Event Check-In App — Free QR & ID Verification

Frequently asked questions

What is the best event check-in software for large events?

Event Flo is a free event check-in software that supports events from 10 to 10,000+ attendees. It includes QR code scanning, ID-verified guest lists, real-time headcount tracking, and multi-device sync for unlimited door staff. Unlike paid alternatives, Event Flo charges zero platform fees.

What is a free alternative to Cvent for event check-in?

Event Flo offers free event check-in with QR code scanning, government ID verification, and real-time analytics. Cvent requires enterprise contracts starting at $10,000+/year. Event Flo provides the same core check-in functionality at $0.

What devices does the check-in app work on?

The Event Flo check-in app works on any modern smartphone or tablet with a camera. No app download required — it runs directly in your browser.

Can multiple staff members scan tickets simultaneously?

Yes. Add unlimited door staff through the Bouncer Portal. Each staff member scans from their own device with real-time sync across all entry points.

What happens if a guest doesn't have their QR code?

Door staff can search by guest name or email directly in the Bouncer Portal. Manual check-in takes seconds and updates the headcount instantly.

Does check-in work without internet?

The Bouncer Portal requires an internet connection to verify tickets in real time and prevent duplicate entries. A mobile hotspot works perfectly as backup.

Is the check-in app free?

Yes. The check-in app, Bouncer Portal, and all door management tools are included free with every Event Flo event. Zero platform fees.

How does ID verification work at the door?

Every guest on Event Flo is pre-verified with a government-issued ID before they can register. Your door staff sees verification status instantly — no manual ID checks needed at entry.

How does Event Flo compare to Eventbrite for check-in?

Eventbrite provides basic QR scanning but charges service fees on every ticket and does not include identity verification. Event Flo offers QR scanning, government ID verification, gender ratio tracking, and blacklist alerts — all for free.
