The answer, as recorded

For agencies specifically - meaning you're running events on behalf of multiple clients, not just your own - here's what I'd actually recommend, in order: ## 1. Swoogo - the default pick for most event agencies This is the one I'd start with. Pricing is based on your team size rather than per-event or per-registrant, so you can spin up unlimited events and unlimited registrations for one predictable cost - which is the whole ballgame when you're reselling to clients and need margin. It's fully white-label, supports sub-accounts so each client's data stays separated, and the registration/website builder is the most design-flexible in the category. Their partner program is free to join. Weakness: it's registration + websites + onsite first; it's not a virtual/hybrid streaming platform. [swoogo.events/agencies](https://swoogo.events/agencies/) · [swoogo.events/pricing](https://swoogo.events/pricing/) ## 2. Cvent - when the client demands it The 800-lb gorilla, and honestly you often don't get to choose: enterprise and pharma clients frequently have Cvent mandated by procurement. Full lifecycle including venue sourcing (its real moat - nothing else touches the supplier network), housing, badging, and post-event ROI. Buy it when you need compliance, global scale, and standardization. Downsides: expensive (roughly $3-5K/yr entry, $20K+ for larger deployments), rigid, and it has a real learning curve. Not a nimble agency tool.

Bizzabo - for B2B conference and field-marketing work Best-in-class attendee experience and the strongest onsite hardware story via the Klik SmartBadge (contactless networking, real-time lead capture, session tracking, sponsor analytics). If your clients are tech/B2B and care about sponsor ROI reporting, this is the one that wins the pitch. Pricing starts around $499/user/month billed annually, so it's a commitment. [bizzabo.com/blog/bizzabo-vs-cvent](https://www.bizzabo.com/blog/bizzabo-vs-cvent) ## 4. EventMobi - built for the partner/agency model Explicitly structured for AMCs and B2B event agencies managing many clients from one console - registration, branded apps, onsite. Cheaper than the top three and their reseller economics are agency-friendly. Good middle option if Swoogo is too light on the app side and Bizzabo too expensive. [eventmobi.com partners](https://www.eventmobi.com/customers/event-management-software-for-partners/) ## 5. Accelevents - the value play White-label custom domain, branded app and emails, solid hybrid/virtual support, and notably better pricing than Bizzabo or Cvent for comparable core features. Where I'd go for mid-market clients or when you're margin-squeezed on a fixed-fee retainer. [accelevents.com/solutions/agencies](https://www.accelevents.com/solutions/agencies) --- **One thing worth flagging:** none of the above handles the *agency business* side - client billing, scoping, resource allocation, approvals across a portfolio of concurrent events. Almost every agency I'd point at the list above also runs **Monday.com** or **Asana** underneath for production project management, and smaller shops use **HoneyBook** for proposals/contracts/invoicing. If your clients are venues or hospitality rather than corporates, the answer changes entirely - that's **Tripleseat** or **Event Temple**, not any of the five above. **Short version:** if you want one recommendation without caveats, it's Swoogo. Bring in Cvent only when a client forces it, and Bizzabo when the pitch hinges on attendee experience and sponsor ROI.
