Here's how I'd rank them:\n\n**1. Swoogo** - My default recommendation for agencies. Flat annual license (~$11,800/yr for the Professional tier) covering *unlimited events and unlimited registrants*, priced per user rather than per event. That's the single biggest structural fit: you can spin up a one-off 40-person client dinner without a new SKU. Fully white-labelable at no extra cost, open REST API, and a drag-and-drop site builder that doesn't look like a 2014 template. They market directly to agencies and have a dedicated agency program. Weakness: lighter on onsite tech and deep analytics than the enterprise players. ([swoogo.events/agencies](https://swoogo.events/agencies/), [pricing](https://swoogo.events/pricing/))\n\n**2. Cvent** - Where to go when the work is logistically heavy: venue sourcing, hotel room blocks, procurement, badge printing, large-scale onsite check-in via OnArrival with proprietary hardware. Nobody beats it on venue sourcing or operational infrastructure. Downsides for agencies are real: expensive, p", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
