Grip Onsite vs Zoho Backstage

Grip Onsite is a suite of tools and services for managing the on-site parts of an event. Attendees can check in at self-service kiosks and receive printed badges, or check in with a printed ticket, badge, or event app. Organizers can view real-time arrival reports, track attendance by session, and use badge scans to manage access to exclusive areas or share sponsored-session leads with sponsors. Bluetooth Smart Badges allow participants to exchange contact details with a button press; location tracking can show booth and session visits, heat maps, and visit duration. Badge choices include laminated or paper formats with customizable size, orientation, and lanyard-hole options, plus an optional RFID sticker. Grip Onsite works on Android, iOS, and the web. It can be used on its own, with Grip Engage or Manage, or alongside a third-party registration system. Setup is generally handled by onsite staff or trained technicians, with self-managed setup available for events using fewer than four terminals. Pricing is on request.
