Choosing the Right Event Registration Platform

Whether you’re hosting a large corporate conference or a small community seminar, selecting a new registration platform can feel overwhelming. As you sift through dozens of options, key features, and pricing models, it can be easy to lose sight of your main goals. At RegFox, we understand that making this decision may not be entirely up to you; it requires careful consideration from all teams on board—from Finance and Marketing to Administration and Technical. Our goal is to be your guide as you navigate through the decision-making process, and this article covers six of the most common questions from across the teams. Let’s dive in!

1. How Does RegFox Save Money?

Naturally, every decision-maker on every team will want to know about the pricing. Unlike many other platforms, RegFox doesn’t require you to attend a demo or fill out a form just to reveal our prices. The pricing model is clear and simple: it costs 99¢ + 1% per paid registrant, capped at $4.99. The event cap protects you from getting stuck with an enormous bill when the event is at a high-price point. Credit card processing fees will vary, but you can expect most of them to hover around 3%. 

Instead of making you pay for features you’ll neither need nor use, RegFox lets you choose additional upgrades for purchase. Features such as domain masking, communication center and email blasts are available at an additional cost. Click here for complete pricing details.

2. What’s Required to Get Started?

Getting started with RegFox is a quick and straightforward process. Upfront, all you need to provide is a name, email, address, and password. Once you start processing payments, you have two more weeks to provide your payment processor with any additional required information. From there, you can invite team members (unlimited admins!), customize access permissions, and dive right into creating your event registration pages. The best part is that you can do all of this without the hassle of a contract or setup and onboarding fee.

3. What Makes RegFox User-Friendly?

RegFox is designed to be simple and intuitive for both event organizers and attendees alike. For event organizers, the RealView Builder makes it easy to create a customized registration page without any previous technical experience. While there are templates available, we’ll never steal the spotlight from your brand. You can upload your logo, adjust colors, add graphics, and implement conditional logic within minutes. If you want an even more tailored experience, the platform even supports advanced customization, like CSS and HTML control.

For attendees, RegFox offers the convenience of managing registration details on their own. Whether an attendee wants to change sessions at a workshop or add on a backstage pass at a conference, they can do so easily without needing to contact you. This level of self-service not only empowers the attendees but also reduces the administrative burden on your team. 

Combined with other features, such as fast check-in and a real-time data dashboard, RegFox creates a smooth and hassle-free experience for everyone.

4. How Can RegFox Enhance Marketing?

The people on your team involved in marketing and promotion will likely have questions about the social media, tracking, and integration capabilities of RegFox.

Equipped with plugins, prompts, and promotions, RegFox is designed for you to tap into the promotion power of social media on your registration page. RegFox integrates with social media platforms and allows you to maximize your success with features like attendee sharing, social tagging, and customizable CTA prompts. RegFox also offers embeddable registration pages that can be integrated directly into your website or displayed as an iframe, keeping the user experience consistent with your brand.

On the analytics side, RegFox provides robust tools to track traffic sources, measure conversion rates, and gain insights into attendee behavior. By linking your page to Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or Google Tag Manager, you’ll have full control over tracking and reporting, helping you refine your marketing strategies and maximize ROI.

5. Is My Data Secure?

Data security is a top priority. If you choose RegFox, your data belongs to you only—period. Your data (and customer data) is never prospected, harvested, solicited, or marketed. In fact, your customers will never hear from us. We maintain strict PCI compliance, ensuring that sensitive information stays secure.

6. What Does Customer Support Look Like?

Many registration platforms force you to sift through a mountain of articles, talk to a bot, or pay extra just to get help. At RegFox, we understand that sometimes you need support quickly, and from real people who care.

Our US-based support team is reliably available through live chat, email, and phone. With an average response time of just 15 minutes during business hours, you’ll never feel stranded. Whether you need help building your registration page or troubleshooting a technical issue, our friendly team is here to guide you every step of the way. 

We include all of this support in our flat-rate pricing—so you never have to worry about extra fees or hidden costs when you get help.

Event organizing is filled with dozens of decisions, but there’s one decision that will make the rest easier: your registration platform.  RegFox will help you run a smoother event, delight your attendees, and save thousands of dollars—all at a ridiculously affordable price.
