Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start with Free and upgrade later?
Yes. Every account starts with 10 free credentials a month. Buy credit packs anytime, or upgrade to Basic/Pro for monthly allotments. All your data comes with you.
What happens when I hit my credential limit?
You'll see your credit balance in the app. When credits run out, buy a pack to continue issuing — or upgrade to a subscription for monthly credits.
Can I switch between monthly and annual billing?
Yes, anytime from your account settings. Switching to annual saves you 20%—$48/year on Basic, $120/year on Pro.
Can I upgrade from Basic to Pro (or downgrade)?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period, so you keep your current features until then.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) via Stripe. Your card details are never stored on our servers.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Cancel with one click from Settings → Billing. No questions asked, no fees. You keep your current plan features until the end of your billing period. You'll continue receiving 10 free credentials a month on the free tier.
What happens to my data if I downgrade to Free?
We never delete your data. You keep all existing credentials. You'll receive 10 free credentials a month and can buy packs anytime.
Do purchased credits expire?
No. Purchased credit packs never expire. Your 10 monthly free credits reset at the start of each month (use-it-or-lose-it).
What counts as a credit?
One credit = one credential issued. Editing, emailing, verifying, and downloading existing credentials is always free.
Do you offer discounts for schools or non-profits?
Yes. Contact us at support@certlister.com to discuss special pricing for educational institutions and non-profit organizations.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you're unhappy within the first 3 months of a paid subscription, contact us for a full refund, no questions asked.
