Key differences
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.

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.
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.
