In their own words
CredsNow
CredsNow is an onsite event platform for check-in, badge printing, sessions, lead retrieval, digital badges, and event project management. Its online designer lets teams create branded badge templates, with unlimited designs available on a free account. Self-service kiosks can check in attendees and print badges through QR codes or name lookup. A cloud print agent connects printers for distributed, on-demand printing across stations. The Session module supports QR scanning, attendance tracking, real-time dashboards, credit tracking, and access control. Listed integrations include Cvent, Swoogo, Eventbrite, Stova, Jemex, M Tiley Group, and Zapier, along with webhooks and an open API. The free account allows unlimited events, data, and check-in screens, and lets teams test session scanning and lead retrieval. Paid options include event-based software and session-module charges, plus usage-based fees. CredsNow says it is hosted in the United States on Microsoft Azure and encrypts data in transit and at rest; SOC 2 Type 2 is in progress. The company also offers pre-printed badges, cards, and passes for shipment, as well as paid technical and onsite support.
Eventcloud
Eventcloud is an event registration and ticketing platform for organisers running events of any size. It combines event pages, ticket-specific registration forms, payments and on-site check-in. Organisers can manage attendee answers, resend confirmations and export registration data to CSV or Excel. Payments connect to the organiser’s own Stripe account; Eventcloud says ticket revenue goes to that account and it charges no per-ticket fees. On event day, a phone camera can scan QR tickets, while organisers can print badges and view live attendance and revenue metrics. Promotion tools include promo codes, affiliate links and waiting lists. The web platform can also be self-hosted, and its integration information describes a REST API and an embeddable registration widget. Team costs $125 a month when billed monthly, or $1,250 a year when billed annually. Users can build and test for free without a time limit, but an active Team subscription is required to publish events and sell tickets. Enterprise offers white-label options, single sign-on and a dedicated account manager.
