ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

atEvent holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BadgeScanner™ Lead Retrieval has 50 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of atEvent's written reviews are positive against 67% of BadgeScanner™ Lead Retrieval's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

atEvent ships an update every 5 weeks, BadgeScanner™ Lead Retrieval every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
