RingCentral Events Counts

Organisers, then a quote

Virtual-only Events Pro is $99/organiser/month, but hybrid and on-site sit on Pro+/Enterprise, which are quote-only.

RingCentral Events is built for large virtual and hybrid programmes, where its streaming and networking shine. For in-person events, eventcloud's registration, badges and check-in are the simpler fit.

The Door

The Door Runs on Any Phone.

RingCentral Events puts onsite check-in on its higher tiers. Here the door comes with every seat: send your staff one link and a PIN, and the phones they already carry become scanners.

  • One link and a PIN: no app to install and no staff accounts to create
  • Scan or type: the QR code, or the nine-digit ticket number
  • Clear answers: repeat scans flagged, and refunded or unpaid tickets refused
  • Session doors too: each session admits or refuses, with a live count against capacity

Hopin vs eventcloud, Answered.

Is Hopin still around?

Hopin's events platform was acquired by RingCentral in 2023 and is now RingCentral Events. (Other Hopin products, like StreamYard, were sold separately.) If you are comparing ‘Hopin’, RingCentral Events is the product you would actually be buying.

What kind of events is eventcloud built for?

Events that happen in a room. eventcloud runs registration with a form per attendee type, session booking, badges, a self-service Badge Kiosk and check-in on any phone, with events, registrations and attendees never counted.

Is eventcloud a good fit for conferences?

Yes, conferences are what it is built for. Each delegate type gets its own registration form, price schedule and confirmation email, delegates book their sessions as they register, badges are designed in real millimetres and printed from the dashboard or at a self-service kiosk, and door staff check people in from any phone or tablet. See how it works for conferences.

Who keeps the ticket revenue?

Both run paid ticketing through your own Stripe account, so funds reach you directly. eventcloud takes 0% of your ticket revenue on top.
