The digital credential plan your institution needs

POK has three tiers: a free plan with unlimited web-based credential issuance; Blockchain Verify from $0.30 per credential, or a $3,000 annual license covering up to 50,000 credentials; and NFT Ownership packs from $0.80 to $1.50 per credential by volume. There is no setup fee and no annual minimum.

Yes. The Web Based Free plan includes unlimited issuance under Open Badges 3.0, with no user caps, no expiration and no setup costs. Bulk issuance via Excel or API, learning paths and Google Wallet / Apple Wallet export are all included.

Blockchain Verify registers every credential on blockchain with cryptographic proof of authenticity. You can pay $0.30 per credential with no minimum, or an annual license of $3,000 that includes up to 50,000 credentials per year. Everything in the free plan is included.

Every credential is issued as an NFT owned by the recipient, plus the premium features: white-label custom domain, holder branding, custom email provider with your own templates and delivery reports, custom LinkedIn message, employability index, analytics for credentials, pages and learning paths, lead capture pages and Google Ads retargeting, among others. Prepaid packs go from $0.80 to $1.50 per credential depending on volume.

No. POK does not charge variable gas fees.

The price of each NFT credential already includes the full cost of registering the transaction on the blockchain. This gives institutions complete budget predictability — you know exactly what you will pay per credential, without exposure to blockchain network fee volatility.

This is a significant operational advantage for universities and governments planning large-scale credential issuance programs, where unpredictable per-transaction costs would make budgeting difficult.

The free Web2 version has no cost per credential whatsoever — unlimited issuance at zero cost.

No. POK has no setup fee, no onboarding cost and no annual minimum. The free plan is unlimited, Blockchain Verify is $0.30 per credential with no minimum (or a $3,000 annual license), and NFT Ownership packs are bought by volume with no recurring commitment.

POK doesn't lock you into a recurring contract. The free plan is free forever, NFT Ownership packs are a one-time prepaid purchase, and Blockchain Verify can be pay-as-you-go ($0.30 per credential) or an optional annual license. You can stop whenever you want and the credentials you've issued stay live.

They stay valid. Credentials on the free plan keep working with no time limit, and any credential registered on blockchain — hash verification or full NFT — remains verifiable forever, independently of POK. You don't lose access to credentials you've already issued; you only stop issuing new paid ones.

No. Prepaid credential packs do not expire, and issued credentials have no expiration date — blockchain-registered credentials stay verifiable permanently. You decide whether a credential should have a validity period; POK never deactivates them for billing reasons.

Yes. POK offers preferential rates for:

• Non-profit organizations and social impact projects
• Small educational institutions with limited budgets
• Government programs and large-scale national certification initiatives
• Strategic alliances with EdTech networks, accreditation bodies, and international organizations

These rates are applied after validating eligibility requirements and allow access to advanced digital credential technology — including NFT blockchain issuance and full LMS integration — without compromising limited budgets.

Additionally, POK's 100% free unlimited Web2 plan means any institution can start issuing verifiable digital credentials at zero cost, with no time limit or volume restriction.
