Badgetrac vs Cvent
A simpler, more affordable option for lead retrieval and badge printing
Cvent is a full event management platform with add-ons for lead retrieval and check-in. If you only need badge printing and exhibitor lead capture—or you use Eventbrite for registration—Badgetrac offers a focused, cost-effective alternative without the complexity or cost of a full Cvent deployment.

Get started with BadgetracFrequently asked questions
Do I need to leave Cvent to use Badgetrac?
No. You can use Badgetrac for badge printing and lead capture only, and keep Cvent for registration or other modules if you prefer. Many organizers use Eventbrite + Badgetrac and skip Cvent entirely for smaller or mid-size events.
Does Badgetrac integrate with Cvent?
Badgetrac focuses on Eventbrite and CSV import. If your attendees are in Cvent, export a CSV and import into Badgetrac for badges and lead scanning. We don't have a direct Cvent API integration today.
Is Badgetrac suitable for large events?
Yes, with a custom event plan that reflects attendee volume and support requirements.
