Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Cvent
Why switch from Cvent to Who's In Conference?▼
Cvent is designed for enterprise-scale events with enterprise contracts. Who's In Conference delivers the core conference features — agenda, networking, registration, analytics — starting at $49/month. If you don't need Cvent's hotel sourcing or enterprise CRM integrations, you don't need to pay for them.
Is Who's In Conference powerful enough to replace Cvent?▼
For community conferences, professional meetups, and mid-size events (50-5,000 attendees), absolutely. Who's In Conference handles multi-track agendas, attendee networking, ticketing, real-time analytics, and email broadcasts to attendees. What it doesn't do is enterprise hotel block management and deep CRM integrations.
How much can I save by switching from Cvent?▼
Cvent prices by contract, depending on event volume and features. Who's In Conference is $49/month or $490/year, with a 0% Who's In fee on ticket sales (Stripe's standard processing applies).
Does Who's In Conference support virtual and hybrid events?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference supports in-person, virtual, and hybrid event formats. Virtual attendees get the same agenda, networking, and engagement features. Integrate your preferred streaming platform (Zoom, YouTube Live, etc.) directly into session pages.
Can I handle conference registration and ticketing?▼
Yes. Who's In Conference includes full registration with custom ticket types, early bird pricing, group discounts, and promo codes. Payments go through your own Stripe account with a 0% Who's In fee. Attendees get instant confirmation by email, and a QR-coded badge you can print for check-in.
What about data export and vendor lock-in?▼
Who's In Conference gives you full data export at any time — registrations (including who checked in) and sponsor leads, in CSV format. No vendor lock-in, no contracts, no cancellation fees. Your data is always yours to take.
Do attendees need to download an app?▼
No. Who's In Conference is web-first — attendees access your full conference from any browser on any device. No app store download, no Cvent account needed. They can build a personal agenda and check in with the QR code on their badge — all without installing anything.
