Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n---\n\n### For client-facing event tech\n\n**1. Swoogo** - my default recommendation for most agencies. Seat-based licensing with unlimited events and unlimited registrations, which is unusual in this category and exactly what you want when you're running 40 small client events a year instead of two big ones. Strong white-label/design control so each client site looks like the client, not like your vendor. Roughly $8-12k/yr at the low end, scaling to $18-30k+ for larger teams ([pricing analysis](https://test.spendbase.co/?p=37364) - third-party estimate, treat as a ballpark; Swoogo doesn't publish rates).\n\n**2. Cvent** - the one to pick when the client's program is large, global, or compliance-heavy.
