Best alternatives to Hubilo (now Virtual PRO) in 2026
Brandlive acquired Hubilo (Brandlive press release, 16 Sep 2025) and hubilo.com now redirects to Virtual PRO — a platform and production service for virtual events, priced per admin seat per year. Here are the strongest alternatives compared on price, features, and use case — with an honest take on when each one wins.
Why consider alternatives to Hubilo (now Virtual PRO)
Hubilo (now Virtual PRO) has real strengths. It's not the right tool for every job — here's what makes teams shop around.
Your event happens in a room, not on a stream
Virtual PRO describes itself as a platform for virtual events — streaming, an online venue, virtual booths and lounges, and a production crew. An attendee mobile app and check-in at a venue are not described on the pages we read on 2026-10-14. If your attendees arrive in person, you need the front door, the session rooms and an app in their pocket.
Priced per admin seat, per year
Virtual PRO publishes PRO 1 $15,000/year · PRO 4 $50,000/year · PRO 10 $125,000/year · PRO max quote-only. — annual, “based on the number of admins that have access to the platform”, each tier with an audience cap per event. A single annual meeting still buys a year. WebMobi sells one-event passes that do not renew, as well as subscriptions.
Production is a second budget
Run of show support, scripts and slides, pre-recorded segments and full event production are each priced on Virtual PRO’s pricing page, on top of the platform tiers. That is valuable for a broadcast; it is cost you do not need for an in-person meeting.
Where Virtual PRO beats us, and we say so
Virtual PRO streams sessions, produces the event with its own crew, integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo and other marketing systems, and runs attendee networking in its online venue. WebMobi does none of those today; its attendee networking is a private beta. For a virtual or broadcast event, Virtual PRO is the better choice.

Which one should you pick?
The honest answer depends on what you're running. Map your event to a use case below.
In-person conferences and meetings that need an app and a reliable front door
Registration on your own page, an attendee app on iPhone and Android, check-in by QR, by name and for walk-ins — offline in the app — and who attended each session as a file. Built and published by your own team.
Virtual events and broadcasts with production value
HD streaming, captions, an online venue with booths and lounges, CRM integrations, and a production team that can run the show. Priced per admin seat per year, with production on top.
Webinars and hybrid events with an attendee app
RingCentral Events (formerly Hopin) publishes a per-organizer price and lists an attendee app on Google Play and the App Store, with check-in described in its launch press release.
Association meetings that need badges, payments and an app under their own name
EventMobi’s own pages describe registration with payments, check-in, BadgeON badge printing and a Custom Branded App — most as products or add-ons on top of its published starting prices.
Where WebMobi fits
WebMobi Event App Builder is a self-service event app builder that helps conference organizers, associations, agencies and event teams create and launch branded event apps — with registration, check-in (including offline check-in and walk-ins), session attendance, agenda, speakers and exhibitors in one platform. Specifically vs Hubilo (now Virtual PRO):
- Built for in-person events: check-in by QR scan, by name and for walk-ins, at the door and in each session
- An attendee app on iPhone and Android, with your agenda, speakers and exhibitors
- Check-in keeps working offline in the WebMobi app, and every check-in is on the record
- Priced per event or by subscription, with a free plan — not per admin seat per year
- Self-service: create the event, import your programme from spreadsheets and publish it yourself

How much does Virtual PRO cost?
+
Virtual PRO publishes PRO 1 $15,000/year · PRO 4 $50,000/year · PRO 10 $125,000/year · PRO max quote-only. Source: virtualpro.com/pricing, read 2026-10-14.

WebMobi: Free to start, then $19–$99/month. A single event can be bought on its own, $49–$999 per event.
Can Virtual PRO run an in-person conference?
+
Its own pages describe a platform for virtual events: streaming, an online venue with booths and lounges, and production services. An attendee mobile app and check-in at a venue are not described on the pages we read on 2026-10-14 — which is not the same as saying they do not exist, so ask Virtual PRO directly if you need them.
Does WebMobi stream sessions or run virtual events?
+
No. WebMobi runs in-person events: registration, an attendee app on iPhone and Android, and check-in at the door and in each session. Live streaming and hybrid delivery are not in the product today.
When is Virtual PRO the better choice?
+
When the event is a broadcast — a virtual conference, an awards show, a product launch online — and you want streaming, an online venue, CRM integrations and a crew to produce it. Choose WebMobi when your attendees are in the room and you need the app, the front door and the session record.
