A lighter alternative to Cvent

    The Cvent alternative for a lighter event app

    Many teams searching for a Cvent alternative already know what they need from an event app: attendee profiles, matchmaking, chat and meetings. Conferras delivers exactly that layer in the browser, priced per event and live without a sales cycle.

    Where Conferras fits

    The Cvent app, known as Cvent Attendee Hub, is the attendee-facing part of a large enterprise suite that also runs registration, check-in and badge printing. Conferras is not a suite. It is a standalone, branded networking space that organizers set up themselves in minutes.

    Why Organizers Look for Alternatives to Cvent

    Cvent Attendee Hub is a strong fit when the whole event already runs on Cvent. Organizers usually start looking for a Cvent alternative when they only need the attendee app, or when the budget and timeline do not allow an enterprise procurement process.

    Only the networking layer is needed

    The value of the Cvent app comes from its connection to Cvent registration and onsite tools. If your registration already lives elsewhere, Conferras adds matchmaking, chat and meetings on its own.

    No download for attendees

    Attendee Hub is a native mobile app with a login. Conferras opens from one private link in any browser and can be saved to the home screen in a tap.

    A price you can see today

    Cvent quotes on request. With Conferras, the cost per event is on the pricing page, so you can plan the budget before anyone schedules a call.

    FAQ

    Cvent vs Conferras Q&A.

    Conferras is a Cvent alternative for organizers who want attendee profiles, AI matchmaking, private chat, 1:1 meetings and an agenda without licensing an enterprise suite. It does not replace Cvent registration, check-in or badge printing.

    Cvent Attendee Hub is the Cvent app for attendees. It works from the same attendee list as Cvent registration and onsite check-in, and includes AI-powered networking, messaging and 1:1 appointment booking.

    Yes, for the attendee networking part. Conferras covers discovery, matchmaking, chat and meetings in a branded app. Teams that rely on Cvent for registration and onsite logistics may prefer to keep the Cvent app connected to those tools.

    Cvent does not publish Attendee Hub pricing, so you need a quote from Cvent. Conferras costs EUR 89, EUR 399 or EUR 899 per event depending on attendee capacity, with a Custom tier above 4,000 attendees.

    Not with Conferras. Attendees open a private link in their browser and can add it to their home screen. The Cvent app is a native mobile app that requires a login.

    Conferras hosts data in the EU under GDPR. Cvent names AWS Frankfurt and Dublin for EU-based and other assigned customers.

    If your organization already runs registration, check-in and badge printing on Cvent and needs SSO or invite-only events inside the same system, Cvent Attendee Hub keeps everything in one place. Conferras suits teams that want the networking app on its own.

    Organizers create the event, apply their logo and colors and upload attendees themselves, usually in minutes. A demo is available but not required.

    No downloads. No annual contract. One link and your event community app is live.
