    Switching triggers

    Why organizers look for alternatives to Brella.

    Brella is a mature matchmaking platform and a solid fit for many conference programs. The searches that lead organizers to a Brella alternative tend to circle around the same handful of frictions, and each one is a deliberate design decision in Conferras.

    No price you can check upfront

    Without a public price list it is hard to budget one conference or compare vendors quickly. Conferras publishes every tier, so you know the cost before you talk to anyone.

    App install friction

    Every extra install step costs adoption on day one. Conferras is a zero-download PWA: one private link, one tap, straight into the app.

    Sales-led setup takes time

    Demo calls and procurement slow small and mid-size events down. Conferras is self-serve, with a three-stage wizard that gets your event live the same afternoon.

    Pricing transparency

    Brella pricing overview. What you can see before a call.

    Brella does not publish prices on its website, so budgeting starts with a quote request. Conferras takes the opposite approach: every tier is listed publicly and you pay per event, with no modules to add.

    • Brella: no public price list, organizers request a quote. Check brella.io for current terms.
    • Conferras: EUR 89 up to 250 attendees, EUR 399 up to 1,000, EUR 899 up to 3,000, and a Custom tier above that.
    • Every Conferras plan includes matchmaking, 1:1 chat, meetings, agenda, sponsors and stories, so only attendee capacity changes between tiers.
    • No annual contract and no seat licences. Recurring organizers and agencies can ask for a custom tier instead.
