Eventleaf

Eventleaf is an event management platform for attendee registration, guest check-in, badge printing, polls, and Q&A. Organizers can create event websites and registration forms, handle group registrations, waitlists and tiered tickets, and collect registration payments. For on-site events, staff can scan invitation barcodes, print customized badges, use self-check-in kiosks, and check attendees into sessions or venues. Attendee engagement features include live polls, Q&A, surveys, messaging, networking, and gamification. Exhibition tools support booth sales and selection on an interactive floor map, plus lead capture by scanning attendee badges or invitation barcodes. Organizers can also collect abstracts and proposals, assign reviewers, rate submissions, and schedule accepted submissions. Listed platforms are Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Eventleaf lists integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Google Analytics, Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx, YouTube, Vimeo, Zapier, and Lobbytrack. Basic costs $500 a year, with a 500-attendee minimum, while Professional costs $2,000 a year with a 1,000-attendee minimum.

Eventleaf suits organizers managing registration, onsite entry, attendee engagement, exhibitions, or proposal reviews. Its listed apps and web access may fit teams working across those platforms.

Overview

Eventleaf is an event-management platform covering registration, venue operations, attendee interaction, exhibitions, and proposal review. It fits organizers running conferences or other multi-part events who want those workflows in one system. Its broad scope is compelling, but annual attendee minimums on paid tiers make the pricing a poor match for small or occasional events.

Jolly Technologies introduced Eventleaf as desktop software in 2012 and released a cloud version in 2015. The maker is based in Redwood Shores, California.

Key features

Registration and event operations

Eventleaf provides event websites, registration forms, group registrations, waitlists, tiered tickets, and payment collection. Unlimited events and users on every listed plan let a team run multiple programs without buying additional seats. Capacity, rather than event count, is the practical limitation.

Check-in and badges

Staff can scan invitation QR codes or barcodes, print customized attendee badges, and use self-check-in kiosks. Check-in can be recorded for individual sessions or venues, which is useful for conferences with track-level attendance. Attendee data import and both printing modes support preparation and on-site operations, although only attendee badges are identified as a badge type.

Engagement and exhibitions

Live polls, Q&A, surveys, messaging, networking, and gamification support interaction during an event rather than stopping at registration. Exhibitors can sell and select booths on an interactive floor map and capture leads by scanning attendee badges or invitation barcodes.

Proposals, integrations, and security

Proposal workflows cover abstract collection, reviewer assignment, submission ratings, and scheduling accepted presentations. Connections are listed for Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Google Analytics, Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx, YouTube, Vimeo, Zapier, and Lobbytrack. SSO works through Okta or Azure Active Directory, with first-party two-factor authentication for the management portal. Eventleaf states PCI DSS 4.0.1 compliance, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 and 1.3 communications, Microsoft Azure hosting, and participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension. ISO/IEC 27001 certification is in progress.

Pricing

Eventleaf uses a freemium model. The free plan allows 100 attendees per year, making it suitable for a small event program or a cautious evaluation, but that ceiling is quickly restrictive for recurring conferences. A free trial is also offered.

Starter

Starter has custom pricing, 100 attendees per year, unlimited events, and unlimited users. It preserves the free tier's attendee scale while adding a paid-plan structure, so it is relevant only when its commercial terms fit a specific small organizer.

Basic

Basic costs $500 a year, billed as an annual fee, with $1 per attendee and a 500-attendee-per-year minimum. Unlimited events and users make it the clearest entry tier for organizations expecting at least 500 attendees annually. Smaller organizers still pay against that minimum.

Professional

Professional costs $2,000 a year, billed annually, with $2 per attendee and a 1,000-attendee-per-year minimum. It is aimed at larger programs that can use the higher allowance; the doubled per-attendee rate and commitment make it difficult to justify for modest attendance.

Ultimate

Ultimate has custom pricing and a custom attendee number, plus unlimited events and users. It is the tier to discuss when fixed quotas do not fit, with 24/7 priority support and on-site event support included. Starter offers email support; Basic and Professional add phone support.

Platforms

Eventleaf supports Android, iOS, web, and Windows. The platform support listing identifies web access, while the broader platform listing includes the mobile and desktop operating systems.

Who it's for

Choose Eventleaf if one team needs registration, barcode check-in, badge printing, audience interaction, exhibitor management, and submission review together. It is particularly well suited to conferences with sessions, booths, and accepted presentations. Look elsewhere if you run a small event below the paid minimums or need only basic sign-ups.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Registration, check-in, engagement, exhibitions, and proposal workflows share one platform, reducing the need to connect separate systems.
• Pro: Unlimited events and users support multi-event teams without seat-based expansion.
• Pro: Kiosks, barcode scanning, custom badges, and session check-in address detailed on-site requirements.
• Con: Basic and Professional require 500 or 1,000 attendees per year, respectively, even when actual attendance is lower.
• Con: Professional charges $2 per attendee as well as its $2,000 annual fee, which can raise costs for larger programs.
• Con: Starter and Ultimate require custom pricing, making budgeting less predictable.

Alternatives

EventCreate is a better fit for a single small event: its free tier permits one event, 50 attendees, and one user, with a 5% ticketing fee, and it runs on Android, iOS, and web.

Eventrize suits organizers seeking monthly plans, with a free 50-registration tier and paid options up to 500 attendees.

Eventbrite is worth considering when free-event publishing is the priority; its free publishing plan allows unlimited events and free events of any size without ticketing fees.

Eventzilla offers per-registration pricing and unlimited events on its Basic plan, useful when attendance varies substantially.

Humanitix is an alternative for free events and paid-ticket processing.

Indico is a free, self-hosted option for organizations prepared to operate their own infrastructure.

RSVPify is suited to smaller invitation-led events, with a free plan covering one event at a time and 100 registrations per month.

SignUpGenius is an alternative for straightforward sign-up coordination rather than a full event-management suite.

Verdict

Eventleaf is a strong choice for conference organizers who need registration, sophisticated on-site check-in, attendee engagement, exhibition sales, and proposal handling in one product. Choose it when those combined workflows outweigh the annual attendee commitments. Look elsewhere when your events are small, infrequent, or limited to simple registration, because the paid minimums and custom-priced tiers can make a narrower tool more economical.
