eventcloud vs Hubilo (Virtual PRO)

Hubilo Is Now Virtual PRO. And It's a Different Kind of Event.

Virtual PRO, the platform Hubilo became, is built for broadcast-grade virtual and hybrid events with a live studio. eventcloud is built for the room: registration, badges, a self-service Badge Kiosk and check-in on any phone, with attendees never counted. Competitor facts checked 26 June 2026. Hubilo was acquired by Brandlive in 2025 and relaunched as Virtual PRO in 2026.

  • Check-in on any phone or tablet with one link and a PIN
  • Session booking at sign-up, and a scan at each session's door

What Gets Counted

A Licence There.

An in-person event with check-in, counted two ways.

eventcloud Counts

Team seats

Events, registrations and attendees are never counted, and we take 0% of your ticket revenue.

Virtual PRO Counts

Attendees per event

Virtual PRO’s entry tier (PRO 1) is $15,000 a year for up to 1,000 attendees per event, built for virtual broadcasts, not on-site ticketing.

Virtual PRO is excellent at broadcast-grade virtual events; that is its job. eventcloud's job is in-person registration, badges and check-in.

Onsite

One Link and a PIN Open the Doors.

Virtual PRO is built for screens, so onsite is not where it shines. Here door staff need two things: one check-in link and one four-digit PIN.

  • A four-digit staff PIN: door staff need no account and no app
  • A link with a QR code: open it on any phone or tablet, Android or iPhone
  • Pause access: stop the link working the moment the doors close
  • Check-in totals: Insights shows how many people have arrived
Check-in settings for door staff: a four digit staff PIN, a switch to pause access, and a check-in link with a QR code to open on a phone. The PIN and link are masked in this image
Fair Questions

Hubilo vs eventcloud, Answered.

Is Hubilo still around?

Hubilo was acquired by Brandlive in 2025 and relaunched as Virtual PRO in early 2026; hubilo.com now redirects there. If you are comparing ‘Hubilo’, Virtual PRO is the product you would actually be buying.

What does eventcloud run on the day?

The registration desk and the door. Badges print from the dashboard or at a self-service Badge Kiosk, and check-in runs on any phone or tablet with one link and a PIN, with a scan at each session's door. Exhibitors get lead retrieval on their own phones, with no charge from us per scanner or per lead.

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.

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.

How does pricing compare?

Virtual PRO starts at $15,000 a year (up to 1,000 attendees per event). eventcloud publishes its per-seat price, never counts attendees, and puts the badge designer and check-in on every seat.
