Réponse courte
OneTap Check-In is attendance software: people check themselves in with a QR pass, a code or an iPad kiosk, and every check-in and check-out lands on a sheet you can export. It is built for recurring programmes, training, continuing education, schools, after-school clubs and memberships, and it also sells a guest list app for events. Pricing is per active profile on annual plans only, free up to 20 people and from $599.88 a year for 250, it needs an internet connection to check anyone in, the admin app is iOS only, and data lives in AWS Virginia. GuestlistOnline is built for one-off events instead: RSVP pages, paid tickets at 5% + €0.25 with processing included, promoter links, offline QR scanning on iPhone and Android, seven languages and EU hosting, from €0 to €29 a month.

Principales différences
Ce qui les distingue
Les détails qui comptent lorsque vous choisissez entre les deux.
Attendance sheets vs an event with a guest list
OneTap is a register. The same people, a class, a team, a membership, check in week after week, and the product is about the sheet that records it: check-in and check-out times, time on site, signatures, anti-proxy rules. It has no RSVP page, no plus-ones, no capacity and no invitations. GuestlistOnline starts from the event: an RSVP or registration page, the guest list it fills, the emails around it, and the QR code that gets each guest through the door.
Online only vs offline at the door
OneTap's own FAQ says you need internet access to check people in, which is fine in a classroom and a problem in a basement club or a festival field. GuestlistOnline's PWA scanner downloads the list before the doors open, scans with no signal and syncs the results back afterwards, on iPhone and Android alike, while OneTap's admin app is iOS only.
Per profile per year vs per plan
OneTap charges per active profile on annual plans only: free for 20 people, $599.88 a year for 250, $1,199.88 for 1,000. A one-off event with 400 guests needs the Standard plan for a year. GuestlistOnline prices by plan, not by head: €19.99 for one event with unlimited guests, or €29 a month for unlimited events, cancel anytime.
Where OneTap wins: recurring attendance and compliance
For training, continuing education credits, schools and memberships OneTap is the better fit: an iPad kiosk where people tap their own name, a QR code that refreshes every 20 seconds against proxy check-ins, time and location restrictions, on-screen signatures, check-out and time-on-site reports, and Zapier, Make, n8n and Jotform from the first paid plan. GuestlistOnline tracks check-in only and keeps its API on Enterprise.
La justice avant tout
Quand OneTap Check-In est le meilleur choix
If you track attendance for the same group over and over, a course, a club, a training programme, a workplace, OneTap is built for that and GuestlistOnline is not.
- Recurring attendance with check-out times and time on site per person
- Compliance needs: signatures, anti-proxy QR codes, time and location restrictions
- An iPad kiosk where people check themselves in by name
- Zapier, Make, n8n and Jotform integrations without an enterprise contract
Migration
Passer de OneTap Check-In
OneTap exports attendance and profiles to Excel, CSV and PDF, and the Google Sheets add-on or the API (from Standard) can pull the same records. Export the profile sheet as CSV and import it into GuestlistOnline, mapping names, email addresses and any custom field you want to keep.
- Names, email addresses and phone numbers of every profile
- Custom field values, mapped to custom questions or tags on import
- Past attendance, as the exported record of who checked in and when
- QR passes, guests receive a new QR code from GuestlistOnline by email
- Kiosk setups, check-in codes and anti-proxy restrictions
- Check-out and time-on-site history as a live feature
- Zapier, Make and Jotform automations built on OneTap
Questions courantes
Questions fréquentes sur GuestlistOnline vs OneTap Check-In.
How much does OneTap Check-In cost compared with GuestlistOnline?
OneTap is free for up to 20 profiles, then $599.88 a year for 250 profiles, $839.88 for 500, $1,199.88 for 1,000 and from $2,400 for more, billed annually only and charged per active person. GuestlistOnline is free for one event with 50 guests, €19.99 for a single event with unlimited guests, and €29 a month or €249 a year for unlimited events and guests.
Does OneTap Check-In work offline?
No. OneTap's FAQ says you need internet access to check people in. GuestlistOnline's scanner downloads the guest list before the doors open, scans with no connection and syncs the results back afterwards, on both iPhone and Android.
Can I collect RSVPs or sell tickets with OneTap?
Neither. OneTap offers a registration link and walk-in check-in, with no RSVP page, plus-ones, capacity limit, invitations or payments. GuestlistOnline has an RSVP or registration page per event, sends the invitations and reminders, and sells paid tickets at 5% + €0.25 with processing included, with nothing charged on free events.
Is OneTap a guest list app for events?
It sells one, and for a small recurring meetup it works: import the list, hand out QR passes, scan at the door. For a one-off event with RSVPs, promoters, paid entry or a door without signal it lacks the pieces around the scan. GuestlistOnline is built around that one-off event.
Where does OneTap store data, and in which languages does it work?
In AWS N. Virginia (us-east-1), encrypted in transit and at rest; the site does not mention the GDPR or any language other than English. GuestlistOnline hosts in the EU and runs in 7 languages across the dashboard, the emails and the guest pages.
Can I move my OneTap profiles to GuestlistOnline?
Yes. Export the profiles as CSV (or through the Google Sheets add-on) and import them into GuestlistOnline with names, email addresses and custom fields mapped. QR passes, kiosk setups and automations do not carry over; guests receive a new QR code by email from GuestlistOnline.
