Devfolio review
A structured workflow for hackathon registration, team formation, submissions, and judging.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Devfolio brings hackathon organization into a web-based workflow for communities and organizations. Organizers can set up an event, manage applications through review and acceptance, handle RSVPs and check-in, and oversee teams and project submissions. Participants can create or join teams with invite codes, then submit project details with text, links, video, and image fields. It is a fit for organizers who want registration, submissions, and judging handled in one place, including student-run events that can use the free offering.
The workflow extends from application review through judging: organizers can assign judges, manage online or offline judging, review scores from dashboards, and export score results. Devfolio also supports a hackathon microsite and project showcase, while participants can showcase projects on their profiles. Organizers can choose online, in-person, or online-with-application-review formats; the latter can also support hybrid events. This makes the product relevant to events that need both applicant management and a defined route from team formation to scored project submissions, rather than just a registration page.
Pricing depends on the organizer: Devfolio says student-run hackathons are free, while its setup guide directs business organizers to contact the company for pricing. The published information does not present a tier-by-tier paid plan comparison, so business organizers should discuss costs with Devfolio before choosing it. Devfolio is delivered through the cloud, with email support, and is positioned for small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations. Choose it when a free student-run event or structured registration-to-judging process is central; organizers who require a non-web platform or prefer publicly stated business pricing should consider alternatives.
