Bizzabo's Event Experience OS is an end-to-end platform for mid-market and enterprise B2B teams, covering registration, check-in, badge printing and a branded event app. Conferras is deliberately smaller: a branded networking app for attendee discovery, matchmaking, chat, meetings and agenda, with nothing else to license.

Why Organizers Look for Alternatives to Bizzabo
Bizzabo is a capable operating system for large event programs. Looking for a Bizzabo alternative usually means the event is smaller than the platform: one conference, one community, one budget line rather than an annual portfolio licence.
Pay per event, not per seat
Bizzabo licenses per user with annual billing and a three-user minimum. Conferras charges a single per-event price, so a one-off conference never turns into a yearly contract.
No app-store step for attendees
Bizzabo ships a branded native event app. Conferras opens from a private link in any browser and saves to the home screen, which keeps attendance friction at zero.
Everything included, nothing to add on
AI matchmaking, chat, 1:1 meetings, agenda, sponsors and stories are part of every Conferras plan. There are no premium add-ons to price up before you know the real cost.
€89 · €399 · €899
Up to 250, 1,000 or 4,000 attendees. Custom above 4k, full branding and custom subdomain on every tier.

Bizzabo vs Conferras Q&A.
Conferras is a Bizzabo alternative for organizers who need attendee profiles, AI matchmaking, private chat, 1:1 meetings and an agenda in a branded app, without an annual per-user licence. It does not replace Bizzabo registration, check-in or badge printing.
Bizzabo lists its Event Experience OS from $499 per user per month, billed annually with a three-user minimum, plus premium add-ons. Conferras costs EUR 89, EUR 399 or EUR 899 per event depending on attendee capacity.
For a single event, almost always: Conferras starts at EUR 89 per event with every feature included. Bizzabo's per-user annual model is built for teams running continuous event programs, where the maths can look different.
Not with Conferras. Attendees open a private link in the browser and can save it to their home screen. Bizzabo provides a branded native event app.
Yes. Conferras includes AI compatibility scoring, direct chat and 1:1 meeting scheduling in every plan, with no add-on required.
If you run a large portfolio of in-person, virtual and hybrid events and need registration, badge printing, check-in and lead retrieval in one system, Bizzabo's wider platform fits that brief. Conferras is for teams that want the networking app on its own.
Yes. Your logo, colors and a custom subdomain are included, so the attendee experience carries your event brand.
Conferras is self-serve: create the event, apply your branding and upload attendees in minutes. A demo is available but never required.
Ship your branded event networking app.
No downloads. No annual contract. One link and your event community app is live.
