## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## For agencies, the honest answer is you need two things, not one
> 
> Agencies get burned buying one tool to do both the **attendee-facing platform** (registration, event site, onsite check-in) and the **internal delivery stack** (project plans, budgets, client billing). Almost nothing does both well. Here's who I'd actually name for each.
> 
> ### Attendee-facing platform
> 
> **1. Swoogo** - my default recommendation for agencies specifically. It's the only major platform that markets to agencies as a first-class segment, and the economics fit: it's licensed by seat/site rather than per-event or per-registrant, so running 40 client events a year doesn't multiply your cost. Deeply white-labelable registration forms and event websites, which matters when the output has to carry your client's brand, not yours. The catch is price - Capterra lists entry pricing around $11,800/yr, so it's a real commitment, not a try-it-out tool. ([swoogo.events/agencies](https://swoogo.events/agencies/), [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/161291/Swoogo/))
> 
> **2. Cvent** - the one to pick when your clients are enterprises who already use it, or when venue sourcing and hotel room blocks are part of your scope.
