Our verdict on CredsNow
CredsNow is a web-based event management platform for event teams, associations, corporate events, agencies, and event technology providers. It brings together branded badge design, attendee data loading, QR-code and name-lookup check-in, onsite print-on-demand production, pre-printed badge ordering, session access tracking, lead retrieval, digital badges, and event budgeting. Its attendee badge focus makes it a practical fit for teams managing both pre-event preparation and onsite operations.
Pricing is event-based rather than subscription-based. The Free account includes badge designs, events, data loading, check-in screens, session scanning tests, and lead retrieval tests. The Event Setup Fee is $250 per event, billed annually, and covers onsite software activation. The Print Agent License is $50 per active printer, billed annually, for the software license assigned to each printer. Attendee pricing is volume-based: $1 per attendee for 1–1,000, $0.75 for 1,001–2,500, $0.50 for 2,501–10,000, $0.40 for 10,001–25,000, and $0.25 for 25,000+.
For teams with several check-in or printing points, CredsNow offers distributed printing, QR and barcode scanning, registration-data synchronization, and print-agent deployments. Integrations include Cvent, Swoogo, Eventbrite, Stova, Jemex, M Tiley Group, and Zapier, alongside an open API and webhooks. It supports onsite and pre-event printing, which suits full-service event workflows. Teams seeking a narrowly focused badge printer, a subscription-only pricing structure, or badge types beyond attendee badges may prefer a different tool.
