Grip Onsite review
A broad onsite badge and attendance toolkit for conferences and trade shows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Grip Onsite is a suite of onsite event registration, badge printing, scanning, and attendance tools for conference, trade show, and other event organizers. It supports self-service attendee check-in, entrance and session scanning, registration staffing, access control, attendance reporting, and location tracking. Badge types include attendee, exhibitor, speaker, and staff, with layouts customizable by ticket type, role, or access level. The platform is available on web, iOS, and Android and can operate standalone or with other Grip products and registration systems.
Pricing is handled through a contact-sales process, with prospects directed to request a demo. That structure can suit organizers planning a tailored onsite program, but it gives buyers less immediate cost clarity than a published plan structure. The listed integrations include Visit, Cvent, Swoogo, A2Z by Personify, Bizzabo, and Livebuzz. These connections position Grip Onsite around event registration and onsite operations, while its standalone option provides a route for organizers that do not want to depend on a listed registration platform.
The strongest case for Grip Onsite is its breadth at the venue: kiosks, badge printing, ticket and QR scanning, session check-in, lead capture, smart Bluetooth badges, and attendance reporting are covered in one product suite. Custom layouts and access-level rules also support different participant groups within the same event. Organizers seeking only a straightforward badge printer may find this wider operational scope unnecessary. Grip Onsite is better suited to events that need coordinated check-in, access control, engagement capture, and attendance visibility across the venue.
