## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## For event agencies specifically (proposals, budgets, margins across many clients)
> 
> **1. Qondor** - The one I'd point an event agency or DMC to first. It's built around the *business* of delivering events rather than the event itself: proposal, budget, supplier costs, registration, and invoice all live as one project record, so a supplier price change or client approval propagates everywhere. Multi-currency, VAT, and commission handling out of the box - the stuff generic platforms make you do in Excel. Weakness: smaller ecosystem and fewer integrations than the big names.

> 
> **2. Swoogo** - Best value if your client work is mostly registration, event websites, and attendee marketing. Fast to set up, genuinely good design control (clients notice this), and it's the one agencies tend to pick when they want to white-label a slick reg site per client without a six-figure contract. It won't manage your margins or supplier costs. ([accelevents comparison](https://www.accelevents.com/blog/stova-vs-swoogo), [softwarereviews](h
