SuTan Certificate Platform

SuTan Certificate Platform is a web tool for creating, issuing and verifying certificates, aimed at organisations that need to manage learner or attendee credentials in batches. Its strongest case is a workflow that joins spreadsheet-based creation to QR verification; its free tier is best treated as a small-scale starting point.

Overview

SuTan combines a drag-and-drop certificate designer with bulk creation from CSV or Google Sheets. Issuers can use uploaded background artwork, then deliver certificates as PDFs or, on paid plans, by email through Gmail or SMTP. Google Sheets can detect new rows automatically, including form responses, which can reduce repeated manual imports for ongoing programmes.

Each certificate carries a QR code leading to a hosted verification page that recipients can check without an account. SuTan says it creates a permanent hash when a certificate is issued and that certificates remain available if an account closes. That supports continuing verification, though it does not replace an organisation's own credential records.

Key features

Batch creation and delivery

CSV and Sheets input suit recurring classes, training cohorts and events better than one-at-a-time certificate tools. The free plan caps a batch at 20 certificates and does not include bulk email, so larger cohorts or direct delivery require a paid plan. SuTan's recipient limit is 100, a constraint to keep in mind when planning a batch.

Verification and sharing

QR-linked verification lets employers or other recipients check certificate details without signing up. Email sharing options for LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Facebook give recipients convenient ways to circulate credentials. Issuers that need their own identity on the verification page can move to Pro for partial branding removal and one custom domain, or Enterprise for full white-label branding and five domains.

Existing data workflows

SuTan works alongside an ERP by importing learner data exported as CSV. Enterprise API integration can be discussed with support, but the standard workflow described is spreadsheet- or file-based rather than a direct ERP connection.

Pricing

SuTan offers a free plan and three monthly paid tiers. There is no free trial. Payments are supported through UPI, card and netbanking via Razorpay, and each payment receives a GST invoice.

Plan	Price	What it includes	Best fit
Free	Price not listed	100 certificates/month, one team member, up to 20 per batch, PDF output, no bulk emailing, and SuTan branding on the verification page.	Individuals or small programmes validating the workflow before paying; the monthly quota and batch cap make it a poor fit for frequent larger cohorts.
Starter	₹499 a month	Unlimited certificates, bulk email up to 100 per batch, bulk download up to 500 per batch, and two team members.	Small teams that need email delivery and higher batch capacity without custom domains.
Pro	₹1,999 a month	Unlimited certificates, bulk email up to 1,000 per batch, unlimited bulk download, five team members, and one custom verification domain.	Growing training or event operations that send large batches and want some control over verification branding.
Enterprise	₹4,999 a month	Unlimited certificates and bulk sending, 20 team members, five custom domains, full white-label branding, and dedicated support.	Organisations issuing at scale across teams or brands that need full branding and dedicated support.

The free tier offers a meaningful test of design, PDF output and QR verification, but its one-seat limit, 100-certificate monthly quota and lack of email delivery are restrictive for active operations. Starter lifts certificate volume but still caps email at 100 and downloads at 500 per batch. Pro removes the download cap and raises email capacity, while Enterprise is the only tier with unlimited bulk sending and full white-label branding.

Platforms

SuTan is available on the web. It accepts CSV recipient data and connects to Google Sheets; PDF is the stated export format.

Who it's for

Trainers, institutes, corporate learning teams, event organisers and academies issuing repeated batches are the natural audience. SuTan is a stronger fit when QR-based public verification and spreadsheet-driven creation matter together. It is less compelling for a solo user issuing occasional certificates who needs neither batch email nor team collaboration, or for a business requiring a direct ERP integration without an Enterprise discussion.

Pros and cons

• Pros: CSV and Google Sheets batch workflows reduce repetitive entry for recurring cohorts.
• Pros: QR verification works without an account, making certificates easier for outside recipients to check.
• Pros: Paid plans scale from two to 20 team members and add meaningful sending and branding capacity.
• Cons: Free certificates are limited to 100 per month and 20 per batch, with no bulk email.
• Cons: Starter still limits bulk email to 100 and bulk downloads to 500 per batch, which may force an upgrade as cohort sizes grow.
• Cons: ERP use relies on CSV export unless an Enterprise API arrangement is pursued.

Alternatives

• MailMergic is worth considering when document-generation needs extend beyond SuTan's certificate workflow; its free plan allows 25 documents per month for one user, with watermarks, and it supports API, macOS, web and Windows.
• DesignCap suits readers prioritising general design work: its free web plan includes limited templates and stock media, five image uploads, five saved designs and JPG exports.
• EZdoc AI Certificate Maker is an option for a smaller free certificate allowance with CSV and XLSX upload: its free plan includes 25 copies per month and three lifetime designs.
• SimpleCert may suit users who want API integration or custom SMTP settings on a free plan, which includes 50 introductory credits.
• Berlvis Credentials is an alternative for readers seeking ID-card templates and generation, with a free watermarked studio plan and a paid ID Cards tier.
• Certhive is another web-based e-certificate option.
• CertificatesMaker is a free-forever web alternative with no limitations stated for its free plan.
• Certifier is another credential platform with API and web access; its free Starter plan allows up to 250 credentials per year for one user.

Verdict

Choose SuTan if your organisation issues certificates in recurring batches and wants recipients to verify them by QR code without an account. Its spreadsheet workflow and escalating team, email and branding limits make it practical across small and larger operations. Look elsewhere if a small monthly free allowance is insufficient, or if your workflow depends on a direct ERP connection rather than CSV import or a separately discussed Enterprise API.
