Attendee Search Easily find attendees that are registered for your event and view their information by searching for them by name or ticket ID. Auto Check-ins Speed up check-ins using the lightning fast auto check-ins option, which will automatically check-in an attendee and return to the scanning screen once their ticket has been successfully validated. Barcode and QR Code Support Scan the 1D barcode or QR code contained on the attendee's ticket directly from your device using the built-in camera or a handheld Bluetooth barcode scanner. Bluetooth Scanner Integration Scan tickets using your mobile device's built-in camera or pair your device to any handheld Bluetooth barcode scanner.

Calendar and Image List Styles Set the list style in the app to display events using their featured image or use the new date mode. The date mode will display a customizable color-coded date icon that will help make your events easy to spot even when you're in a rush. Customizable Branding Make the Check-ins apps your own by changing the logo and color scheme from the plugin settings to match your website.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: FooEvents Check at every 10 days against CodeREADr's every 3 months. FooEvents Check also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (146 vs 20). CodeREADr's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FooEvents Check holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FooEvents Check has 146 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of CodeREADr's written reviews are positive against 61% of FooEvents Check's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CodeREADr ships an update every 3 months, FooEvents Check every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
