What It Is

CertTracker is a certificate and license expiration management tool for small teams, designed to replace spreadsheets for tracking employee credentials. It focuses on cleaning companies, construction subcontractors, and security firms, but it can also fit any business that needs to manage employee certifications, permits, and renewals. The product page indicates that it is still in the “Launching soon / Join waitlist” stage.

Core Features

The core workflow is straightforward: first add employee names, roles, and phone numbers, either one by one or in bulk via CSV/spreadsheet import; then upload certificate PDFs, photos, or scans and set expiration dates. The system sends email and SMS reminders to both employees and managers 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiration. The admin side provides a compliance status dashboard that separates compliant, expiring soon, and expired items, and supports one-click generation of shareable compliance reports. For team collaboration, it supports multiple managers and role-based permissions, including Owner, Admin, Manager, and Viewer, while retaining employee history. The Pro plan also includes API access, though developer documentation and integration details are not disclosed.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is relatively clear: the Free plan is $0/month, supports up to 5 employees, includes email reminders and 1GB of document storage, and does not require a credit card. Starter is $29/month for up to 25 employees, adding SMS reminders, 10GB of storage, and compliance reports. Pro is $79/month with unlimited employees, 100GB of storage, priority support, and API access. The page also mentions a lifetime 50% discount for the first 50 businesses, while larger teams can book a demo for custom arrangements.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a focused positioning and a short onboarding path, making it especially suitable for small businesses that still use Excel to manage certificate validity. SMS plus email reminders, centralized document storage, and report exports are practical for client audits. The limitations are that the product has not officially launched yet, so real-world stability, support capability, and feature completeness remain to be verified. On security, it only mentions “secure storage” without details on encryption, backups, permission auditing, or compliance certifications. Third-party integrations are also almost entirely absent, aside from the Pro API.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses with many certificate types and relatively high employee turnover, but that do not want to purchase a complex EHS or HR system. If used from China, it is worth noting that support for Chinese phone numbers, USD payment methods, and network connectivity are all unspecified, so access from China should be considered unknown. Domestic alternatives could include building a similar workflow with Feishu/Lark or DingTalk spreadsheets, low-code forms, or local HR/training management systems.
