Narrowing the Shortlist
An event management suite bundles three jobs: getting people registered, running the event day, and putting the program on attendees’ phones. Most buyers weigh one of them far more than the others. Decide which one is yours before you book demos, then compare platforms on that job first.
If registration is the main job
Compare the forms, ticket types, imports and confirmation emails rather than the brochure. Our comparison of the best event registration software for 2026 scores vendors on what they publish, and the WebMobi event registration platform page shows how registration works on your own event page, with people added by hand or imported from a spreadsheet.
If the event day is the main job
Check-in is where suites differ most and demos show least, so ask to see a scan with the Wi-Fi switched off. The best event check-in apps for 2026 compares vendors capability by capability, and event check-in with WebMobi covers QR scanning, walk-ins, offline check-in in the app and attendance at each session.
If the attendee app is the main job
Decide whether you need a store listing under your own name or your event inside the vendor’s app, and who updates the agenda on the morning it changes. The WebMobi Event App Builder page shows how an organizer builds the event, registration and check-in, then publishes it to the WebMobi app on iPhone and Android.
Before you sign
Two things settle most decisions. The first is the price for your size of event, split into what is included and what is an add-on — what event apps cost, and why explains the pricing models and what drives each one. The second is the same questions, in writing, to every vendor on the shortlist: the event app RFP questions are ready to send.
