Caught

Caught is a good fit for organizers who want to build reusable location-based games or tours without commissioning a custom mobile app. It is not a general event networking platform, and its buyer fit depends on whether teams need reusable location experiences rather than one-off event engagement.

Standard credits start at EUR 7.19 per team/user; white-label starts at EUR 6.30 per team/user based on monthly users

Honest Limitations

Narrow Use Case

Caught is purpose-built for location-based apps and games, not a broad event management or networking suite.

Review Coverage Is Thin

Independent software review coverage is limited, so buyers should request references and examples.

White-Label Apps Need Lead Time

Custom app-store presence can introduce approval, branding, and maintenance timelines.

Pricing Needs Scenario Modeling

Credit and monthly-user pricing should be modeled around team sizes, repeat use, support devices, and usage duration.

Connectivity And Device Testing Matter

Outdoor, GPS, and mobile-heavy experiences should be tested on the actual route and devices.

Pricing Breakdown
Plan Price Details
Standard Starting at EUR 7.19 per team/user Prepaid credits, standard Caught app, no startup costs, and upgrade path to white-label
White-label Starting at EUR 6.30 per team/user Monthly usage pricing, own app in Apple App Store and Google Play, API usage, multiple apps, and Caught Shop
Custom usage Contact vendor Needed for longer user access, special support, custom app arrangements, or unusual usage patterns

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! White-label app setup, review, branding, and maintenance may require extra lead time or cost
  • ! Route design, content creation, prizes, staffing, and onsite support are separate from platform credits
  • ! Longer user access beyond 24 hours requires vendor confirmation

Caught helps teams create location-based experiences such as scavenger hunts, tours, trainings, and city games without building a custom app from scratch.

Its fit depends on the experience format. If the event needs conference networking or agenda engagement, use a broader event app instead.
