Most \"best event software\" lists only cover the first. Here's what I'd actually name:\n\n## Client-facing platforms you resell under your own brand\n\n**1. Swoogo** - My default recommendation for most agencies. Flat, user-based pricing instead of per-registration fees, which is the single biggest cost issue for agencies running many events of unpredictable size. Fast to build, highly customizable registration and event sites, no penalty for running small or free events. Pricing model is the reason it wins over Stova/Cvent for portfolio work. ([swoogo.events](https://swoogo.events/compare/swoogo-vs-stova/))\n\n**2. InEvent** - Built explicitly for agency-scale operation: multiple clients under one umbrella account, white-labeled, covering registration, branded landing pages, mobile apps, check-in, badge printing, livestreaming, and post-event analytics. Good if you want one vendor for the whole lifecycle rather than stitching together. ([inevent.c", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
