Badgy vs Eventcloud
Both stand on event badge printing software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose Badgy if your event needs on-site check-in, editable badges, and vendor lead capture, with a free plan covering all events and check-in devices. Look elsewhere if you cannot use the required Chrome laptop and supported Zebra printer for badge printing.
Visit Badgy
Choose Eventcloud if you need ticketing, tailored registration, Stripe payments, and event-day check-in in one platform. Its free access is for building and testing; organisers who need to publish events or sell tickets need an active Team subscription. Consider Enterprise if you need white-label branding, single sign-on, or dedicated account support.
