Pay once. Use forever. No surprises.
A simpler way to budget for judging events of any size. Wallet from $59. Top pack at $499.
Here's how the Vote Wallet works:
You buy a pack of votes 100, 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,500.
Your wallet balance is shared across every event you run.
Bigger packs cost less per vote, and unused votes never expire.
Votes never expire
One purchase covers one event or twenty. Top up only when your wallet runs low. No “use them or lose them” pressure.
$299 covers any size event
Once your event needs more than 1,000 votes, every additional vote is free, whether your event gets 1,001 votes or 50,000.
Unlimited free events
Every event includes 30 free votes. Run as many small events as you want without spending a cent.
Unlimited free events
Free forever
Every event you create includes 30 free votes with full functionality, no credit card required.

InstaJudge is a judging platform designed for scientific conferences, academic events, and professional competitions, ranging from small panel sessions to large-scale congresses. Organizers can launch an event in minutes, configure scoring criteria, and distribute QR codes or private links to participants. Evaluations are submitted directly from any smartphone, with no app downloads, software installation, or specialized hardware required. Results are calculated and available in real time during the voting process.
No. InstaJudge is fully browser-based. Judges and voters open a link or scan a QR code and score directly in their phone or tablet browser. Nothing to install, no account to create, no password to remember.
InstaJudge is used at medical congresses, academic poster sessions, PhD meetings, scientific conferences, startup pitch competitions, and professional award ceremonies. Whether you're judging 20 entries or 2,000, InstaJudge helps you collect scores, monitor progress, and identify winners in real time.
InstaJudge currently offers three judging modes to fit different event formats. Panel Judging allows named judges to evaluate assigned entries, with full progress tracking for each judge. Audience Scoring allows everyone in the room to score entries anonymously through a shared QR code. Pick the Winner is an intuitive favorite-vote format for People's Choice awards and audience voting. Panel Judges and Audience Scoring support both single-score and multi-criteria evaluations. Pick the Winner uses a simple voting format in which participants select their favorite entry.
Yes. The platform scales from small panel sessions to flagship congresses with thousands of attendees and hundreds or thousands of entries. There's no technical limit on the number of judges, entries, or simultaneous voters, and the system is built to handle high-volume judging smoothly.
InstaJudge is free to use for unlimited events, with up to 30 votes per event, offering full functionality and no credit card required. For larger events, it's pay-as-you-go through the Vote Wallet, with no monthly subscriptions and no setup fees. You top up your wallet with any pack from 100 to 2,500 votes, and the votes are yours to use across any event, anytime. Volume discounts apply automatically, so the bigger the pack, the lower the per-vote rate.
Yes, it really is free. The 30 free votes per event are not a trial, not a teaser, and not time-limited. You can create as many events as you want on the free tier, each with up to 30 votes, using all three scoring modes (Pick the Winner, Audience Scoring, and Panel Judging) and every feature in the platform: live results, judge tracking, spreadsheet exports, QR codes, private links, and scoring criteria. No credit card is required at signup, your account never expires, and there are no hidden limits. The math is simple: 30 votes is enough for most small panel sessions or to test InstaJudge end-to-end on a real event. When your event needs more than 30 votes, you top up your Vote Wallet starting at $59. That's the only point at which money enters the picture.
The Vote Wallet is your pool of prepaid votes for all InstaJudge events. Purchase a pack of 100, 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,500 votes and use them across any event you organize. Larger packs offer a lower cost per vote, and any unused votes remain available in your wallet for future events. Even better, for events with more than 1,000 votes, you are charged only for the first 1,000 votes. Any additional votes within the same event are included at no extra cost.
If your event needs more than 1,000 votes, you are covered. InstaJudge only deducts votes for the first 1,000 votes in any single event. After that, every additional vote is free. That means a 1,000-vote pack can cover an event of any size — whether you receive 1,001 votes or 50,000. It gives you predictable pricing for large conferences, congresses, and flagship events, so you don't have to worry about costs increasing as participation grows.
Every event you create includes 30 free votes with full functionality, no credit card required, and no time limit. You can create as many events as you need, each with its own 30 free votes. The free tier is ideal for testing InstaJudge end-to-end, running small voting sessions, or trying the platform on a real event. When an event needs more than 30 votes, you can top up your Vote Wallet.
Yes. Your Vote Wallet is shared across all events in your account. Buy votes once and use them whenever you need them — for one event or across several. For example, if you buy 500 votes and use 200 for a panel session, the remaining 300 stay in your wallet for future events. There is no per-event allocation, no minimum spend per event, and unused votes do not expire.
No. Votes in your Vote Wallet never expire. They stay with your account for as long as the account exists. We don't believe in "use them or lose them" pressure. Buy votes when it makes sense; use them when you need them.
Each judging mode uses votes differently. Pick the Winner uses one vote per attendee. Audience Scoring is based on attendees × entries scored, and Panel Judging is based on entries × judges assigned. Use the Vote Calculator on the pricing page to estimate your vote count and find the best pack for your event.
Yes. For institutional buyers — universities, hospitals, professional associations, PCO firms — we can issue formal invoices and accept purchase orders. Contact us at hello@scigentech.com to arrange institutional billing.
Yes. Your organizer dashboard shows judging progress in real time, so you can see which judges have completed their scores, who is still in progress, and who has not started yet. This is especially useful for panel judging, where you need to confirm that all required scores are in before closing judging, announcing winners, or starting an awards session.
Results are calculated automatically based on the judging mode you choose during setup. For Panel Judging and Audience Scoring, scores are aggregated and ranked in real time as votes are submitted. You can view the live leaderboard at any point during the event. For Pick the Winner, votes are tallied in real time, and the live leaderboard updates as votes come in. The winner is confirmed as soon as voting closes. There is no manual tabulation, no waiting period, and no spreadsheet work required. You can also export results to a spreadsheet at any time.
Results can be either public or private, depending on the organizer's preference. Some events choose to display live rankings or winner announcements, while others keep all scores and results visible only to organizers. InstaJudge supports both options.
