Fully white-label, on your own domain
Devfolio is a polished, free hackathon flow with deep roots in India's student and Web3 scene. BuilderBase is fully white-label with sponsor ROI reporting and enterprise controls, for organizers who need their own brand end to end.
The gaps organizers hit with Devfolio
Global full-lifecycle vs India/Web3 hackathon tool
Full white-label (your brand, not devfolio.co)
Your domain and your brand, start to finish. Devfolio still routes applicants through devfolio.co and its verification flow.
Sponsor ROI + enterprise readiness (SSO, GDPR)
A sponsor ROI dashboard, plus SSO and GDPR terms. Devfolio has analytics, but neither the reporting nor the compliance layer.
Programs beyond hackathons
Run the hackathon, then the accelerator cohort it feeds, in the same system.

What it actually costs.
Devfolio owns India's student and Web3 hackathon scene — free for universities, an active hacker network, and an 'Apply with Devfolio' embed organizers already trust there. If your event lives entirely inside that ecosystem, Devfolio's distribution is hard to match.
