Switching triggers
Why organizers look for alternatives to Whova.
Whova is an established, wide-ranging event platform that serves many larger programs well. When organizers begin searching for a Whova alternative, the reasons usually come down to a small set of recurring frictions, and each of them reflects a deliberate design choice in Conferras.
Pricing that stays hidden until you ask
With a quote-based model, budgeting a single conference or comparing vendors quickly becomes difficult. Conferras lists every tier publicly, so the price is clear before you ever speak to anyone.
The friction of an app store install
Making attendees download a native app eats into adoption from day one. Conferras is a zero-download PWA: a single private web link, one tap, and they are straight inside the app.
Weeks lost to a sales-led setup
Onboarding calls and procurement drag smaller and mid-size events out. Conferras is self-serve, with a three-stage wizard that has your event live the same afternoon.
Pricing transparency
Whova pricing overview. What you can see before a call.
Whova does not publish per-event prices on its website. Organizers request a quote, so budgeting usually starts with a sales conversation. Conferras as the Whova alternative takes the opposite approach: every tier is listed publicly, and you pay per event.
- Whova: no public price list, organizers request a quote. Check whova.com for current figures.
- 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 AI matchmaking, 1:1 chat, meetings, agenda, sponsors and stories, so there is no feature gating between tiers.
- No annual contract, no per-attendee fees and no seat licences: recurring organizers and agencies can ask for a custom tier instead.
