Best for conference registration, badges and check-in
Eventleaf covers registration, badge printing and check-in, with a free plan for up to 100 attendees a year and paid plans from $500 a year for 500 attendees. The check-in app, attendee app and certificates start at Professional ($2,000 a year), and payments carry a 6% fee on pay-as-you-go.
Who Eventleaf is for
- Fits if you run small conferences and need badges printed on site
- Works for events under 100 attendees a year on the free plan
Who Eventleaf is not for
- Tight if you stay on Starter, as it caps at 100 attendees a year
- Pricey if you need the check-in app, which starts at Professional, $2,000 a year
- Watch out: the sales fee on payments is 6% on pay-as-you-go or 3% with your own processor, and it is non-refundable
- Watch out: lead retrieval, abstracts, SSO and the CRM integrations are Ultimate only, with API and Zapier as add-ons
- Watch out: email is capped at 50 times the attendee limit and SMS at 2 times
Why Eventleaf gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$500 a year for 500 attendees is about $42 a month, between the category's cheaper quarter ($20) and middle ($60), but the check-in and attendee apps start at $2,000 a year and payments carry a 3-6% sales fee.
- CFree plan and trialStarter is free for up to 100 attendees a year with unlimited events and users, registration, badge printing and surveys; Ultimate features can be tried on events under 20 registrations.
- BFeaturesRegistration and payments, badge design and printing, a check-in app, an attendee app, exhibitor tools and certificates, though some are gated by plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build each event, set up tickets and payments and test the checkout yourself, so there is a learning curve.
- APlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone, Android and Windows, with HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Lobbytrack and Zapier listed and API and Zapier access as add-ons.

Keep Eventleaf, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Eventleaf you could make: forms and surveys. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $500 a year.
What you could make
- Forms and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Marketo and Salesforce among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Eventleaf’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
