ClearEvent review
A broad event platform with free badge creation and PDF export, but limited to pre-event printing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ClearEvent combines event registration, ticketing, payments, scheduling, budgeting, communications, exhibitor management, reporting and check-in for conferences, expos, fundraisers, festivals, corporate events and community gatherings. Its separate browser-based Badge Maker imports attendee CSV files, supports text, images, shapes and QR codes, previews records, and exports print-ready PDFs for Avery or custom N-up layouts. Badge examples cover attendee, exhibitor and speaker use cases, while the platform also supports staff-oriented event operations.
The strongest fit is pre-event badge production. The Badge Maker is available free without an account, and the published features include customizable layouts, QR codes, attendee imports and PDF export. The wider platform adds custom registration forms, online and offline ticketing and payments, mobile QR-code check-in, agenda management, budget tracking, dashboards, and integrations with Zapier, Google Analytics 4, webhooks and CRM systems. That breadth suits organizers who want badge creation alongside broader event administration rather than a badge-only utility.
Pricing is annual for the event-management subscriptions. Single Event costs $895 per year and includes all features, one active event, unlimited event managers, unlimited attendees, dashboards and reporting, plus Zapier and webhooks integration. Up to 5 Events costs $1,795 per year and adds simultaneous events, segmented dashboards and reporting, and event copying. Up to 10 Events costs $2,995 per year and adds a dedicated account manager and tailored support options. ClearEvent fits teams preparing badges before an event and managing registration through check-in; organizations needing onsite badge printing should choose a different tool.
