integration add a huge value to your LMS. > > **Cons**: At the beginning it was hard to build the integration but now that we built a Tutor plugin it is much easier. > > With POK we finally solved a long lasting problem we had, that is to overcome the difficulties of setting up Open edX certificates and giving high quality PDF certificates to all our customers. ----- ### "POK: VERY GOOD PLATFORM FOR CREDENTIALS" — 5.0/5 > **Ezequiel** | *20 August 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: POK is very easy to use, highly intuitive, user-friendly, and it’s integrated with all LMS and CRM platforms, especially Moodle, which I personally use. It’s also much cheaper than the rest, even though it’s the only one that works with NFTs > > **Cons**: It was difficult for me to get in touch with them, and it took me some effort to get an appointment for help with the integration. They really need to improve that. > > Once I got in touch with them, I first tried the free version and then switched to the NFT version. I was able to easily negotiate the price, and they gave me a much better deal than the market rate. As I started using it, I began to notice the unique features it offers. ----- ### "Maybe the next credential unicorn" — 5.0/5 > **Jhon** | *29 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its very easy to use. I setup my desing, and then i issue 120 credentials using an excel with their names and emails. No more than that. It was amazing. > > **Cons**: Uhm, maybe i would like to have the possibility to register myself without password, only using OTP so i dont have to remmember one more password > > For the time i used its perfect, i dont have any complaint about the platform. Its very quickly, nice, have a lot of features, have blockchain security, very nive ppl on sales. ----- ### "A must have for Educational Institutions and Corporate Training" — 5.0/5 > **Gustavo** | *21 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It solves a market need, does it conveniently, effortlessly, and for free. Now we can have a clear and updated track of all our training participants. > > **Cons**: Nothing in particular at this time. We had some early needs, but the POK team improved the product over time and addressed our needs > > Great product, excellent customer service. They continue to add features and improve the product. It gives an incentive to our user to continue educating themselves toward new badges and certificates ----- ### "POK - Proof of knowledge" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I discovered POK through one of the institutions I work with, and soon noticed it being used more widely. Once I started using it, I understood why. POK takes digital credentials beyond the traditional by using NFTs on public blockchains, giving users true ownership with credentials stored in their own wallets. Its interoperability is excellent, complying with ELM, OpenBadge 3.0, and other standards that simplify integration. Issuing credentials is straightforward, and we integrated it with our LMS in no time. > > **Cons**: Although i've been recommending POK since i started using it, unfortunately they lacks the visibility of some its competitors, though not due to an inferior product. Initially, it can be confusing to understand how they use NFT technology and the value it adds, as the term has been associated with areas far from education > > I've been using POK for about a year, and I can confirm two things: Every question or concern is promptly addressed and heard. The improvement cycle is very fast. Using the platform means discovering new features regularly. The team listens to suggestions and feature requests, and some of the ones i've sent have already been implemented. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/530253/POK?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/530253/POK) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
