The Best Certify'em Alternative for Google Forms Certificates (2026)

If you're looking for a Certify'em alternative, CertifyAll is the closest match — a quiz-aware Google Forms certificate add-on that's cheaper for unlimited certificates and includes Drive backup and retry emails on every plan. Both tools do the same core job: a respondent passes your Google Form quiz, and a certificate is generated and emailed automatically. The differences are in price, templates, and which features sit behind the paywall. Here's an honest, fact-checked comparison (we make CertifyAll, so we'll also tell you plainly when Certify'em is the better pick).

Why people look for a Certify'em alternative

Certify'em is a capable, long-running tool — so people usually shop for an alternative for specific reasons:

• Cost at scale. Certify'em's tiers are volume-based (recipients per day), and the features many people want — Drive storage especially — sit on the $12.99/month Platinum plan.
• They want their own design. Some users prefer building the certificate in Google Slides exactly to their brand rather than starting from a gallery.
• They want a flat unlimited price. A single low monthly cost is simpler to reason about than daily-recipient tiers.

CertifyAll is built around exactly those preferences. Here's how the two line up.

CertifyAll vs Certify'em, side by side

Pricing compared (verified June 2026)

The headline: for unlimited certificates with no watermark and Drive backup, CertifyAll Pro at $5.99/month is the lowest cost — Certify'em's equivalent (Drive storage + branding removed) is the $12.99 Platinum tier.

Where CertifyAll wins

• Lower unlimited price — $5.99/month flat, no daily-recipient ceilings to track.
• Drive backup on every plan — including free; on Certify'em it's Platinum-only.
• Retry emails for failing respondents — students who fall short get their score and an invitation to try again, turning a failure into a second attempt. Certify'em doesn't do this.
• Your design, untouched — the template is your own Google Slides file, so the certificate looks exactly how you built it.

Where Certify'em wins

To keep this honest, Certify'em is the better choice when:

• You need high free-tier volume — 60 recipients/day free is more generous than CertifyAll's 20/month for short bursts.
• You want ready-made designs — its gallery of dozens of templates saves you designing one (though our 15-minute Slides template guide closes most of that gap).
• You need third-party verification — QR-code certificate verification on Platinum is a real feature CertifyAll doesn't offer. If recipients must prove authenticity to an outside party, that matters.

How to switch from Certify'em to CertifyAll

Because both run inside Google Forms, switching is quick and leaves your form and responses untouched:

1. Install CertifyAll. Get it from the Google Workspace Marketplace and open it from your form's add-ons menu.
2. Point it at a Slides template. Paste a Google Slides certificate URL (reuse your existing design or build one from our template guide).
3. Map fields and set your passing score. Match {{name}}, {{score}}, etc., to your questions, and set the threshold.
4. Turn off Certify'em, turn on CertifyAll. New submissions now issue through CertifyAll — same form, same responses, new certificate engine.
