Smarter pricing, richer entry forms: what's new in Evalato

The ink is barely dry on Evalato 2.0 — the biggest overhaul in the awards platform's history — and we're already shipping more. Two new additions are live now: Price sets, a smarter way to manage your pricing, and the Number field, a flexible new form field that handles anything numerical.

Here's what changed and what it means for your program.

Price sets: all your pricing, in one place

Managing entry fees across multiple categories used to mean a lot of clicking around. Evalato’s new Price sets feature changes that. Everything pricing-related now lives in one dedicated space, so your financial setup stays clean, consistent, and easy to update.

• Centralized pricing — Now you can define a pricing structure once and apply it across as many categories as you need — no more configuring each one individually.
• Flexible by design — Prefer to manage pricing category by category? You can still select a price set directly at the category level, so you're not locked into one way of working.
• Automatic migration — Already running a program on Evalato? Your existing category prices will be moved to Price Sets automatically. Nothing to reconfigure, nothing to redo.
• Automated pricing periods (Pro plan and above) — Set your early-bird deadline, your standard rate, your late entry fee — and let Evalato switch between them automatically on the dates you choose. No manual updates, no missed windows.

If your program runs phased pricing — and most do — this one will save you more time than you'd expect.

Number field: one field, many uses

Entry forms now support a Number field — and it pulls more weight than the name suggests.

• Prefix and suffix support — add a currency symbol, a unit, a percentage sign, or any label to make the field self-explanatory to entrants
• Min/max limits — set a valid input range to keep submissions clean and consistent, no manual checking required
• Works for virtually anything — revenue figures, team size, product weight, market share, dimensions, counts — if it's a number, this field can handle it

It's a focused addition that closes a genuine gap in what entry forms can collect.
