What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 23 of the 45 other event ticketing platforms we grade
Eventleaf is event management software for registration, payment collection, badge design and printing, and on-site check-in. Higher plans add an attendee app, a check-in app that works offline and a lead retrieval app. Pricing is built around how many attendees an organization registers per year.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Eventleaf, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build each event, set up tickets and payments and test the checkout yourself, so there is a learning curve.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Starter 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. |
| Features | B | Registration and payments, badge design and printing, a check-in app, an attendee app, exhibitor tools and certificates, though some are gated by plan. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build each event, set up tickets and payments and test the checkout yourself, so there is a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, iPhone, Android and Windows, with HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Lobbytrack and Zapier listed and API and Zapier access as add-ons. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
