Eventdex vs Brella

A Brella alternative with registration and badges built in

Both platforms are strong on AI matchmaking. Brella describes itself as an engagement layer that plugs into your registration and badging tools; Eventdex runs registration, onsite badge printing and matchmaking in one platform.

The short answer

Choose Eventdex if

  • You want registration, onsite badge printing and matchmaking from one platform rather than a networking app on top.
  • You print badges at check-in and want to use Zebra, Epson or Brother printers.
  • Exhibitors should choose and book their booths on an interactive floor plan.

Choose Brella if

  • You already run registration and badging in another platform and want a networking layer on top of it.
  • Brella connects to platforms such as Cvent, Eventbrite, Swoogo and Tito, per its own blog.

Key differences

Where Eventdex differs from Brella

One platform, not a networking add-on

Brella's own blog describes it as an engagement layer that does not do registration, badge printing or event websites, and that plugs into tools like Cvent and Eventbrite; its ticketing pages now add registration. Eventdex runs registration, onsite check-in, badges and matchmaking in one system, so attendee data never moves between tools.

Badges printed onsite, natively

Brella uses its QR codes with third-party check-in tools and integrates with Xtag for badges. Eventdex checks attendees in by QR code and prints badges on demand on Zebra, Epson and Brother printers.

Booths booked on the floor plan

Brella can display a venue floor plan; we did not find online booth booking on its website. On Eventdex, exhibitors choose a booth on the interactive floor plan and book it online.
