Awardify vs Evessio

Awardify is a web platform for organizing awards programs from submissions through judging and winner publication. Organizers can create custom categories and entry forms, accept nominations, track entries, save progress, send reminders, and collect file uploads. Judges score entries against configurable criteria, add comments, and use progress reports and leaderboards; programs can also offer public voting. A customizable public website can show sponsors, event pages, galleries, and winners, while handling ticket payments. Stripe processes entry fees, gala tickets, and sponsor signups, and invoice payment is also available. Entries and public voting data can be exported to CSV, with an API described for data extraction. Awardify says websites run on its private server and that it controls performance and security. Support includes phone, email, video, onboarding, backups, and a pre-launch check. Pricing includes $379, paid once for setup and $1,979 a year for the annual subscription.

Evessio is a platform for running awards programmes and conferences, combining event setup, participant management, and revenue tools. Its awards module includes branded entry websites, entry management, online judging, AI-structured judge feedback, communications, seating, revenue, and reporting. Judges can score entries using flexible criteria and rounds, with conflict-of-interest controls. The conference module covers a conference website, delegate registration, speaker and abstract management, sponsors, check-in, and reporting. A revenue portal supports payment gateways, multiple currencies, e-commerce, refunds, partial payments, and invoice generation. Evessio also provides API access and Zapier triggers for new events, event users, transactions, and tickets. The platform is available on web and iOS, with registration forms, ticketing, onsite check-in, an attendee app, attendee email, and exhibitor tools.
