What It Is

i-Attend is attendance tracking software for continuing professional development, continuing education, conferences, school courses, church services, and organizational events of all kinds. It is primarily a cloud-based SaaS product, emphasizing browser-based access, and is complemented by mobile apps such as i-Attend Mobile Capture, Mobile TAP, and self check-in tools. Its goal is to replace paper sign-in sheets, manual data entry, and the follow-up work involved in organizing certificates.

Core Features

Based on the available information, i-Attend appears to be highly modular. The Events module can create one-time, all-day, or recurring events, with support for public/private categories, instructors, rooms, categories, and credit systems. The Attendees module supports adding, uploading, and editing attendees, with custom fields for extending attendee profiles.

For attendance capture, it supports RFID, Barcode/QR Code, keypad scanners, and batch scanners, while also allowing manual corrections to check-in times. Around the full event workflow, it also provides online registration forms, conference session grouping, name badge design and printing, evaluation surveys, certificate generation and distribution via email or attendee portal, plus more than 20 reports and data export options.

Pricing and Trial

Cloud subscription pricing is straightforward: Platinum is $169/month for up to 400 Attendees/month; Enterprise is $209/month for up to 800; Unlimited is $299/month with no attendee limit. All plans include unlimited user accounts and unlimited attendance records. The minimum subscription term is 2 months, and plans can be upgraded, downgraded, or canceled at any time. Account reactivation costs $99, which is waived for nonprofit organizations. Some mobile apps require an additional $65/month depending on the plan. The official site offers a live demo and a 15-day free trial.

Collaboration, Security, and Deployment

For team collaboration, the materials clearly state support for unlimited user accounts, with Users and Roles managed in the Settings module, indicating basic permission management. On security and compliance, the site mentions keeping records “organized, secure and easily accessible” and states that its data centers are SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliant, but it does not disclose details on encryption, backups, privacy regulations, or auditing.

In terms of deployment, the core offering is cloud SaaS. The site mentions On-Premise, but does not provide pricing or technical requirements for local deployment. API and developer support are not described.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are comprehensive coverage of vertical use cases, especially continuing education credits, training compliance, conference check-ins, and certificate issuance. Support for RFID, QR codes, barcodes, and batch capture is also practical. The downsides are limited public information on integrations and APIs, relatively high-level security descriptions, and extra charges for some apps.

It is best suited to education, healthcare, corporate training, and nonprofit organizations that have established event management workflows and need accurate attendance records plus automated certificate distribution.

Access from China

Mainland China access, payment methods, and localization are not disclosed in the available materials, so they should be considered unknown. Since subscriptions are priced in USD, organizations in China may need to assess credit card/cross-border payment support, network stability, the English-language interface, and data export requirements. If local access and domestic payment options are priorities, alternatives in China such as 活动行, 签到荚, or 问卷星 event registration/check-in may be worth comparing.
