ZONE: DUE DILIGENCE
Bloop and AccredTix.
They launched a free tier in August 2026, so people are comparing free against free. That is a fair comparison to want, and the answer depends entirely on how many events you run.
WHAT ACCREDTIX IS GOOD AT
A genuinely generous free tier. All nine modules, a full event, up to five team members, at no cost. Nobody else in this category gives away that much, and if you are running a single production with a small core team it is a real offer rather than a trial.
PICK THEM IF
You run one event with five or fewer people who need system access, in which case their free tier covers more modules than ours does. Or you want catering, accommodation and vehicle management on the free tier specifically, which they include and we do not.
PICK BLOOP IF
You run a season, because their paid tier is billed per month per event and ours is one annual licence across everything you run. Or you need scanning to survive a signal blackout, which their public material does not address.
SIDE BY SIDE
Every row cites the page it came from.
Our column is checkable in the product. Theirs is what they publish about themselves, with a link to the page and the date we read it. Where their material does not cover something, the row says so rather than guessing in our favour.

IF YOU MOVED
What moving actually involves.
- 01Export your people, suppliers and document records.
- 02Import to Bloop and set your zones and pass types during the import.
- 03Test on the free tier first. Up to 100 unique people costs nothing and needs no card.
- 04Keep both running for one show if you want a side by side. Nothing about Bloop requires you to cut over on a date.
