The Affordable Swapcard Alternative With AI Matchmaking
Swapcard charges per attendee — so every growing conference pays more. Who's In Conference charges a flat $49/month for unlimited attendees, with AI matchmaking, LinkedIn badges, and sponsor portals included.

What Organisers Say After Switching from Swapcard
"Swapcard's per-attendee fees meant our 600-person conference cost over $3,000 just in platform fees. Who's In Conference is $49/month — same features, no sticker shock."
James W.
Annual Tech Summit, Edinburgh
"The LinkedIn badge import was a revelation. Every attendee had a professional headshot on their badge without us doing anything. The networking immediately improved."
Aisha N.
Business Leaders Forum, Lagos
"Swapcard's AI matching is good — but so is Who's In Conference's. And at $49/month vs $4,000 per event, it wasn't a hard decision."

Innovation Summit Organiser, Milan
Frequently Asked Questions
Why switch from Swapcard to Who's In Conference?▼
Swapcard charges per-attendee fees that make your conference more expensive as it grows. A 500-person conference at Swapcard's typical pricing can cost $2,000–$5,000+ (as of March 2026, subject to change). Who's In Conference charges a flat $49/month — unlimited attendees, same price every event. Both offer AI matchmaking, but only one prices it fairly.
How does Who's In Conference pricing compare to Swapcard?▼
Swapcard uses per-attendee pricing that typically starts around $3–$6 per attendee per event (as of March 2026, subject to change), plus a platform fee. For a 500-person conference, that's $1,500–$3,000+ in Swapcard fees alone. Who's In Conference charges a flat $49/month (Starter) or $149/month (Pro) with a 2.7% fee on paid ticket sales only — no per-attendee platform fees.
Does Who's In Conference have AI matchmaking like Swapcard?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference includes AI-powered attendee matchmaking that connects people based on professional interests, job titles, goals, and stated preferences. Like Swapcard, we surface relevant introductions before, during, and after the event. Unlike Swapcard, our matchmaking is available from the $49/month Starter plan — not locked behind enterprise tiers.
Does Who's In Conference have a sponsor portal?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference includes a dedicated sponsor portal where sponsors can self-manage their profile, upload assets, view attendee engagement analytics, and download lead data. Swapcard also has sponsor portal functionality — but Who's In delivers it at a fraction of the cost with a simpler self-serve interface.
Can I import LinkedIn profiles into conference badges?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference supports LinkedIn badge integration — attendees can authorise their LinkedIn profile to auto-populate their conference badge with their headshot, name, job title, and company. Badges can be printed on-site with a QR code or distributed digitally. This feature is unique to Who's In Conference and dramatically improves badge quality without requiring attendees to upload photos manually.
Is Who's In Conference suitable for large conferences like Swapcard?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference handles events from 50 to 5,000+ attendees. Real-time dashboards, session capacity management, QR check-in, and AI matchmaking all scale with your event. For events over 5,000 attendees, contact us for dedicated support options.
