Will running both confuse attendees?

Not in practice. Most organisers point attendees to the event app for agenda and networking, and to a single welcome QR for the stamp card.

Does StampRise integrate with event apps?

StampRise exposes its data through CSV exports today. Direct API integrations with specific event apps are evaluated case-by-case.

StampRise vs Full Event Apps

Conference and event apps cover a wide feature set: agendas, attendee profiles, networking, maps, sponsor pages, push notifications, and more. They are powerful — but they come with cost, build time, and the requirement that attendees actually download and log into them. StampRise focuses narrowly on no-app stamp card engagement, which can either replace an event app for smaller events or sit alongside one for bigger events.

When StampRise is the best fit

Events where the main goal is booth traffic and engagement.
Events where requiring an app download would lose attendees.
Smaller conferences and trade shows that don't justify an app build.
As a complementary gamification layer alongside an existing event app.

When a full event app makes more sense

Multi-day conferences with rich networking and attendee profiles.
Events that need detailed indoor wayfinding.
Long-running event series where attendees re-install the same app each time.
Programmes that require deep custom integrations with registration or CRM systems.

Example

Example event flow

2StampRise runs in parallel as a no-app sponsor passport and session check-in tool.
3Delegates collect stamps in sponsor zones using only their phone camera.
4Sponsors get clean engagement data, and the event team avoids overloading the main app with gamification features.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the event. If the main goal is booth traffic and gamification, StampRise is enough on its own. If you also need deep networking, profiles, and wayfinding, run StampRise alongside a dedicated event app.
