In their own words
Openbadges.me
Openbadges.me helps educators and organisations recognise achievement by designing and issuing digital badges and credentials. Organisations can define badges to their specifications, manage administrator permissions and issue credentials on behalf of multiple issuers. A rules-based engine can automate issuing from numerical scores, text input or event data. Recipients can show verified badges on LinkedIn, online and on social media, or access them from email or a free backpack account. Features include enhanced reporting and multilingual badges that support non-English characters. Integrations include Google Sheets and Forms plugins, an API for organisational software, and reporting exports to systems such as Power BI. White labelling can apply an organisation's branding and URLs to badge pages and remove Openbadges.me branding. The service is offered on the web and through an API. The STARTER plan is free for up to 10 badge recipients, with unlimited badges per year. Paid plans start at $55 a month for up to 500 recipients; enterprise package pricing is by enquiry.
