Eventleaf

Overview

Eventleaf brings event registration, venue check-in, attendee engagement, exhibition management, and proposal review into one platform. It suits organizers whose events need several of those workflows; its main trade-off is annual attendee minimums on paid plans.

Jolly Technologies introduced Eventleaf as desktop software in 2012 and launched its cloud version in 2015. The maker is based in Redwood Shores, California. Unlimited events and users are allowed across its plans, but attendee capacity varies.

Key features

Registration and event operations

Eventleaf supports event websites, registration forms, group registrations, waitlists, tiered tickets, and payment collection. That range covers more than basic sign-ups, while attendee caps—not event or user counts—are the practical planning constraint.

Check-in and badges

Organizers can scan invitation barcodes, print customized attendee badges, offer self-check-in kiosks, and check attendees into sessions or venues. Barcode support and both printing modes help connect registration to onsite operations, particularly for events that need session-level tracking.

Engagement, exhibitions, and proposals

Live polls, Q&A, surveys, messaging, networking, and gamification give organizers several ways to involve attendees. Exhibition teams can sell and select booths on an interactive floor map and capture leads by scanning badges or invitation barcodes. For conferences that accept submissions, Eventleaf can collect abstracts and proposals, assign reviewers, rate submissions, and schedule accepted presentations.

Integrations, identity, and security

Integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Google Analytics, Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx, YouTube, Vimeo, Zapier, and Lobbytrack. Eventleaf describes SSO through Okta or Azure Active Directory and first-party two-factor authentication for its event management portal. It states PCI DSS 4.0.1 compliance, with ISO/IEC 27001 certification in progress; sensitive customer data is encrypted at rest with AES-256, and communications use TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. It is hosted on Microsoft Azure and participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension.

Pricing

Eventleaf uses a freemium model and offers a free trial. The Starter plan has no published price and allows 100 attendees per year, unlimited events, and unlimited users. It is the entry point for small annual workloads, but the 100-attendee ceiling leaves little room for growth.

Basic costs $500 a year, billed annually, with a $1 per attendee rate and a 500-attendee-per-year minimum. It suits organizers who can use that capacity across their events; the minimum is a commitment even if actual attendance falls short. Professional costs $2,000 a year, billed annually, at $2 per attendee with a 1,000-attendee-per-year minimum. It is aimed at higher-volume use, but its higher annual price and minimum make it a poor fit for occasional or smaller events. Both plans allow unlimited events and users.

Ultimate has custom pricing and a custom number of attendees, alongside unlimited events and users. It is the option for organizers whose capacity needs do not fit the stated tiers. Starter lists email support; Basic and Professional list email and phone support. Ultimate includes 24/7 priority support and onsite event support.

Platforms

Eventleaf supports Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Its platform support makes it usable across mobile and desktop environments.

Who it's for

Eventleaf is a strong fit for organizers who need registration and check-in alongside attendee engagement, exhibitions, or proposal review. The combination is especially relevant to conferences and other events with multiple operational workflows. A team running only occasional or small events may find the paid attendee minimums difficult to justify.

Pros and cons

• Broad event coverage: Registration, onsite check-in, engagement, exhibitions, and proposal review can sit in one system.
• Unlimited events and users: The listed plans do not constrain event count or user count, so attendee capacity is the more important limit to track.
• Useful onsite tools: Barcode scanning, customized badge printing, kiosks, and session or venue check-in support more involved event operations.
• Paid-plan commitments: Basic and Professional require 500 and 1,000 attendees per year respectively, which can be burdensome for lower-volume organizers.
• Starter capacity is limited: Its 100-attendee annual cap can constrain growth, and its price is not published.

Alternatives

Consider EventCreate if a smaller event needs a free entry plan: it allows one event, 50 attendees, and one user, with a 5% ticketing fee. Eventrize offers a free plan capped at 50 registrations, while its Register and Network plans each support up to 500 attendees; its paid prices are monthly, so compare those terms with Eventleaf's annual commitments.

Eventzilla may suit organizers looking for per-registration pricing: its Basic plan costs $1.50 a month, billed per registration, and includes unlimited events, unlimited free registration types, and one paid ticket or registration type. Event Smart is another option for unlimited events with multiple ticket types on its free Basic plan, though event-page customization, custom questions, card payments, and ticket scanning are paid upgrades.

Eventbrite may be preferable when free event publishing is the priority: its free publishing plan permits events of any size, and free tickets have no ticketing fees. Humanitix offers free events without a ticket fee, while its Standard plan charges $0.99 a month per paid ticket and a 2.1% booking fee. Indico is a free, self-hosted alternative for teams that prefer open-source software. Konfeo is another freemium option with a FREE event plan that includes five free tickets; its payment gateway commission is not included.

Verdict

Choose Eventleaf if your event needs registration and onsite operations together with engagement, exhibition, or proposal workflows. Its breadth is the main reason to choose it; the annual attendee minimums and higher Professional commitment are the main reasons smaller or less predictable events should look elsewhere.
