About
Fifteen years of building software, then a look at the event ticketing and RFID cashless industry and a very obvious gap: opaque pricing, mandatory sales calls, proprietary hardware, and rented on-site servers. RFIDify is the answer to all four.
The gap
After fifteen years as a software engineer, I looked at event ticketing and RFID cashless payments and found a market that had settled into habits no other software category would tolerate. You could not find out what anything cost. You could not see the product without a sales call. You were quoted proprietary hardware and an on-site server before anyone had asked what your event actually needed.
None of that is a technical requirement. It is a business model. Modern cloud infrastructure, browser-based devices, and satellite internet had already removed every excuse for it. So RFIDify was built the way this software should have been built years ago: published pricing, a free account, no hardware lock-in, and no gatekeeper between you and the product.
RFIDify has been in production since 2021. It has been running real events for that whole time rather than sitting in a demo environment, which is a slower way to build software and the only way to find what actually breaks at a gate on event day.
See what it costsWhat we hold to
Principles are cheap when they are free. These each have a real trade-off, which is why competitors do not make them.
Published pricing
One published rate per transaction, per ticket, and per assigned seat, in every currency we settle in. It means we cannot charge one customer more than another for the same thing, which is precisely the point.
Learn moreNo sales gate
No demo request, no discovery call, no waiting for someone to show you screenshots. It means the product has to be good enough to survive being looked at unattended.
No user tax
Charging per seat punishes you for staffing your event properly and pushes teams into sharing logins. We would rather have accurate audit logs than that revenue.
Learn moreNo hardware lock-in
Your own phones, tablets, and laptops are the terminals, so a spare is whatever is in someone's pocket. We give up the hardware margin that a lot of this industry actually lives on.
Connectivity
For years the standard pitch was that festival internet is hopeless, so you should rent an expensive on-site server and run your event on a local network. Satellite services like Starlink have made that argument obsolete. A dish and a generator now give a green field better connectivity than a lot of permanent venues have.
So RFIDify runs in the cloud, where your data is backed up, reachable from anywhere, and not sitting in a trailer that someone has to physically protect for the weekend. And for the moments connectivity still drops, scanning keeps working offline.
How it is built
The reason RFIDify covers this much ground is not feature-checklist ambition. It is that the seams between separate vendors are where the errors and the unexplained variances live.
A ticket buyer, a wristband holder, and a bar customer are one attendee record
Ticket, POS, and RFID money reconcile in one settlement report, not three exports
Your email audience is your ticket buyers, with no integration in between
Every feature ships to every customer, because there are no enterprise tiers
Payment, RFID, ticketing, and attendee data paths are treated as high-risk code
No gatekeeping
Every feature on this site is in the product today. Create an account, click through the real screens, configure a real event, and decide for yourself. Talk to us when you actually want to.
Free to sign up, no credit card, unlimited users. If it does not fit your event, you will know in an afternoon instead of after three meetings.
