Why teams switch

Why Teams Choose CertTracker Over CertLedge

Same focused idea — broader toolkit, and the onboarding help isn't locked behind the top tier.

Training tracking is built in

CertLedge tracks certifications well, but training lives somewhere else. CertTracker combines certifications, training courses, class sessions, and assignments in one system — so renewals, completions, and compliance reports all come from the same data.

Free import on every plan — not just $190/month

CertLedge reserves its done-for-you spreadsheet import for the $189.99 Scale plan. With CertTracker, send us your spreadsheet on any plan and our team imports your employees and certifications for free.

Scan certificates with your phone

CertTracker’s AI cert scanner reads a photo of a certificate and auto-fills issue dates, expiry dates, and the certification type. No more typing dates from crumpled cards in the break room.

More employees per dollar

CertTracker’s $49 Starter covers 50 employees with unlimited certifications and email reminders at five intervals. SMS reminders are available on Pro and up. If your team is growing past 15 people, the math favors CertTracker quickly.
