BagEvent vs Grenadine

BagEvent provides event websites, registration, ticketing and payments, on-site check-in and badges, and reports for conferences, corporate events, and trade shows. It runs on the web, Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Staff check-in apps can scan an event roster downloaded in advance and sync queued check-ins when the connection returns. Ticket sales carry a 0% platform fee and settle to the organizer’s own Stripe or PayPal account. Pro costs $99/month billed annually or $129/month billed monthly, and includes five events per month, up to 1,000 attendees per event, five team members, and one custom domain. Business costs $479/month billed annually or $599/month billed monthly, with an API and webhooks. The API reads attendee and order information but cannot create registrations or change orders; the service has no built-in one-click CRM connectors. A 14-day Pro trial requires no credit card, though paid-ticket use is limited to 50 registrations, $10 per order, and $500 total. Organizer and attendee data is hosted on Google Cloud Platform in Singapore. BagEvent says it holds no security certification.

Grenadine is cloud-based event management software for planning, managing, and running events. Its tools cover registration, online ticketing, schedule building, event websites, mobile apps, exhibitor lead services, and self-serve portals. Organizers can set ticket types and currencies, collect custom registration questions, and use waitlists for sessions or activities. Grenadine generates a public micro-website for each event, with responsive layouts for computers, tablets, and phones. Event apps for iOS and Android can include schedules, push notifications, attendee profiles, messaging, and e-ticketing. Documented JSON web service APIs provide two-way programmatic access to event data, with Swagger UI documentation. Virtual sessions can use Zoom, Vimeo, YouTube, Jitsi, and other services. Ticket payments use Stripe; enterprise customers can also use Moneris or Paysafe. Grenadine is paid, offers a free trial, and lists pricing on request. A third-party listing gives a price of $79.95 a month, billed per feature, per month; the maker’s current pricing page was not found.
