In their own words
CanCred Factory
CanCred Factory is a cloud platform for organizations to create, issue, and manage digital credential ecosystems. It supports verifiable credentials based on Open Badges 3.0, with multilingual badges, third-party endorsements, framework alignments, and evidence-based application forms. Badges can be arranged into nested milestone pathways with branching and required or elective steps. Pro adds customizable PDF badges. The platform lists plugins for Moodle, Totara LMS, WordPress, Priima, ItsLearning, Canvas LMS, and D2L Brightspace; Canvas and Brightspace integrations require Pro-level LTI. Developers can use a documented Open RESTful API, while LTI services are available on Pro. Plans include Free, Basic at C$495 a year, Premium at C$1,295 a year, and Pro at C$2,365 a year. A 60-day Pro trial is available; afterward, an account without a paid subscription falls back to Free, limited to two usable badges. The maker says issued badges remain hosted and verifiable indefinitely, guaranteed for at least two years. CanCred Passport is a free companion portfolio for recipients on web, iOS, and Android.
