## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For agencies specifically - meaning you run many events a year, for multiple clients, with your own branding on the front end - here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Swoogo** - My default recommendation for agencies, and it's not close. The pricing model is the reason: flat annual fee based on *admin seats*, not per registrant, with unlimited events and unlimited registrations. Professional is ~$11,800/yr and includes white-label event sites, so you can run 40 client events on one contract without margin evaporating. The registration builder and site designer are the most flexible in the mid-market, which matters when every client wants a different look. Most "best for agencies" roundups land on Swoogo for exactly this reason.

> 
> **2. Cvent** - The answer when your clients are large enterprises and the job includes venue sourcing, hotel room blocks, and procurement governance. Nothing else touches its supplier network and contracting side. Downsides for an agency: heaviest contracts, per-registrant economics, and it's the weakest of the big three
