What Gets Counted

What Each Platform Meters.

Brella publishes one figure: a fee on paid tickets. eventcloud counts the people on your team.

eventcloud Counts

Team seats

Registrations, attendees and events are never counted, and 0% of ticket revenue is taken.

Brella Counts

Paid tickets

Stripe fees plus 2% on each paid ticket; the platform itself is priced by quote S2.

What unlimited covers here, and the few limits that remain, is written out just below.

Unlimited, with the Small Print Printed Large.

No ticket meter here. Here is what is limited, and why it is operational.

Unlimited events, registrations and attendees on every plan. We count team seats, not tickets, so your bill does not rise because your event sells out. The limits that do exist are operational, not commercial: 99 of one ticket type per order line, 10,000 orders per Excel export, five languages per event, and one subdomain and one sending domain per organisation.

Before the First Meeting

Someone Still Has to Open the Doors.

Before anyone books a meeting, someone has to register them, badge them and let them in. That is the part eventcloud does.

  • A form per audience: delegates, speakers, exhibitors and press each get their own form, price schedule and confirmation email.
  • Badges from the answers: designed in real millimetres and printed at a self-service kiosk as people arrive, or from the dashboard beforehand.
  • A door on any phone: one link and a 4-digit PIN. Scan the QR or type the ticket number.
  • Every answer in the export: attendees, with every registration answer, and orders export to Excel.

Fair Questions

Brella vs eventcloud, Answered.

Does Brella print badges?

Can eventcloud do matchmaking like Brella?

Coming soon: matchmaking between attendees in the event app. Want a say in how it works? Tell us. Attendees can already find each other by name or company and chat one to one, and you can switch messaging off for any event.

Can exhibitors scan leads?

Yes. Lead retrieval comes with every seat: exhibitors use their own phones to scan the QR code on each attendee's badge or in their event app, rate and qualify each lead, and export their leads to Excel. No charge from us per scanner or per lead. You decide whether exhibitors get it with their pass or buy it at checkout for a price you set. Brella's lead scanning does the job too, with real-time export.

What is Brella known for?

Can we try eventcloud for free?
