Why EventfullyManaged wins
Start at $99/mo, not $18K/year
Bizzabo’s Event Experience OS is $499/user/mo with a 3-user, $17,999/yr floor — and Klik wearables are a separate $10K–$75K+ quote. EventfullyManaged is self-serve from $99/mo with no per-seat minimum.
No hardware lock-in
QR check-in, kiosk mode, and digital badges run on every attendee’s phone (shipped) — no proprietary SmartBadge to buy for networking and lead capture. We deliberately don’t chase an NFC hardware ecosystem.
Governance built in, not added on
SSO, RBAC, audit, and the API are inherited from your Burdenoff workspace (shipped) — where Bizzabo gates SSO, API, and custom apps behind premium add-ons.
When Bizzabo may be the better fit
Bizzabo’s Klik SmartBadge hardware and deep HubSpot/Salesforce/Marketo integrations are best-in-class for flagship B2B conferences with the budget for them.
