When Evalato is the better choice

We don't pretend a 10-year incumbent has no strengths. Pick Evalato if any of these match you.

  • You're a European awards organizer where EUR billing + EU data residency on the entry tier is a hard requirement (Aclamos offers EU residency starting on Studio).
  • You need Evalato's reference customer list (European industry associations + national chambers).
  • You don't need the AI / MCP / verifiable-voting layer Aclamos differentiates on.

Why teams switch from Evalato to Aclamos

  • Native mobile judging app with offline packets — Evalato is web-only.
  • AI Show Director generates the full show config from one paragraph; AI scoring suggestions during judging.
  • MCP server lets you query and mutate your show from Claude Desktop / ChatGPT / Cursor.
  • Open Badges 3.0 (Ed25519-signed) for verifiable winner credentials on LinkedIn.
  • End-to-end verifiable public voting (Helios-grade) for people's-choice awards — Evalato has none.
