Custom reports and real-time analytics support tracking submissions, judging activity, and winner selection. The contest planning page lists payment gateway integrations including PayPal, Wirecard, Asiapay, and Worldpay. Judgify says the platform is ISO 27001 certified and compliant with GDPR and PCI DSS. It also describes encryption for stored and transferred data, daily database backups kept for 30 days, and AWS hosting. Judging modules are described as mobile-friendly and available for Android and iOS. The free Basic plan is free and allows 100 submissions per event, 5 categories, 5 MB files, and 1 private judging round. Pro is $699, paid once, plus an onboarding fee, for an individual award or event.
