For vendors

IDSync badges: earned, verifiable, free

IDSync badges are earned only. They derive from our published editorial picks and research coverage — the same data that renders on our comparison pages — and every badge can be verified against the live eligibility lists below. Badges cannot be bought. Sponsorship buys the separate, clearly-labeled placements described on /sponsor, never a badge. If we change a pick, eligibility changes with it.

For the 28 vendors covered in IDSync's 2026 landscape report. Inclusion was editorial — no vendor paid to appear. The badge links to the report, where readers can verify your coverage.

Program rules

  • • Badges are free and earned only. There is no paid path to any badge, and sponsorship does not confer one.
  • • Hotlink the SVG from idsync.com (as in the embed code) rather than self-hosting — badges carry the year and we retire or update them when picks change.
  • • The badge must link to the IDSync page that substantiates it (the embed code does this for you).
  • • We may ask you to remove a badge if eligibility lapses; the live lists on this page are the source of truth.
  • • Questions or a missing eligible vendor? Contact us.
