Why Evalato’s Pro plan gives you the most value for money

All of Evalato’s pricing plans are carefully crafted to cater to a variety of program needs and budgets, offering the best awards management software value for diverse needs and budgets. That said, Evalato’s Pro Plan has an extra edge in the price-to-features ratio, especially after the software’s lists and awards update. So, let’s see why it’s worth exploring and how much it can elevate your program. 

Pro Plan uncovered 

Evalato’s Pro plan builds on the lower-tier options, significantly expanding their feature sets to accommodate more complex application and evaluation needs, and giving programs more marketing firepower.   

Enhanced branding options 

In addition to neat features such as logo branding, custom style and colors, a branded applicant portal, and a vanity domain, the Pro plan also offers:

• Custom domain that enables you to use your own domain with all of your program’s links. 
• The option to use your email address, which helps you maintain your brand identity across your communications with all interested parties — applicants and judges, as well as partners, sponsors, and media.      
• Branded applicant portal that gives you the option to upload a logo and a cover photo for an even more seamless experience for your applicants. 

More complex application needs  

Evalato’s Pro plan can further accommodate more complex application needs thanks to: 

• Up to 10,000 entries, sufficient to cater to larger submission volumes.    

• Video hosting and playback where applicants can upload videos that are hosted privately and available for streaming. 

While links to video content are also an option with lower-tier Evalato plans, the Pro package caters to video content that cannot be uploaded on platforms like Vimeo or YouTube, adding an extra layer of confidentiality and security where needed. 

• Unlimited file upload, meaning there are literally no size restrictions on the files your applicants can upload to make their case. 

More voting options and no unintentional bias  

Evaluation is one of the areas where the Evalato Pro plan really takes off. Let’s take a look at what you get with it. 

• Ranked voting — the Pro plan gives you all of Evalato’s judging modes, most notably, positional voting and single transferable vote. Both evaluation types are an excellent choice for programs featuring multiple judges where reaching a consensus about the winner or winners could prove a challenge.    
• Score normalization — one of Evalato’s standout features, score normalization applies a mathematical formula to remove any unintentional judging bias, boosting your award program’s objectivity.  

Elevating recognition  

Showcasing results and winners is another area where Evalato’s Pro plan further hikes the price-to-features ratio, thanks to:  

• Winner lists — customizable to the last detail, the winner lists give you extra tools to show results and celebrate winners, on a dedicated Evalato-generated webpage or on your own website, enhancing the seamless user experience of your program.  
• Awards — the Pro package comes with visual badges that you can add to selected entries and then visualize on the public Winner Lists. 

Customer service tools  

In addition to all of the above, with the Pro plan, you get HubSpot and Intercom integration, with either one giving you the option to add chat functionality to your program. Regardless of whether your awards are paid or free, your applicants will appreciate the customer service touch, raising the likelihood of them returning for the next edition.    

In a nutshell 

Evalato’s Pro plan offers the best value for money if you are looking for a full-fledged awards software experience. Still not sure? You can test all the plans’ features for free, or book a call with a customer success manager to choose the right Evalato plan for your needs.
