I don't recall if either identifies that information specifically, but there's a whole collection of browsable stats and collected papers here [1] and another paper here [2]. I expect any certificate related stats will change significantly in the near future there's as each MOOC seems to be de-emphasizing or getting rid of 'honor' certificates. 1: http://odl.mit.edu/insights/ http://odl.mit.edu/insights/ 2: http://www.rpajournal.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/SF2.pdf http://www.rpajournal.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/SF2...

That's my perception as well. I've noticed some edX courses in particular pushing pretty hard on verified/paid certificates and eliminating the option of a free certificate. I can't say I'm especially surprised. MOOCs have struggled with their business models and having a free certificate option just further reduces the incentive for people to pay for a verified certificate. I notice that the upcoming Linux Foundation edX course, for example, only gives options to audit and to pay for a verified certificate.
