Eventication vs WhenToHelp

Eventication is a web platform for event organizers managing crew, volunteers, accreditation, planning and suppliers. It can assign accreditations to venue zones and support multiple check-in points. Crew and volunteer tools cover registration, shift planning, time tracking, rewards, payments, check-in and out, and digital document signing. Stock tools let organizers allocate items to zones, crew and accreditations, scan QR codes, trace items and collect orders. The platform also handles bulk event emails and SMS, along with one-to-one email conversations. Organizers can rent scanning smartphones, barcode or QR scanners and wristband printers, or use their own hardware. Integrations include ticketing and cashless partners such as See Tickets, EventPay and anyKrowd. The Free plan costs nothing and covers one event, unlimited moderators and users, and five of sixteen features. Silver covers one event and all sixteen features, with listed prices TBA; Gold covers unlimited events and all sixteen, with prices on request. A free trial can be requested; Eventication says it will contact organizers within 48 hours to arrange a custom environment.

WhenToHelp is online scheduling software for organizations coordinating volunteers. Coordinators can build recurring schedules, start from templates, and move shifts with drag-and-drop tools. AutoFill assigns shifts based on volunteer preferences and scheduling constraints. Volunteers can enter time preferences, request time off, take open shifts, and trade shifts through the Tradeboard. Email and text notifications can alert volunteers to schedules and changes. Schedules have configurable views and can be printed; schedule data export is listed as a Full Version feature. Schedules can also be viewed in Google Calendar and Outlook, with automatic export to both. The service is available on the web, Android, and iOS, while its mobile version opens in a phone or tablet browser without a required app download. WhenToHelp Lite is free with limits of 250 volunteers, 100 shifts per week, and 18 months of past schedule information. The Full Version starts at $16 a month for 1–10 helpers. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card.
