Why EventfullyManaged wins
Reachable pricing for mid-market teams
Cvent hides pricing behind procurement and lands at ~$20K–$79K+/yr plus $7–$12 per registrant (fees rising from July 2026). EventfullyManaged publishes tiers from $99/mo with regional bands and no per-attendee penalty.
Days to value, not quarters
Skip the months-long implementation. The full lifecycle — events, venues, registration, ticketing, sponsors, sessions, check-in — ships today as one connected platform (shipped), so you create an event and start selling tickets the same week.
Governance is structural, not bolted on
Where Cvent composes across sub-products (Attendee Hub, OnArrival), EventfullyManaged events inherit identity, RBAC, billing, and audit from your Burdenoff workspace on one record — with oversell-proof registration that can’t sell beyond capacity (shipped), not an add-on tier.
When Cvent may be the better fit
Very large global enterprises that need Cvent’s 300k-venue sourcing network, mature native apps, audited compliance packages, and onsite hardware may still prefer Cvent today.
