Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For agencies specifically - meaning you're running events *for clients*, often several at once, under their branding - the shortlist is narrower than the generic "best event software" lists suggest. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:

> **1. Swoogo** - the default recommendation for agencies, and it's not close. It's the only major platform that sells to agencies as a named segment, and its pricing model is the reason: flat annual fee (Professional is ~$11,800/yr), **unlimited events and unlimited registrations**, priced per user rather than per attendee.

Fully white-label registration and event sites, strong custom reg flows. Weakness: it's registration-and-website-first, not a full engagement/app platform.

> **2. Cvent** - the one to pick when your clients are enterprise and the hard part is *logistics*: venue sourcing (340k+ venues), hotel room blocks, contracting, procurement governance, trade show tools. If you're an agency whose value-add includes sourcing and meeting procurement, Cvent is the industry st
