    Pricing transparency

    Grip Pricing Overview

    Grip does not show a public platform price list on its website. Its product can be selected as a complete solution or by module, so a current quote is the reliable way to establish cost. Conferras publishes three per-event tiers before you book a call.

    • Grip: current platform pricing is not publicly listed; contact the vendor for a quote.
    • Conferras: EUR 89 for up to 250 attendees, EUR 399 for up to 1,000 and EUR 899 for up to 4,000.
    • Grip presents Engage, Manage and Onsite products as a complete or modular event technology platform.
    • Conferras keeps the scope focused on the attendee community and charges per event rather than by published feature bundles.

    Why Organizers Look for Alternatives to Grip

    A search for a Grip alternative does not mean Grip is the wrong platform. The decision usually depends on how much event infrastructure a team wants to buy, how attendees should enter and whether the budget must be visible before a sales conversation.

    A concentrated product brief

    Grip publicly covers engagement, registration, exhibitor management, badging and onsite tools. Conferras is intentionally concentrated on the branded attendee community, from discovery through confirmed 1:1 meetings.

    Browser-first attendee access

    Conferras opens through a private link and can be saved to the home screen. That removes the app-store step when fast entry matters more than a native mobile app.

    A budget visible from the start

    Grip asks prospective customers to discuss the right product mix. Conferras publishes its per-event tiers, letting organizers establish the cost before contacting the team.

    FAQ

    Grip vs Conferras Q&A.

    Conferras is a Grip alternative for organizers who need attendee profiles, AI matchmaking, private chat, 1:1 meetings and an agenda in a focused branded app. It is not a replacement for every registration, badge or onsite product Grip offers.

    Grip presents engagement, event management and onsite products that can be combined or selected as modules. Conferras focuses on the attendee networking and community experience, with stories, sponsors and organizer communication around it.

    Grip does not publish a platform price list on its website, so organizers should request a current quote. Conferras publishes per-event prices of EUR 89, EUR 399 and EUR 899, based on attendee capacity.

    That depends on the event. Both platforms describe AI-powered recommendations, while Conferras also puts its compatibility score beside attendee profiles and connects the flow to chat and 1:1 scheduling.

    Yes. Attendees open a private link in their browser and can add the PWA to their home screen. Grip promotes a fully featured white-label mobile event app.

    If your brief requires one vendor for registration, badge printing, entrance scanning and broader onsite operations, Grip's wider product range may be more relevant. Conferras is designed for teams prioritizing the event networking layer.

    Yes. Organizers can apply their logo and colors, use a custom subdomain and present the attendee experience under their event brand.

    Conferras is self-serve. Organizers can create the event, apply branding and upload attendees without waiting for a mandatory sales process, while a demo remains available if needed.
