AirLST

About this app

AirLST is event management software for corporate events, built in Munich since 2009. One platform covers the whole guest journey: personalized email invitations in your design, registration forms with conditional fields, plus-ones and workshop sessions, a live guest list the whole team works on, event websites without code, QR tickets, a seating chart fed by the guest list, a mobile event app with agenda and ticket, and fast check-in with iOS and Android apps that keep scanning offline. Badges print on arrival, and statistics show attendance and no-shows. AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot can connect through the AirLST MCP server, with your permissions and every step logged. AirLST is TISAX-assessed, GDPR-compliant and hosted in Germany. Brands like Zalando, Munich Airport, ProSiebenSat.1 and Mercedes-Benz run their events on it. Free for events up to 50 guests.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

AirLST is a 15-year-old Munich event platform that has quietly built the unglamorous parts of corporate events properly: branded invitations, conditional registration, a shared guest list, QR tickets, seating charts, badge printing and offline check-in apps. The measured evidence backs the polish — desktop Lighthouse 99, mobile 85, accessibility 100/100, and 10 of 12 security headers with HTTPS, HSTS, SPF and DMARC all set. The positioning is sharp and honest: TISAX-assessed, GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany, with named references including Zalando, Munich Airport and Mercedes-Benz. Where it stumbles is the mobile app experience, where duplicate guest entries and cramped filter controls undercut an otherwise clean interface, and in the missing CSP header and absent published audit report that a compliance buyer would want to see. It is not trying to beat Cvent at scale; it is trying to be the safe, German, AI-connectable choice for serious corporate events, and on the evidence it mostly is.

Measure by measure

Usability

16 named features cover invite-to-check-in, plus a free tier to 50 guests and a demo calendar. Offline iOS/Android check-in is a real operational win. Mobile filter tap targets are small.

Design

Judging the app UI plus site: purple/teal system is coherent across homepage and mobile check-in app, and the desktop guest list scans well. Mobile guest list duplicates and cramped filter modal drag it down.

Speed

Lighthouse desktop 99/100 and mobile 85/100 with CLS 0 and TBT 70ms — genuinely snappy. Mobile LCP of 3.9s is the one soft spot, above the 2.5s good threshold.

Security

10/12 security headers, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, SPF and DMARC set, plus claimed TISAX assessment, GDPR compliance and German hosting. CSP is missing and no audit report is published.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 100/100, multi-language site and iOS plus Android apps. No published WCAG statement or accessibility page, so the perfect automated score is unconfirmed by documentation.

Growth

Sharp wedge: TISAX-assessed, German-hosted corporate events with MCP AI integration and offline check-in. 15-year-old domain and blue-chip references. Crowded category caps the ceiling.

Improvement areas

Mobile guest list shows duplicate attendee names with no grouping or merge affordance, undermining trust in the list at the door.
No Content-Security-Policy header, and no published audit report or bug bounty behind the TISAX and ISO 27001 trust-bar claims.
No WCAG conformance statement despite a 100/100 automated accessibility score; mobile filter tap targets and reset-button contrast are weak.

Design & Usability

AirLST's design story is split between a clean marketing site and a functional check-in app. The purple/teal system carries across both, the desktop guest list uses status pills and row striping to make scanning fast, and the homepage hero is confident without being loud. The mobile app is where it slips: the guest list screenshot shows the same attendee repeated four times with no grouping or merge affordance, and the filter modal crams rows together with a low-contrast reset button. Usability is broader and stronger — 16 named features cover the whole guest journey from branded invitation emails through registration, QR tickets, seating charts, badge printing and reporting, with a free tier up to 50 guests and a bookable demo. Offline check-in on iOS and Android is the kind of detail that only comes from people who have actually stood at a venue door with bad Wi-Fi. The friction is in the small stuff: tiny mobile tap targets and a filter flow that needs more breathing room.

Speed & Security

Speed is the most measurable win here. Lighthouse gives desktop 99/100 and mobile 85/100, with CLS 0 and TBT 70ms — the page is stable and responsive under load. The one blemish is mobile LCP at 3.9s, comfortably above the 2.5s 'good' threshold, so phone users wait a beat longer than they should for the hero to paint. Security is where AirLST leans hardest into its positioning. The HTTP probe found HTTPS enforced with HSTS, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, SPF and DMARC all in place — 10 of 12 checklist points. The missing piece is a Content-Security-Policy header. On top of that, the company claims TISAX assessment, GDPR compliance and German hosting, and runs a Trust Center page covering GDPR, TISAX and data residency. What is not published is an audit report or a bug bounty, so the compliance claims rest on the vendor's word rather than a document a procurement team can read.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility looks strong on paper: Lighthouse's axe-core audit returns a perfect 100/100, the site runs in multiple languages, and the product ships native iOS and Android apps, which widens platform coverage considerably. The caveat is that automated checks only cover part of WCAG, and no accessibility statement or conformance page appears in the collected site content — so the score is real but undocumented. Growth is a judgement about the idea, and AirLST's idea is unusually specific: sell compliance-grade event management to DACH corporates who need TISAX, German data residency and audit trails. That is a real, expensive problem, and the alternatives listed — Cvent, Eventbrite, Bizzabo — are global platforms that do not lead with German hosting or TISAX. The MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot is a genuine differentiator for teams already wiring AI into workflows, and offline check-in solves a physical-world failure mode. The ceiling is the category: corporate event software is crowded, the buyer is slow-moving, and the wedge is geographic and regulatory rather than structural, which limits how far it travels outside DACH.

Conclusion

If you run corporate events in DACH and your procurement team asks about TISAX, data residency and audit trails before they ask about features, AirLST is built for exactly that conversation. The free tier to 50 guests makes it cheap to test on a real event, and the offline check-in apps are the kind of thing you only appreciate once the venue Wi-Fi dies. Go in expecting a solid, compliance-first platform rather than a design showcase, and budget time for the mobile guest-list quirks. The bigger question is whether the AI integration and German hosting are enough to pull you off a global incumbent — for a Munich-based enterprise with strict data rules, the answer is plausibly yes.

Suggestions for improvement

Fix the mobile guest list: deduplicate or group repeated attendee names and add a merge affordance so the list is trustworthy at a glance.
Add a Content-Security-Policy header to close the one gap in an otherwise strong security header set.
Publish the TISAX assessment summary and a WCAG conformance statement so compliance and accessibility claims are verifiable, not just asserted.
Increase mobile tap targets on the filter icon and raise contrast on the reset button in the filter modal.
