Solution Marketplace
Certified tools built on CRED's open core
Institutions bring a goal — transfer evaluation, advising, degree planning, credentialing, or workforce alignment — and CRED's matching surfaces the certified solutions that best fit it. Matches are ranked by fit to your stated goal, never by who pays the most or who owns the platform, Acadeum's own products included.
How the marketplace stays neutral
Need-based matching
You describe the problem; matching ranks solutions by fit to your stated goal. Every match shows its full score breakdown — and vendor payments to CRED are structurally excluded from ranking.
Certification is earned
Only certified, conformant solutions are listed. Certification is earned against public conformance materials and the sandbox, the full check-by-check report is public on every listing, and the Mission Control Board — not Acadeum — decides who appears.
Revenue funds free access
Vendors pay CRED 10% of subscriptions sold here. That revenue — not institutional fees — sustains the free, open data core and the Financial Support Fund that subsidizes under-resourced institutions. Core data stays free for everyone, in perpetuity.
