Why EventfullyManaged wins
A subscription, not a per-event invoice
Whova is typically quoted per event. EventfullyManaged covers a whole calendar for one predictable subscription and reuses workflow templates across events (shipped).
More than a conference app
Ticketing, sponsor and exhibitor lead capture, kiosk check-in, and analytics snapshots all live on the same record (shipped) — not a bolt-on app wrapper. A browser-native WebRTC core for virtual/hybrid sessions ships; large broadcast/SFU scale is roadmap.
Workspace governance
Events inherit the same SSO, RBAC, and audit log as the rest of your organization (shipped) — Whova is a standalone silo with no shared workspace identity.
When Whova may be the better fit
Whova’s mature native mobile app and familiar post-event report are strong for single academic/association conferences where the app experience is the sole buying criterion.
