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 and NFC check-in, kiosk mode and digital badges run on standard phones and tablets — no proprietary SmartBadge to buy for networking and lead capture.
Governance built in, not added on
SSO, RBAC, audit and the API are inherited from your Burdenoff workspace — 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.
