Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Bizzabo
Why switch from Bizzabo to Who's In Conference?▼
Bizzabo targets enterprise marketing teams with annual contracts, a mandatory sales process, and complex CRM integrations most conference organisers never use. Who's In Conference starts at $49/month with self-serve setup, attendee matchmaking, sponsor portals, and QR badge printing — everything a community or mid-size conference needs without the enterprise overhead.
How much does Who's In Conference cost compared to Bizzabo?▼
Bizzabo pricing goes through a sales process. Who's In Conference is $49/month or $490/year (Starter), or $149/month (Growth), with a 0% Who's In fee on ticket sales (Stripe's standard processing applies). There are no setup fees, no annual contracts, and no sales calls required.
Does Who's In Conference have attendee matchmaking like Bizzabo?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference includes built-in, rule-based attendee matchmaking that suggests people to meet based on shared interests, industry, goals, and session tracks. Bizzabo offers networking features but at a price point that locks out most community conferences. Attendee matchmaking is available from the $49/month Starter plan.
Can I create sponsor portals with Who's In Conference?▼
Yes. You set up each sponsor's profile, logo, tier and booth number, and sponsors appear in tiers (Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.) on your conference page. Your team scans attendee badges for each sponsor (with the attendee's consent), and each sponsor sees and exports its leads in its own portal. This is included in both Conference plans — no add-on fees.
Does Who's In Conference support multi-day events with multiple tracks?▼
Absolutely. Who's In Conference supports multi-day agendas with concurrent session tracks, speaker profiles, room assignments, and personal schedule builders for attendees. Attendees can save sessions to a personal agenda and rate sessions after they attend.
Is there a free trial available?▼
Yes. You can start a Who's In Conference plan and explore all features before going live with a paid event. Both plans start with a 14-day free trial, and your card is collected at checkout. When you're ready to charge for tickets, there's a 0% Who's In fee on ticket sales (Stripe's standard processing applies).
