Frequently Asked Questions

Which of these three has the lowest published starting price?

EventMobi, with per-event pricing from $3,000 or a $8,900 per year unlimited-events plan. Bizzabo starts at $17,999 per year with a three-user minimum, and Cvent publishes no pricing at all, requiring a custom sales quote.

Which platform includes a venue and hotel sourcing tool?

Only Cvent, through the Cvent Supplier Network, which connects meeting planners with tens of thousands of hotels and venues for RFP-based sourcing. Bizzabo and EventMobi do not offer an equivalent sourcing marketplace.

Do all three support hybrid and virtual events?

Yes. Bizzabo includes live streaming and virtual session hosting, Cvent offers studio-style production through Cvent Webinar built on its ON24 acquisition, and EventMobi expanded its virtual and hybrid capabilities through its 2023 acquisition of Run The World.

What is Bizzabo's Klik SmartBadge, and do Cvent or EventMobi have something similar?

Klik SmartBadge is a wearable event badge with click-to-connect networking, automated lead capture, and live attendee analytics, aimed at conferences with 500 or more attendees. Neither Cvent's OnArrival nor EventMobi's badge printing and check-in tools include this wearable networking layer.

Which is the most accessible option for a smaller or first-time event organizer?

None of the three are built for very small or one-off events, but EventMobi's modular per-event pricing from $3,000 is the most accessible entry point of the group, since Bizzabo's floor is $17,999 per year and Cvent requires engaging enterprise sales for any quote.

Which one integrates natively with tools like Salesforce, Marketo, or HubSpot?

Cvent lists native integrations with Salesforce, Marketo, and HubSpot specifically. Bizzabo describes general integrations with common martech and CRM tools, and EventMobi connects to external systems through a free API and native Zapier integration rather than naming specific CRM integrations.
