Eventleaf

Overview

Eventleaf is a broad event-management platform covering registration, venue operations, attendee interaction, exhibitions, and proposal review. It suits organizers running conferences, trade shows, meetings, or calls for papers who want those jobs in one system. Its strongest case is operational breadth; its main drawback is that paid plans commit you to annual attendee minimums.

Jolly Technologies introduced Eventleaf in 2012 as desktop software and released a cloud version in 2015. Eventleaf is headquartered in Redwood Shores, California. The service runs on Microsoft Azure, supports SSO through Okta or Azure Active Directory, and offers first-party two-factor authentication for the event-management portal. It states PCI DSS 4.0.1 compliance, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 and 1.3 for communications, and participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension.

Key features

Registration and event operations

Eventleaf provides event websites, registration forms, group registrations, waitlists, tiered tickets, and payment collection. Unlimited events and unlimited users on every named plan make it practical for teams coordinating multiple programs, while attendee allowances—not event count—define the commercial ceiling.

Check-in and badges

Venue staff can scan invitation barcodes, use self-check-in kiosks, print customized attendee badges, and check people into individual sessions or venues. QR and barcode support, attendee-data import, and both printing modes help an organization move from a registration list to on-site control. The badge offering is focused on attendee badges rather than a wider published set of badge types.

Engagement, exhibitions, and proposals

Live polls, Q&A, surveys, messaging, networking, and gamification support participation during an event. Exhibition organizers can sell and assign booths on an interactive floor map and capture leads by scanning attendee badges or invitation barcodes. For conferences and similar programs, Eventleaf can collect abstracts and proposals, assign reviewers, rate submissions, and schedule accepted sessions. That combination is a meaningful advantage over registration-only tools.

Integrations and support

Connections include Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Google Analytics, Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx, YouTube, Vimeo, Zapier, and Lobbytrack. Starter includes email support; Basic and Professional add phone support; Ultimate includes 24/7 priority support and on-site event support. The top support tier is therefore aimed at organizations where venue-day assistance justifies custom pricing.

Pricing

Eventleaf uses a freemium model, with a free plan and free trial for initial access. The free plan is best for small or exploratory programs, but its 100-attendee annual allowance is a hard limit.

Basic and Professional trade lower per-attendee economics for annual commitments: paying for a minimum you do not reach can make them poor choices for irregular events. Starter has the lowest stated capacity, while Ultimate removes a published attendee ceiling but requires a sales conversation. None of the plans limits the number of events or users.

Platforms

Eventleaf supports Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Its platform support therefore covers mobile staff and attendees as well as desktop administration, with web access explicitly supported for the product.

Who it's for

Choose Eventleaf for conferences, exhibitions, corporate meetings, and academic events that need registration, check-in, badges, engagement, and proposal workflows together. It is especially suitable when booth allocation, lead capture, session attendance, or abstract review would otherwise require separate products. Smaller organizers with fewer than the paid plans' annual minimums should scrutinize the economics before committing.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad event coverage: Registration, on-site check-in, engagement, exhibitions, and proposal management share one platform.
• Strong venue tooling: Barcode scanning, kiosks, session check-in, and custom badge printing address practical event-day needs.
• Useful integrations: CRM, marketing, analytics, video, meeting, automation, and venue connections extend the workflow.
• Scalable administration: Unlimited events and users appear across all named plans.

Cons

• Annual minimums: Basic requires 500 attendees and Professional 1,000, so occasional or smaller events may overpay.
• Top-tier price uncertainty: Ultimate uses custom pricing, making budgeting less straightforward.
• Support varies by tier: Email-only Starter support lacks the phone, priority, and on-site assistance reserved for higher plans.

Alternatives

For a focused comparison, see Event Registration Software, Event Badge Printing Software, and Event Management Software.

EventCreate is a better fit when a free plan capped at one event, 50 attendees, and one user is enough and you prefer Android, iOS, and web access.

Pick Eventrize when a 50-registration free tier or monthly plans capped at 500 attendees better match your event size.

Eventbrite suits organizers prioritizing free event publishing, including free events of any size, over Eventleaf's broader operational scope.

Consider Eventzilla for per-registration pricing and unlimited events when its Basic or Pro structure fits better than annual attendee commitments.

Humanitix is an alternative for free events and paid-ticket pricing centered on booking fees.

RSVPify is worth choosing for a simpler invitation workflow with a free one-event-at-a-time plan and 100 registrations per month.

SignUpGenius is a narrower sign-up option with unlimited free sign-ups.

Tito is an alternative for ticketing programs built around free events and per-ticket fees.

Verdict

Pick Eventleaf when one platform must handle registration, check-in, badges, engagement, exhibitions, and proposal review, especially for recurring or operationally complex events. Its breadth, integrations, and venue tools are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere when your annual attendance is below the paid minimums, your needs are limited to a single event task, or you require a firm Ultimate price before planning.
