GuestlistOnline vs Eventzilla FAQ

Question 1

Is GuestlistOnline a replacement for Eventzilla?

Accepted Answer

They target different event types. Eventzilla is a conference and registration platform with features like speaker management, badge printing, self-service kiosks, and virtual event streaming — ideal for multi-day conferences and professional events. GuestlistOnline is built for guest list management: RSVPs, QR check-in (with offline mode), promoter tracking with commissions, and ticket sales. If you run conferences with speaker sessions and badge printing, Eventzilla is the better fit. If you manage nightclub guest lists, weddings, or events with promoter teams, GuestlistOnline covers those workflows.

Question 2

How does pricing compare between GuestlistOnline and Eventzilla?

Accepted Answer

Eventzilla's Basic plan is $1.50 per registration (flat fee, free events only on Basic). The Pro plan adds paid tickets at 1.9% + $1.50 per registration, and Plus is 2.9% + $1.50 per registration for white-label and engagement tools. The Custom plan starts at $5,999/year. GuestlistOnline charges €19.99 per event or €29/month flat, with no per-registration platform fees. Ticket sales are €0.25 + 5% per ticket. For events with many registrations, GuestlistOnline's flat pricing avoids per-head costs scaling up.

Question 3

Does Eventzilla support offline check-in?

Accepted Answer

Eventzilla's documentation does not explicitly mention an offline check-in mode. Their organiser app supports QR scanning and real-time syncing across devices, but offline functionality is not confirmed in their public documentation. GuestlistOnline's check-in app works fully offline — scan QR codes without any internet connection, and data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

Question 4

Does Eventzilla have promoter tracking?

Accepted Answer

Eventzilla's public documentation does not mention promoter commission tracking or affiliate management tools. They offer discount codes and group deals for marketing, but no system to assign sales to individual promoters or calculate commissions. GuestlistOnline has built-in promoter tracking with unique links, automatic commission calculation, and promoter dashboards.

Question 5

Can I migrate from Eventzilla to GuestlistOnline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export your registrant data from Eventzilla as a CSV file, then import it into GuestlistOnline using the guest import feature. Guest names, email addresses, and registration details will carry over. You can then set up events and generate QR codes for check-in.
