Zuddl alternative: event67, the branded app sold on its own

Zuddl (Zuddl is a trademark of Joyn Experiences Inc.) is unusual in this set because it does not concede the branded app. Its homepage sells a fully branded, customisable attendee mobile app and positions it directly against templated ones, with the line "Say goodbye to stock event apps" (zuddl.com, accessed 3 September 2026). The argument we make on most pages in this programme — that the store listing ought to carry your name — does not separate the two products here. Something else has to.

One detail we will not overstate: the pages we accessed on 3 September 2026 do not state which mobile platforms that app ships on, so we record iOS and Android availability as unknown rather than asserting it either way. event67's own position is verifiable in the stores, because the shipped instance is published under the client's own name in the App Store and Google Play.

What does separate them is packaging. Zuddl's pricing page publishes three named licence tiers — Digital, Digital + Field and Unified — where all tiers include registration, communications and analytics, and the higher tiers add the mobile app, speaker portals and onsite check-in, with unlimited onsite staff and sales users for lead capture across all plans and Standard, Premium and Enterprise support levels (zuddl.com, accessed 3 September 2026). It also publishes an annual entry point for two organisers and a separately priced collaborator licence, with one included; the per-tier prices are not published. In other words the app is a module that sits above a licence, and the licence brings registration and the rest of the platform with it whether or not you wanted them.

event67 sells the app and the console and nothing else. There is no licence tier to choose, no module to add, and no registration engine underneath. That makes the real question on this page a scoping question rather than a feature question: if you want registration, onsite and the app from one vendor, a platform is the correct purchase and we are not it. If you have registration already and the app is the actual requirement, buying a platform to obtain a module is worth pricing against buying the module on its own.

If you want one vendor from registration through to the app, this is a straightforward decision and it is not us. Zuddl's published modules cover ticketing and registration with branded, personalised registration flows; a virtual and hybrid platform with video production, streaming and engagement tools; onsite check-in, badge printing, lead capture and session management; speaker and exhibitor portals with task management, document uploads and lead tracking; and analytics including revenue dashboards, registration analytics and sponsor tracking (zuddl.com, accessed 3 September 2026). event67 has none of those. We take no attendee payment, drive no badge printer, stream no video, and run no speaker or exhibitor portal.

Sponsors are the second reason, and they are becoming the decisive one for a lot of organisers. A branded app paired with lead capture and exhibitor tooling is something sponsors increasingly write into their contracts, and Zuddl publishes both together, with unlimited onsite staff and sales users for lead capture on every plan (zuddl.com pricing page, accessed 3 September 2026). event67 gives sponsors tier-ordered pages with logos, bios and links — visibility, not a lead pipeline — and if your sponsorship packages promise scanned leads, we cannot honour them.

And we should state our own limits plainly next to that. There is no venue sourcing in event67 and no hotel RFP workflow. It has no badge hardware, no access control and no virtual stage. It has no long enterprise security-review track record behind it, which is a legitimate consideration if your procurement runs a lengthy vendor assessment before anything is signed. Those are limitations of ours, described in our own words, and none of them is a comment on anyone else.

1. Scope what you are actually replacing

   For most readers this is the attendee app alone, with registration, onsite operations and any streaming staying where they are. Write that boundary down before you start, because it determines who owns the attendee list.

2. Export the attendee list

   Pull names, email addresses and any profile fields that should be searchable in the app's directory. That CSV is the single join between the platform and event67, so agree who owns refreshing it.

3. Rebuild the programme in the console

   Sessions, tracks, rooms, speakers, sponsors and workshop capacities. A four-track, two-day user conference is an afternoon of data entry against a settled agenda.

4. Theme it, invite, and watch the meter

   The theme flows through every attendee screen with the WCAG AA advisory beside it. Bulk invites go out with per-recipient delivery tracking, and the activation meter runs from publication, with the amount emailed before any card is charged.

The genuinely awkward part is that attendees end up looking at two branded surfaces. If registration stays on the platform, the registration flow carries its branding and the app carries ours, and somebody has to make those look like one event and explain the join in the invite email. Two other things travel with that decision: sponsor lead capture stays on the platform side because we have none, so exhibitors keep whatever tool they were using; and late registrants exist in one system before the other, so somebody owns a repeat CSV import in the final week. None of that is hard, but all of it is somebody's job, and it should be assigned before the event rather than discovered during it.
