Event App Networking Features: 35 Platforms Compared
12 networking and packaging capabilities, read off each vendor's own website. Every cell carries the vendor's words, the page they came from and the date we checked. Where the vendor says nothing, this table says nothing — not “no”.
What this table actually measures
“Networking” is the least comparable word in event software. Every platform in this list claims it, and behind the word sit at least eight separate things a buyer might be paying for: a searchable attendee directory, private 1:1 messaging, algorithmic recommendations of who to meet, a meeting-booking flow, a physical table or room bound to that meeting, an exhibitor lead scanner, exhibitor-to-attendee matching, and whether any of it appears under your own brand in the app stores. A demo shows you one of those and lets you assume the rest.
So we separated them. Each of the 35 platforms below was checked against its own public web properties — product pages, pricing pages, help centres and app-store listings — on 2026-09-08, and each of the 12 capabilities was recorded as included, gated behind a paid tier, absent, or not established. That last state is the point of the exercise: 41 of 420 cells (9.8%) could not be settled from the vendor's own site, and publishing them as “no” would have been the easy, dishonest option.
The result is useful in one specific way: it tells you which questions to put in writing before you sign. If a capability shows as gated here, the vendor has published that it costs extra — ask what it costs. If it shows as not established, the vendor has not said, which is exactly the sentence to send your account executive.
How to read the four states
- Included — Included — documented on the vendor’s own site with no stated plan restriction
- Included. Documented on the vendor's own site, with no plan restriction stated anywhere we could find.
- Add-on — Gated — sold as a paid add-on, a licence or a higher tier
- Paid add-on or higher tier. The vendor publishes that this capability costs extra, sits on a specific licence, or is sold as a separate module. It exists — it is not in the base price.
- Not offered — Not offered — the vendor’s own documentation places the capability outside the product
- Not offered. The vendor's own documentation places the capability outside the product — for example a scanner documented as staff check-in only, or an explicit statement that the app is not white-label.
- — — Not established — not stated on the vendor’s site (checked 2026-09-08). This is not a “no”.
- Not established. Not stated on the vendor's site when we checked it on 2026-09-08. This is not a “no”. The capability may well exist; the vendor has not published it where a buyer can read it, and we will not fill that gap with a guess.
Hover any cell for the vendor's own words and the page they came from. The full quote, source URL and check date for all 12 capabilities are published per vendor in the evidence panels below.
The matrix — 35 platforms, 8 four-state capabilities
Ordered by the count of capabilities the vendor publishes as included, then by the count it publishes as gated, then alphabetically. That is the whole ranking rule — there are no scores, no stars and no reviews on this page, because we hold no review corpus. Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

5 researched vendors are deliberately absent — see methodology. Pricing, packaging and matchmaking-basis columns are prose rather than states and are published in full in the evidence panels.
What 35 vendors' own websites add up to
Every figure in this section is computed from the matrix when the page renders, so it cannot drift from the data above.
11/35
publish no price at all
31% of the market makes you book a call before you can learn a number. 18 publish partially, 6 publish in full.
16/35
gate the white-label app
Against 8 that include it, 9 that do not offer it at all, and 2 not established.
13/35
gate exhibitor lead retrieval
Only 11 include it; 10 do not offer it; 1 not established. The capability your sponsors ask for is the one most often sold separately.
26/35
offer 1:1 meeting scheduling
21 include it and 5 put it behind a higher tier; 8 do not offer it and 1 are not established. Booking a meeting is common — assigning it a room is not, which is the gap the room-assignment column exposes.
27/35
include an attendee directory
Plus 4 gated and 2 not established. Only 2 platforms document no directory at all — this is the baseline, not a differentiator.
The directory is table stakes. The floor is not.
A searchable attendee list is now the price of entry: 27 of 35 include one outright and only 2 document none. Private messaging is almost as universal (26 included). Where the market thins out is everything that touches the venue floor and the sponsor: room or table assignment is included by 10 and simply absent from 13, and exhibitor matchmaking is included by 10 and absent from 13. If your event monetises exhibitors, that is where the shortlist really narrows.
Only 11 of 35 platforms publish all four of the capabilities most buyers mean by “networking” — directory, messaging, matchmaking and meeting booking — as included: Accelevents, Brella, Certain, Inc., Grip, Hivebrite, Jublia (Jublia AI, Jublia Pte Ltd), Stova, Swapcard, vFairs, Whova, Zuddl. A further 9 publish at least one of those four as a paid add-on or a higher tier, which is a materially different quote from the one the demo implies.
Included versus gated is the real comparison
Feature checklists collapse “we have it” and “we sell it to you” into one tick. Split apart, the two columns sold separately most often are white-label app (16 of 35 gated) and exhibitor lead retrieval (13 gated) — which are also the two a buyer is most likely to assume are standard. The white-label app: 8 included, 16 gated, 9 not offered, 2 not established. Exhibitor lead retrieval: 11 included, 13 gated, 10 not offered, 1 not established. In both columns, more vendors charge extra for it than include it.
Mobile is the opposite story and worth stating plainly, because it is often used as a differentiator in sales decks: 31 of 35 ship store-published iOS and Android apps. Having an app is not a differentiator. Whose name is on it, and who owns the store listing, still is.
Segment mix of the 35 platforms, as classified in the dataset: 15 conference, 8 trade show, 8 community, 3 hybrid, 1 virtual. Read a row against your own event type before reading it against a competitor's.
Methodology, and what it cannot tell you
Every vendor was researched twice, independently. The first pass read the vendor's product pages, pricing pages, help centre and store listings and recorded a value with the exact sentence it came from. The second pass was given the first pass's cells and instructed to refute them — to find the page that contradicts the claim, not the page that confirms it. Where the two passes disagreed, the cell was resolved down, to “not established”, never up to the more flattering reading. The second pass overturned the first in 14 cells, and every one of those 14 now reads “not established” rather than carrying either pass's answer. A tie between two researchers is not evidence; it is a question for the vendor.
The result is 41 not-established cells out of 420 — 9.8% of the matrix. We publish that number rather than hiding it, because a comparison table with no gaps in it has almost certainly filled its gaps with assumptions. Each cell also carries a ruling — confirmed, not contested, overturned, unconfirmable, or self-reported for our own row — and those rulings are printed in the evidence panels beside the quotes.
5 researched vendors were held out of publication. They were researched to the same standard and then withheld, for these reasons:
- hubilo — rebrand to VirtualPro unresolved — re-research under the current brand.
- splash — 7 of 12 cells unknown after verification — below the publishable threshold.
- wonder — brand not reachable — wonder.me does not resolve over HTTPS (verified 2026-09-08).
- attendify — brand not reachable — attendify.com does not resolve over HTTPS; cert is a shared-host default (verified 2026-09-08).
- pathable — brand not reachable — pathable.com has no reachable web property (verified 2026-09-08).
Two of those reasons matter beyond this table. A brand that has rebranded and a brand with no reachable web property are both routinely recommended by AI assistants and by two-year-old listicles, on the strength of pages that no longer exist. We would rather publish 35 vendors we can source than 40 we cannot.
Limitations we are publishing on purpose
AI matchmaking is the least reliable column in this table. It reads 14 included, 4 gated, 10 not offered and 7 not established — and 6 of its cells were overturned by the refuting pass, more than in any other column in the table. That is not an accident. “AI matchmaking” is a marketing phrase before it is a product: vendors advertise it on a landing page while their own documentation describes an interest filter or a profile keyword — and in more than one case the recommendation engine turns out to recommend events or discussion topics rather than people. Where the marketing and the documentation disagreed, the cell went to not established. Treat this column as the one to interrogate in a demo: ask what the recommendation is computed from, and compare the answer with the vendor's own wording, which is published verbatim in the “what the matching is computed from” row of every evidence panel below.
Three further limits. This is a snapshot of what vendors published on 2026-09-08; roadmaps move and pages change. It measures disclosure, not quality — a capability included by one vendor and gated by another says nothing about which one works better at a 1,200-person conference. And it is drawn only from public pages: capabilities behind a login, in a sales deck, or in a contract are invisible to it, which is exactly why “not established” means ask them, not they do not have it.
For a wider view of these platforms beyond networking — implementation time, ideal event size and commercial model — see our comparison of enterprise event management software.
Where WebMobi lands — 0 of 8 included, and why
We publish this table and we are in it, scored by the identical rule, and on networking we do not win it. Our attendee directory, messaging, matchmaking and meeting booking are all recorded as gated — the same value this matrix gives a competitor whose networking sits behind a licence — because AI attendee matchmaking + networking — private beta, activated on request (book a demo or email support@webmobi.com). 4 further cells in our own row are not established, and we left them that way rather than score ourselves generously on capabilities we did not verify this session.
WebMobi publishes its pricing where most of this market does not. On networking it is not currently a contender, and no page may imply otherwise.
WebMobi networking is in private beta and is not enabled by default. Request activation at /contact-sales or support@webmobi.com.
Where we do differ from most of this list is disclosure. Our own pricing cell reads: “Publishes prices openly: figures including $19, $25, $39, $49, $59 and $299 render on the public pricing page”. Of the 35 platforms here, 11 publish nothing at all. We would rather tell you on a comparison page that our networking needs switching on than let you find out after you have signed.

Brella is a matchmaking-first conference platform that takes networking all the way to the venue floor — its own help centre documents that physical meeting tables are 'assigned in a first-come-first-serve method, and per networking slot whenever a meeting is accepted' — but it publishes no pricing whatsoever, so every evaluation begins with a sales call rather than a number.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is live and trading under its own name in 2026. www.brella.io resolves and serves a current marketing site with intact Product / Solutions / Resources navigation; the iOS listing is published by "Brella Oy" with version 14.1.0 updated within the last week, and the Android package com.brella is live on Google Play under developer "Brella".

Note: 'Gated networking' is a vendor feature name for restricting networking to attendee groups, not a pricing tier. Lead scanning is switched on by an event-level and group-level admin setting, not a paid tier (help-organizers article 182800: 'To enable any kind of lead scanning for your event, it is important to have Lead scanning enabled at the event level from the Networking tab under settings').

vFairs matches us capability-for-capability on networking - directory, 1:1 DMs, AI matchmaking, meetings, lead capture, native iOS/Android and a store-published branded app are all on their own feature pages - and beats us on managed meeting programmes, where "the system auto-assigns a location based on the location provided by the organizer" (vfairs.com/product-updates/deliver-meetings-vfairs-meeting-management-software/); where they do not compete is transparency: their pricing page publishes no tier and no number, only "No bloated bundles.

Certain will price their check-in product on a public page - $999 for a single event, $300/mo for Starter - but the product that actually carries the attendee directory, messaging, 1:1 meetings and AI matchmaking, Touchpoint, has no published price at all: their pricing page offers only "tailored pricing based on your event portfolio size, feature requirements, and enterprise needs", their own docs confirm lead retrieval is a separate purchase ("If you have purchased the Lead Retrieval package..."), and clients cannot even file their own branded-app submission ("Clients do not have access to request their own app submission in the Touchpoint CMS").
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is LIVE and correctly named "Certain" (Certain, Inc.) at certain.com. No rebrand, acquisition or sunset notice anywhere on the site. Currency confirmed by 2026-dated content on their own properties: the Certain Greet page runs a live self-service promotion ("Certain Greet is now self-service - get started in minutes. Offer ends September 30") and the resources index carries /resources/driving-event-value-2026. Positioning in 2026 is "AI-Powered Event Intelligence" - the product line is Certain Platform, Certain Touchpoint (mobile/engagement), Certain Signal (CRM signal routing), Certain Greet (check-in), Certain Express, and Event Advisor (generative-AI recommendations). Apps are published under the seller "Certain, Inc." in both the Apple App Store (Certain Check-In, GatherNow by Certain, Certain Inc. Events, UBS Conferences) and Google Play (developer "Certain Inc.": com.certain.gd.certainevents, com.app.cci, com.cci.kiosk, com.premierinc.tp.premierincevents). One heritage note, from their own Play listing keywords: the mobile app lineage traces to Gather Digital ("Code: Certain Events, Certain Conferences, Gather Digital") - that is an absorbed product line, not a rename of Certain itself.

No published tier carries networking.

The ONLY published price tiers (Certain Greet: Single Event / Starter / Enterprise) are check-in-and-badging tiers whose stated feature lists contain no networking capability at all. Within Touchpoint, Lead Retrieval is explicitly a purchased add-on package, and attendee-to-attendee messaging is off by default until an organiser enables it. Whether the directory, meetings console or Event Advisor themselves sit behind a higher edition is UNVERIFIED - no page fetched states it.

It publishes no price anywhere — grip.events/pricing is a 404 — so every evaluation starts with a demo booking.

RainFocusconference7 included · 0 gated · 1 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
RainFocus is an enterprise conference platform whose meetings programme is genuinely deep — it manages room inventory, walk-up seats, organiser-assigned meetings 'mapped to hosts and rooms', and meeting impact reporting in Salesforce — but it publishes no price, no tier and no module inclusion list anywhere on its site, telling buyers to 'contact our sales team for a personalized demo and a quote', and it sells networking, meetings, lead retrieval and the mobile app as four separate platform modules with attendee chat itself pitched to organisers as an upsell lever.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is live and correctly named in 2026 — no rename or absorption found. rainfocus.com is active, publishes 2026-dated material (a 2026 B2B Marketing Forecast; "RainFocus Nexus" AI agents debuting at INSIGHT 2026), and RainFocus LLC actively publishes apps to both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Positioned as an enterprise B2B event marketing and management platform; customers named on the homepage include Adobe, Cisco, Oracle, Red Hat, Broadcom and Zscaler.

UNVERIFIED for people-to-people matching — no RainFocus product page I fetched states a basis for recommending WHO to meet; the networking page presents attendee discovery as manual filtering under the heading 'Filters Help Find Like-Minded Contacts'. For CONTENT/exhibitor recommendations the vendor does state a basis: 'AI-generated session recommendations combine profile information and attendee behavior to proactively suggest the perfect topics, speakers, exhibitors, and more' (rainfocus.com/personalized-engagement/), and 'By utilizing attendee demographics, behaviors, historical data, and session ratings, the Recommendations Bot can make suggestions for attendees' (rainfocus.com blog on its machine-learning tool). A RainFocus blog post does describe agents 'matching like-minded individuals who are interested in the same topics, working in the same role, or attending similar sessions', but that passage sits under the heading 'How Teams Are Currently Using AI Agents' and describes agentic AI in the events industry generally rather than a named RainFocus capability, so it is NOT counted here.
“AI-generated session recommendations combine profile information and attendee behavior to proactively suggest the perfect topics, speakers, exhibitors, and more.”https://www.rainfocus.com/personalized-engagement/
NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE — RainFocus publishes no plans, tiers or packages at all, so there is no tier to name. What IS published is module packaging plus an organiser-side gate: networking/chat sits in the Attendee Engagement module, 1:1 meetings in a SEPARATE Meetings Management module, lead retrieval in Sponsor Activation, and the mobile app is a further separate module on rainfocus.com/platform/ — three distinct line items for a networking-led buyer. Chat access is additionally restrictable per ticket package by the organiser. Whether any module is included in a base contract is UNVERIFIED.

Whovaconference6 included · 1 gated · 0 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
Whova is a strong conference-app incumbent — native iOS and Android apps, 1:1 private messaging, profile-based matchmaking on "shared interests, locations, affiliations and education", a meeting scheduler and exhibitor QR lead retrieval — but it publishes no price anywhere (its pricing page is a quote-request form) and states outright that "Whova is not a white-label app", so your event lives inside their shared container app rather than under your own brand in the stores.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and unchanged as of the September 2026 fetch. whova.com resolves and serves current marketing ("All-in-one Event Management Platform for In-Person, Hybrid, and Virtual Events"), with 2026-dated pages (/whova-event-app/ titled "The Best Features for Conference & Event Apps in 2026").

Attendee profile data only, per the vendor: shared interests, location, company affiliation and education/background. Profiles ("SmartProfiles") are pre-populated by Whova and attendees add interests for better matching. The vendor calls it "intelligent matchmaking" / "recommendations"; no vendor page fetched claims behavioural signals, stated meeting intent, or an AI/LLM model as the basis.
“Whova Matchmaking takes attendee's customized profiles and uses them to create matches based on interests, backgrounds, company affiliations, and much more.”https://whova.com/blog/whova-event-matchmaking/
NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE — Whova publishes no plan or tier names on /pricing/ (a quote-request form only), so no networking tier gate can be verified. Two packaging facts ARE published: Meeting Space Reservations is described as an "add-on feature", and MicroEvents is "an add-on to your large event standard package, and cannot be purchased separately" (implying a "standard package" exists, but its contents are never published). Core networking (attendee list, 1:1 messaging, matchmaking, meeting scheduler) is presented as part of the event app with no stated tier gate.
“Please note that this subscription is an add-on to your large event standard package, and cannot be purchased separately.”https://whova.com/blog/whova-launches-microevents-add-on/
NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE — /pricing/ carries only a "Price Quote Request" form (event format, duration, attendee count, annual event frequency) and a 20-minute demo offer. No figure, range, per-attendee rate, or ticketing fee percentage appears on /pricing/, /faq/who-pay-for-whova-how-much-it-cost/, or /event-registration-software/ (which claims a "Lower ticket fee than other popular event registration platforms" without stating any number).

Cadmium (Eventscribe)conference6 included · 0 gated · 1 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
Cadmium's networking is genuine but opt-in and manual by its own documentation — the attendee list contains only those "who have opted in to sharing their profile", new users can take "up to 30 minutes to be discoverable in the Chats system", and an appointment's location is a free-text field the attendee types rather than a room the organiser assigns — and Cadmium publishes no price at all, its /pricing page returning a 404 with every product page routing to a demo or an RFP.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is LIVE and correctly named in 2026. The company is Cadmium (legal entity "Cadmium, LLC."), operating at gocadmium.com; it is the former CadmiumCD, and older assets still carry the CadmiumCD name. The event platform is branded Eventscribe; the wider suite is Eventscribe + EthosCE + Elevate (LMS) + Warpwire (media). Currency confirmed by a fetched Apple App Store listing showing developer "Cadmium, LLC." and Eventscribe version 26.09.01 updated within days of research (2026-09-08).

Acceleventstrade show5 included · 3 gated · 0 not established · publishes partiallyShow evidence
Accelevents publishes only two of its four plan prices — "Starting From $7,500" and "Starting From $13,500" — and its own pricing matrix marks the mobile event app as a paid add-on on every tier including those two, so the app carrying the attendee directory, AI matchmaking and 1:1 meetings is not included at either published number; table and room assignment for booked meetings arrives only with Hosted Buyer, which is blank on both priced plans and an unpriced add-on on Enterprise and White Label.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and trading under its own name in 2026. accelevents.com serves 200s on every page fetched, the site is actively maintained (Fall 2026 blog post on its own domain), and the brand shows no sign of rename or absorption. Homepage positioning quoted verbatim: "Event management software for event professionals who sweat the details". IMPORTANT METHOD NOTE: the /pricing feature matrix renders its included/add-on marks as CSS background-image on empty <h5 class="feature-info"> cells, so two separate WebFetch reads of that page produced two DIFFERENT and both-WRONG tier grids. I discarded both and decoded the matrix deterministically from the vendor's own markup — cell class (.feature-info = included, .feature-info.empty = not included, .feature-info.add-on = add-on) cross-referenced with the per-node grid-area column in accelevents.webflow.shared.6d8f795ac.min.css (col 2=Professional, 3=Business, 4=Enterprise, 5=White Label).

Interest tags, profile interests and in-event activity. Vendor states matching is computed from "tags, interests, and activity" (event app page). For the Hosted Buyer program the vendor states a separate, explicitly preference-driven basis: both sides rate each other perfect match / good match / not a fit, and those ratings are combined with availability and organiser-defined constraints.

"Cross Event Connections" is blank on Professional and included from Business ($13,500) upward. THREE separate upsells sit on top: (1) "Mobile event app" is marked as an add-on ($) on every tier including White Label; (2) "Hosted Buyer with Smart Match Making" — the exhibitor/buyer matching plus room-and-table assignment engine — is blank on Professional and Business and an add-on on Enterprise and White Label; (3) "White Label Mobile App" is an add-on available on the White Label plan only.

“The capability exists: features/exhibitor-center states "AI surfaces the right prospects early, so exhibitors arrive with a warm list, not a blank slate", and features/event-networking states "Give exhibitors access to lead scanning, AI-recommended contacts, and performance tracking so they can prioritize top prospects and convert more leads."

Visible profile fields, attendee interests, job roles, and in-app behaviour (booth visits, session views). Vendor states on features/event-networking: "Swapcard uses visible profile fields, attendee interests, job roles, and in-app behavior (like booth visits or session views) to suggest matches." The platform/artificial-intelligence page adds the AI was "designed from the ground up to understand professional gatherings: profiles, agendas, exhibitor categories, session content, and real-time participant behavior."

Split. On https://www.swapcard.com/pricing-plans the "Event Engagement Platform" ("Starting at* $610 per year") includes "Attendee Networking" and "Sherlock - AI Agent" as checkmarked lines.

Branded App / White Label / Custom Domain sit in a separate "Brand & White Label" advanced-tools band aimed at associations and enterprises. So core attendee-to-attendee networking is in the entry tier; all exhibitor-facing and AI-scheduled networking is an upsell.
“Starting at* $610 per year — *Self-service starting price. Final cost depends on attendee volume and upgrades. Included (checkmark): "Sherlock - AI Agent", "Attendee Networking".

No price is published for any add-on (Exhibitor Networking, Hosted Buyer & Smart Meetings, Exhibitor Lead Center) or for the branded/white-label app. Vendor states volume is "the number of Event Contacts included and consumed during the subscription term, measured as Attendees and/or Exhibitors", billed annually, net-30.

Converve is deliberately browser-only on mobile — their own product page states the event app is 'a web app that runs right in the browser, with no install from the app store' — so where an organiser or sponsor needs a store-listed, own-branded iOS and Android app, WebMobi delivers it and Converve, by their own published design choice, does not; and where Converve's entry plan at €3,400 stops at matchmaking and chat, with meeting requests only from €4,950 and lead capture as a quote-only add-on, WebMobi includes 1:1 meetings and lead retrieval in the published price.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026. Converve (Converve GmbH), a German B2B event matchmaking vendor founded in 2000, based in Barmstedt, Germany. No rename or absorption found. The site is actively maintained: www.converve.com carries a live pricing page with a working attendee-count slider and EUR/USD toggle, and a 2026-dated blog post ("10 Best Event Matchmaking Software Tools for 2026"). Note the site currently serves two URL generations — a newer /platform/* tree and an older /event-platform/* tree — both of which resolve and both of which were fetched for this row. Homepage positioning: "B2B Event Matchmaking You Control" — rule-based, organiser-controlled matching rather than a black-box algorithm.
“An event app bundles program, attendee directory, networking and notifications ... program, attendee directory, networking and push messages, in your brand's look, without a single line of code, updatable live at any time.”https://www.converve.com/platform/website-app
“Chat — Attendees message each other inside the platform.”https://www.converve.com/platform
“Match scores based on interests, goals and categories instantly show every attendee the most relevant contacts, sorted by fit, not by chance.”https://www.converve.com/platform/b2bmatchmaking
“Meeting requests + personal calendar — printed in the 'Match & Meet' plan (from €4,950 net per event) and 'Match & Meet Pro' (from €7,900), and absent from the entry 'Match' plan (from €3,400), whose bullets are 'Intelligent matchmaking / Up to 3 match categories / 1:1 chat between attendees / Dedicated success manager & help desk / 1 admin seat'.

“At Converve it is a web app that runs right in the browser ... a web app that runs right in the browser, with no install from the app store. Every download costs you users.

Interests, goals and categories, drawn from structured attendee profiles carrying offer, need and category data, scored by a named 'MyMatch' algorithm and bounded by an organiser-set 'meeting matrix' that decides which participant categories (e.g. buyer <-> supplier) may meet at all. The vendor positions this explicitly as rule-based and organiser-controlled rather than opaque AI. A separate AI feature exists for agenda building ("'One Click': AI-assisted agenda building"), which is distinct from the who-to-meet scoring.
“Structured attendee profiles with offer, need and categories form the data basis for every match.”https://www.converve.com/platform/b2bmatchmaking
Networking is the base product, not an upsell: 'Intelligent matchmaking' and '1:1 chat between attendees' are in the entry 'Match' plan from €3,400 net per event (1–100 attendee band). The MEETING half is gated: 'Meeting requests + personal calendar', "'One Click': AI-assisted agenda building", '1:1 video meetings (in the browser)' and 'Video speed-networking carousel' start at 'Match & Meet' from €4,950. 'Custom matchmaking logic' and "'One Click+': AI agenda by your own rules" require 'Match & Meet Pro' from €7,900. Match categories are capped at 3 on the entry plan, unlimited from Match & Meet up; admin seats run 1 → 5 → unlimited. Lead capture, on-site check-in scanning and white-labeling sit outside all three plans as add-ons priced on request.

The page carries an interactive attendee slider running from '1–100' up to '2,501–5,000' that re-prices each plan, and a 'Currency Euro | US dollar' toggle. Above that band it is quote-based.

Stova publishes its platform fees openly — Core $1,995, Pro $5,995, Enterprise $12,995 — but the branded mobile app a customer puts in the app stores is not in the entry package: Core buys "DIY Mobile Container App" and "3 Branded Mobile Apps" starts at Pro, three times the Core platform fee (https://stova.io/packages/).
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is LIVE and correctly named in 2026. stova.io resolves to an active vendor site with Products/Solutions/Packages navigation and a homepage claim of being "trusted by 800+ organizations". Stova is itself the post-rename entity referenced in the brief (Aventri became Stova): the vendor still hosts legacy Aventri assets under its own name (developer.aventri.com is titled "Aventri API documentation - Stova") and its Google Play developer account "Stova Group, LLC" still publishes an app titled "Aventri Events" alongside the current "Stova Events App". Mobile apps ship under the legal entity Stova Group, LLC on both the App Store and Google Play. No evidence of retirement or absorption found on any vendor property fetched.

UNVERIFIED — the Core/Pro/Enterprise comparison on the packages page contains no networking, matchmaking, meetings, chat or attendee-directory line item in any tier ('Networking & Attendee Engagement' appears only as a Products nav link), so the tier that gates networking is not stated. What IS stated as gated in the same table: branded/white-label mobile apps (Core = 'DIY Mobile Container App' vs Pro/Enterprise = '3 Branded Mobile Apps') and onsite lead capture (Enterprise = 'Onsite Lead Capture & Lead Retrieval' vs Core/Pro = 'DIY Lead Retrieval').

Zuddl's own pricing page starts at $10,000/year for two organizers and reserves 'conference programs' for its top Unified license, and it publishes the per-tier feature comparison as an image rather than text — so a mid-size organiser cannot confirm from the vendor's site that networking is included in the license they can afford.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Zuddl is live and trading under its own name in September 2026 — homepage, /pricing, support.zuddl.com and docs.zuddl.com are all current and self-consistent. The homepage positions it as "The future of event platforms", an AI-native modular platform for B2B event marketing teams across Conferences, Field Events, Sponsored Events and Webinars. One naming detail worth recording: the fetched Apple App Store listing for "Zuddl Events" (id6450897791) shows the seller as "Joyn Experiences, Inc.", not "Zuddl, Inc." — the consumer-facing brand is Zuddl but the store-of-record legal entity differs.

Glue Up is an association management suite that added networking, not a networking platform — its own pricing page puts Community ('Public and private groups / Direct messaging / Engagement analytics') and 'Custom Branded My Glue' in a paid POWER-UPS section outside the $3,000–$6,500/Yr Essential plan, and its own event page calls speed networking an 'add-on', so an organiser buying Glue Up for attendee matchmaking and 1:1 meetings is buying above the base plan at a price the vendor does not publish — with no trial available ('Can I try Glue Up before committing to a paid plan? Not at the moment').
Brand check (2026-09-08): Glue Up is live and correctly named in 2026. Its own site carries "July 2026 Product Updates — Donor management and automated chapter rebate payments", the My Glue app was updated Aug 27 2026 on Google Play, and the pricing page advertises "Introducing more flexible pricing plans". Note two identity facts from vendor properties: the Apple App Store seller is still "EventBank (EventBK Limited)" and the Play package id is com.eventbank.android.attendee — the Play listing itself says "About Glue Up Formerly EventBank". So Glue Up is the current brand and EventBank is the retired predecessor name, still visible in store metadata. Positioning is "All-in-one Association Management Software", not a trade-show platform. IMPORTANT SOURCING NOTE: www.glueup.com returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch; every glueup.com page below was fetched with curl and read in full. Also flagged — Glue Up's blog runs competitor listicles (e.g. /blog/how-pick-best-mobile-event-apps), where "Exhibitor Lead Retrieval", "AI-Powered Matchmaking" and "White Label Customization" describe BigMarker and Brella, NOT Glue Up. Those lines were deliberately excluded; nothing in this row is sourced from them.

Vendor states three inputs.

(2) Organiser-set weightings: 'Toggle "AI Matching Criteria" and select weightings (job function 50 %, chapter 30 %, survey answers 20 %); the platform auto-assigns tables and sets an optional 10-minute auto-rotate timer.'

Networking is sold outside the base plan.

Community (the module carrying 'Public and private groups / Direct messaging / Engagement analytics') and 'Custom Branded My Glue' + SSO are both listed as paid 'POWER-UPS' on the pricing page, and the event page calls speed networking an 'add-on' ('add-ons like speed networking'). In-event 1-on-1 chat and the Event Room ship with the My Glue app, which 'comes with every Glue Up solution'.

Hivebritecommunity4 included · 1 gated · 0 not established · publishes partiallyShow evidence
Hivebrite is a year-round community platform that happens to run events — its own homepage calls it 'The community platform built for impact' and its complete feature index lists event check-in but no lead retrieval, badge scanning, exhibitor or sponsor capability — so if your revenue comes from exhibitors, that half of the event isn't in the product; and the mobile app your attendees would use is a paid Extension on top of the $895/mo entry plan, with no published price.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and trading as Hivebrite in 2026, but the primary domain has MOVED: https://hivebrite.com/ now issues a 307 redirect to https://hivebrite.io/, and https://www.hivebrite.com/ returns 404. All current product content is served from hivebrite.io. Positioning is a COMMUNITY platform, not an event platform — the homepage headline is "The community platform built for impact" and the sector pages are associations, nonprofits, alumni and commercial communities. Events are one feature inside that platform. "Orbiit" appears as a first-party Hivebrite feature page (/features/orbiit/ and /orbiit/) providing AI Matching; I found no vendor page describing its corporate history, so no claim is made about that.
“Members can search using keywords and filters such as 'role, organization, interests, skills, or location', with 'list and map views'; the feature index describes Member Directory as 'Members connect using powerful search, smart filters, and rich profiles turning your community into a connected network.' Note: this is a community-wide MEMBER directory; no vendor page I fetched describes an event-scoped attendee list.”https://hivebrite.io/features/member-directory/
“Direct Messaging - Real relationships start with real conversations. Enable 1:1 and group chats to kickstart connections.”https://hivebrite.io/features/
“AI Matching: Spark valuable connections by intelligently matching members based on shared interests, goals, and expertise.”https://hivebrite.io/product-overview/
“Members receive their calendar invite and personal video link to connect. Note: this is algorithm-driven 1:1 intro scheduling in matching rounds (the tool 'handles all communication, matching, scheduling, feedback collection, and analytics') plus 'Branded encrypted video chat' — I found no vendor page describing free-form attendee-initiated 'book a meeting with this person' slot booking.”https://hivebrite.io/orbiit/
“The complete published feature index (Build / Launch / Engage / Grow / Optimize, ~30 features reproduced in full) contains no table, room, booth or slot assignment item. The only scheduled-meeting construct on the vendor's site is Orbiit's 'personal video link', i.e. virtual, not a physical space.”https://hivebrite.io/features/
“Events - Host virtual or in-person events, with RSVPs, reminders, check-in, and follow-up built in. The full feature index lists check-in but no badge scanning, QR scanning, lead capture or lead retrieval feature anywhere; /product-overview/ and /association-management-membership-software/ likewise list none.”https://hivebrite.io/features/
“The complete published feature index contains no exhibitor or sponsor feature of any kind — the Engage and Grow sections cover AI Matching, People Recommendations, Member Directory, Events, Forums, Jobs & Opportunities, Groups, Memberships, Donations. /product-overview/ also lists no exhibitor capability.”https://hivebrite.io/features/
“The pricing page lists 'Mobile App' under add-on Extensions (alongside Multi-Language, Connectors and Mentoring) rather than inside Core, Flex, Prime or Custom Fit. The app itself is white-label per https://hivebrite.io/features/mobile-app/: 'The Hivebrite mobile app is only available as a white-label product. Members open your app, not ours. ... You control the icon, splash screen, and color scheme.'”https://hivebrite.io/pricing/
both
“Our team handles the technical steps for iOS and Android submission. ... Many community apps are built on web views. Ours isn't. Native architecture means content loads in roughly one second.”https://hivebrite.io/features/mobile-app/
Vendor states matching is computed from 'shared interests, goals, and expertise' (/product-overview/), and that the organiser configures the inputs: members 'Pick matching criteria' and the admin can 'Design your matching form with custom questions specific to your goals' (/orbiit/). A separate 'People Recommendations' feature is described only as 'personalized, intelligent suggestions' with no stated basis. No vendor page I fetched claims behavioural or intent signals.
“intelligently matching members based on shared interests, goals, and expertise”https://hivebrite.io/product-overview/
Core-tier: the entry plan Core (starting at $895/mo, billed annually) is 'Your full community operating system from day one' and the vendor summarises Core as including directory, events, memberships, connections and monetization — so member directory, direct messaging, events and AI Matching are not tier-gated per the pricing page. What IS gated: the mobile app (where attendees network on-site) is a paid Extension on top of any tier, as is Mentoring; group management moves up to Flex ($1,995/mo) and autonomous sub-communities and governance to Prime.
“Core — Starting at: $895/mo (billed annually) — 'For new communities', 'Your full community operating system from day one.' All plans include: 'Unlimited users Email campaigns Automations & AI Hands-on onboarding'”https://hivebrite.io/pricing/

10times (Ten Times Online Private Limited)trade show4 included · 0 gated · 3 not established · publishes fullyShow evidence
10times is an event-discovery marketplace that sells organizers reach, not an event-app suite: its six published products are Pro Listing, Spotlight, BrandBoost, Invites, Prospector and LeadFlow, its own summary of them is "Make Your Event Discoverable - Reach new audience, prove credibility and make your event show up", and networking appears as a single ticked line item called "Networking" under "Advanced Platform Features" in the plan table rather than as a product - so on show day an organizer buying 10times is buying attendance, and still has no documented exhibitor lead-scanning and only an Apple-side branded app whose developer account they must fund and own.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and trading under the same name in 2026. The 10times.com public site is behind a Cloudflare bot-challenge that returns 403 to every automated fetch (WebFetch and curl alike), but three of the vendor's own properties are reachable and current: help.10times.com (Freshdesk help centre, articles modified 24 Mar, 9 Apr and 23 Apr of the current year), login.10times.com (the organizer product + pricing site, carrying 2026-era products Prospector, LeadFlow, Invites), and both app-store listings. Corporate entity on the App Store listing is still "Ten Times Online Private Limited". SCOPE NOTE for the merge: 10times is not a conventional event-app vendor. Its organizer-facing product line is event marketing and discoverability (Pro Listing, Spotlight, BrandBoost, Invites, Prospector, LeadFlow) sold on top of a 50M-user event-discovery marketplace; networking is a feature of that marketplace and its consumer app, not a separately sold event-app platform. Comparison to a Whova/Cvent-style app suite is only partly like-for-like.

Split. Attendee-to-attendee networking is free on the marketplace and consumer app. Organizer-side "Networking" is a row under "Advanced Platform Features" in the published plan-comparison table, ticked on all three paid tiers shown — Pro (from $100/mo), Spotlight/Gold ($800/mo) and BrandBoost/Platinum ($1,600/mo); the table has no Free column, so it is not a vendor statement that Free lacks it. What the vendor does explicitly gate is lead contact details. The white-label Event App is documented only inside the "Organizers Premium" help folder and appears nowhere on the pricing page, so its tier is undisclosed.

Braindate (by e180)conference4 included · 0 gated · 2 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
Braindate is a peer-learning conversation layer that sits on top of your event platform, not in place of it — its own FAQ says "It's not a replacement for your event management platform. It's the layer purpose-built for human connection" and "Braindate doesn't manage the logistics of your event" — so a buyer who also needs registration, badge-scan lead retrieval and a branded native iOS/Android app is buying a second product alongside it, and cannot see what either costs because Braindate publishes no pricing at all.
Brand check (2026-09-08): LIVE and correctly named in 2026. braindate.com is the active product site (sitemap.xml regenerated 2026-09-08); the FAQ cites "a place among the Top 50 Best Canadian Software Companies in 2026", confirming current-year maintenance. The product is Braindate, made by Montreal company e180 — e180.co still resolves as the corporate site but its content is stale (announcements dated 2020-2021), so braindate.com is the authoritative property. One caveat for anyone re-running this: search engines still index https://www.braindate.com/pricing/ with the title "Braindate Pricing - A Solution To Fit Every Need", but that URL now returns HTTP 404 and no pricing page appears in the current page-sitemap.xml — the pricing page has been REMOVED. Any price attributed to Braindate today is therefore not sourceable from the vendor. Braindate positions itself explicitly as a layer on top of an event platform, not an event platform: "It's not a replacement for your event management platform. It's the layer purpose-built for human connection."
“When browsing for people, the list displays all users who have logged into Braindate/opted into our Terms & Conditions.

EventMobi publishes entry pricing openly — 'Per Event Pricing starts at $3000 per event' and 'Per Year Pricing starts at $8,900 per year' — and ships a genuinely strong community layer (group discussions, moderated activity feed, private 1:1 chat, appointment booking), but its own networking page lists no AI or algorithmic matchmaking, its meeting requests carry only a free-text 'Suggested meeting location' with no assigned tables or slot management, lead retrieval is a $50-per-licence add-on, and an own-branded store app is a 4-8 week add-on because the shipped app 'is branded to EventMobi and we are also shown as the app's developer in each app store'.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is live and correctly named in 2026. www.eventmobi.com resolves and serves a current site (homepage title "Best Event Management Software 2026 | EventMobi"), with an active pricing page, an active knowledge base at help.eventmobi.com, and current App Store / Google Play listings published under the developer name "EventMobi". No rename, merger or absorption found. Two notes for future crawls: the legacy support portal support.eventmobi.com is DEAD (DNS ENOTFOUND) — documentation migrated to help.eventmobi.com — and the old /product/features/ URL 301s to /why-eventmobi/. Positioned for associations, nonprofits, corporations and agencies running conferences and training events. Company AI product is branded "MobiAI".

“OBSERVATION OF ABSENCE ON THE VENDOR'S OWN DEDICATED NETWORKING PAGE, which enumerates its complete networking feature set: "Engage your attendees and members with: Customizable Personal Profiles, Group Discussions, Appointment Booking, Private 1:1 Chat, Live Session Chat, Activity Feed, Tweet From Sessions, Moderation for Group Discussions & Activity Feed, Track Engagement With Usage Reports." No AI, algorithmic, recommendation or matchmaking feature appears. Corroborated on three further vendor pages read: https://www.eventmobi.com/appointment-booking/ (no matchmaking or recommendation language); https://www.eventmobi.com/why-eventmobi/ (full product feature list, no matchmaking entry); and https://www.eventmobi.com/event-apps/ where the connection mechanic is attendee-initiated rather than recommended: "If attendees want to connect, they can request a meeting right from within a profile!"

“OBSERVATION ON THE VENDOR'S OWN APPOINTMENT-BOOKING HELP ARTICLE. It enumerates the fields on a meeting request as "Meeting Title", "Date and Time", "Suggested meeting location" and "any additional notes" — a free-text location suggested by the requesting attendee. No organizer-managed inventory of tables, rooms or meeting slots, and no assignment of one to a booked meeting, is described there or on the marketing page https://www.eventmobi.com/appointment-booking/, which likewise puts the choice with the attendee: "attendees can book a one on one meeting at a specific location with each other, exhibitors, or sponsors". The same help article also states there is no slot or conflict management: attendees "are free to book appointments at their convenience without restrictions". A meeting therefore carries a location string, but nothing assigns a physical space.”https://help.eventmobi.com/en/knowledge/how-can-i-use-appointment-booking-for-my-event
“Reads the attendee's QR code tied to their registration profile ... Scan a badge and watch attendee data populate in the app instantly ... Exhibitors view and export their own leads instantly, no waiting on a report. GATED because the same page prices it as a separate purchase: "EventMobi's Lead Capture is an add-on to your package"; "EventMobi's Lead Capture solution is sold in packs of 10 company licenses"; "Priced at USD $50/license, planners typically resell at 10x or more"; "One license per exhibiting company, unlimited booth staff".”https://www.eventmobi.com/event-lead-capture/
“OBSERVATION ACROSS FOUR VENDOR PAGES READ. The dedicated exhibitor page describes only post-scan lead qualification, not pre-event matching of exhibitors to relevant attendees: "Surface attendees who attended a relevant session, which no AI scanner can see" and "Flag any registration field, like job title or session attendance, for automatic export" — both operate on leads an exhibitor has already scanned. The networking page names exhibitors only as participants in attendee-initiated booking ("Appointment Booking helps build more meaningful and robust relationships between attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors", https://www.eventmobi.com/networking/), with no matching. The knowledge base's exhibitor section (https://help.eventmobi.com/en/knowledge/sponsors-exhibitors) contains only "Webinar On-Demand: How to Setup and Collect Leads Onsite", "I am an Exhibitor: How to use Lead Capture at Events", "Lead Capture App Login Support" and "I'm a Company Admin: How To Use the Company Portal" — no matching article. https://www.eventmobi.com/why-eventmobi/ lists no matchmaking product.”https://www.eventmobi.com/event-lead-capture/

The help centre adds: "The EventMobi Universal App is instead installed via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store."”https://www.eventmobi.com/event-apps/
No matchmaking basis is stated on any vendor property, because no matchmaking or recommendation engine is described. The networking page frames discovery as manual and profile-driven ("Customizable Personal Profiles"; content-rich bios with custom fields), and the help centre describes discovery as browsing/searching the attendee list and clicking "Schedule a Meeting" on a profile. Profiles therefore exist as matchable data, but the vendor states no algorithm consuming them.
“Make it Easier for Your Attendees to Share: Let your community share content-rich bios with attachments, links, and custom fields to make their profiles really unique.”https://www.eventmobi.com/networking/
No named tiers are published anywhere on the vendor's site — EventMobi sells by product selection and attendee count, not by named plan. Pricing page: "EventMobi pricing is based on: The number of attendees, selected products and features, and whether you choose PerEvent or Per Year pricing option", with selectable products named as "Registration, Badge Printing, Check-In, Event App, Lead Capture, and Virtual Event capabilities". Networking is not separately priced on that page; it sits inside the Event App, and the help centre states it is on by default: "By default, Private Chat and Appointment Booking are enabled for all attendees when a new event is created" (https://help.eventmobi.com/en/knowledge/how-can-i-use-appointment-booking-for-my-event). The networking-adjacent capabilities that ARE explicitly add-ons are Lead Capture and the Custom Branded App.

Webex Events (formerly Socio)conference3 included · 2 gated · 0 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
Webex Events gives attendees a solid manual networking toolkit — a filterable attendee list, direct and group chat, and accept/reject 1:1 meeting requests that land in My Agenda — but nothing on their own networking, features or knowledge-base pages recommends who an attendee should actually meet, and their pricing page publishes no tiers or numbers at all, stating only that 'Webex Events is available as a part of Webex Suite Enterprise Agreements (Suite EA)'.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026. socio.events resolves to an active site that self-describes as "Webex Events (formerly Socio)" — the Socio brand was absorbed into Cisco's Webex brand but socio.events remains the primary marketing domain and help.socio.events the knowledge base. The iOS app is still published by "Socio Labs Inc." under the name "Webex Events App (Socio)". Important commercial change confirmed on their own pricing page: the product is now routed through Cisco's enterprise motion — "Webex Events is available as a part of Webex Suite Enterprise Agreements (Suite EA)". Cisco-hosted webex.com product pages returned 403 to fetching, so all findings here come from socio.events, help.socio.events and the App Store listing.

No algorithmic matching basis is stated anywhere. Their dedicated networking page, the features page, the attendee-networking KB article and the meeting-scheduling feature page all describe discovery as attendee-driven rather than computed: manual filtering of the attendee list by shared interests, and 'Shake & Connect' physical proximity (phones shaken within ~5 minutes of each other). Their AI investment is in live-stream captions/translation and an accessibility overlay, not in matchmaking.
“Filter the attendee list to connect and network with others who share interests or to set up meetings.”https://socio.events/features
No published plan tiers exist. The entire product — networking included — is routed through Webex Suite Enterprise Agreements and a Contact Sales motion. Core networking (Attendee List, Attendee Profiles, Attendee Chat, Meeting Scheduling) is presented as standard Event App functionality rather than a named upsell, but because no tier table is published this cannot be confirmed as included at any specific level. Two adjacent capabilities ARE explicitly gated: the Branded App is tied to Webex Suite Enterprise, and Lead Retrieval requires separately purchased per-booth-team licenses.

Mighty Networks is a paid-community platform where events are RSVP gatherings inside a community, not an event-operations system: its own host documentation index contains no pages for tickets, check-in, badge scanning, exhibitors, sponsors or 1:1 meeting booking, and its member matching (People Explorer) is by their own words "influenced by factors like who someone follows and who they've engaged with through reactions and comments on similar posts" — community behaviour, not who an attendee came to meet.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026. mightynetworks.com resolves and is actively maintained (docs updated with a Headless GraphQL API and an MCP capability area). Self-described on the homepage as "The Community Platform That Delivers" selling "Community. Courses. Events." No rename, acquisition or absorption found on any vendor property. Important framing caveat: this is a paid-creator-community platform where events are a feature inside a community, NOT a trade-show/conference event-management platform — its 181-page host documentation index contains no pages for tickets, check-in, badges, exhibitors, sponsors or booths.

RingCentral Events (formerly Hopin)hybrid3 included · 1 gated · 2 not established · publishes fullyShow evidence
RingCentral Events is a virtual-venue platform that grew out of Hopin — its own site still says "RingCentral Events Formerly Hopin Events" — and it is strongest at streamed and hybrid experiences, where its networking is explicitly random rather than matched: the vendor describes "a speed networking option to meet random attendees 1:1". For a trade show, note that its base $99/organizer/month Events Pro plan is marked "Webinars & virtual events ONLY" and lead retrieval is withheld until Events Enterprise at $299/organizer/month, while its attendee app is a shared container — "access multiple events that are hosted by RingCentral Events - all within one app" — not an own-branded app in the stores.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026. The product homepage carries the explicit strapline "RingCentral Events Formerly Hopin Events", and hopin.com now serves a single page reading "Hopin is now RingCentral Events", pointing to RingCentral. The Hopin lineage is still visible in the plumbing: the Android package id is still to.hopin.android and the vendor's own app marketplace at apps.events.ringcentral.com is footered "Powered by Hopin". Sold as four plans (Events Free Trial, Events Pro, Events Pro+, Events Enterprise). IMPORTANT SOURCING CAVEAT: the vendor's entire help centre (events-support.ringcentral.com) is currently unreachable — it returns Cloudflare Error 1034 "Edge IP Restricted" (an origin DNS misconfiguration on the vendor's side, not a block on this crawler), and it also fails via the Zendesk help_center API. Their /guides/events/* library is retired (HTTP 410 Gone). Those two properties hold nearly all of the detailed networking documentation, so several capabilities below are honestly UNVERIFIED rather than denied.

Random pairing plus attendee-driven search. The only mechanism stated on any reachable vendor page is that Speed Networking pairs you with "random attendees 1:1", alongside a Network area to "find other attendees" and a mobile "list of attendees and exhibitors" you browse yourself. NO profile-, interest-, intent- or behaviour-based basis is stated anywhere reachable. Caveat: the help-centre articles that would settle this ("Setting up Networking area", "Speed Networking FAQs") are unreachable — Cloudflare Error 1034.

NOT gated — networking is included from the entry paid plan. The virtual venue containing networking is listed on Events Pro ($99/organizer/month annual) and every tier above it. What IS gated is the surrounding trade-show machinery: onsite features (floor plan upload, check-in areas & access control, kiosk self check-in, badge printing & designer, signatures), SSO and the 40+ engagement apps all require Events Pro+ ($199); lead retrieval, custom domains, content hubs and public APIs require Events Enterprise ($299).

Bevycommunity3 included · 0 gated · 0 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
Bevy is a community engagement platform for chapter and user-group programmes - by its own documentation, in-event networking means drop-in "networking tables" and in-event DMs inside Bevy Virtual Conference, which its pricing page lists as a Step 3 add-on; "lead retrieval", "lead capture" and "exhibitor" appear nowhere in its 346-article help centre, no 1:1 meeting booking is documented, and its only app in the stores is the shared organiser-side "Bevy Organizer" check-in app. Salesperson caveat: Bevy does market an "Intros Agent - Smart 1:1 member matching that builds relationships at scale" on its Engagement Hub page, so never claim they have no matchmaking; the defensible line is that they publish no basis for it and no documentation of it, while their documented in-event pairing (breakout rooms) is explicitly random.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026. bevy.com resolves to Bevy, self-described as a "Community Engagement Platform" (homepage) and titled "Enterprise AI Community Engagement Platform | Bevy". Store apps are published by "Bevy Labs, Inc." (Apple App Store) and "Bevy, Inc." (Google Play). The help centre is actively maintained (articles updated August 2026) and a "2026 Release Note" is published. Bevy also owns/operates CMX (cmxhub.com), linked from its own navigation. No rename, retirement or absorption found on any vendor property. Note the positioning: Bevy sells a community platform (chapters, user groups, forums) with events inside it, not a trade-show event-tech suite.

UNVERIFIED - the Engagement Hub page states only "Smart 1:1 member matching that builds relationships at scale" and names no inputs (no mention of profile, interests, intent or behaviour). "Matchmaking" appears zero times across the 346 articles in Bevy's own help centre and the Intros Agent has no help-centre documentation, so the computation basis cannot be confirmed from any vendor page.

No named tiers and no prices are published.

"Bevy Virtual Conference" - the product containing networking tables and sponsor booths - is listed as a Step 3 add-on, so conference networking is an upsell rather than base-platform inclusion.

Swoogo is a registration-and-logistics platform with genuine self-directed networking — a browsable attendee library, chat and 1:1 or small-group meetings that it hosts on its own virtual links — but on its own partner pages it hands AI-driven matchmaking to Brella and lead retrieval to ATS, so an exhibitor-led trade show needs three vendors where WebMobi ships matchmaking and lead capture in the product.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and trading as "Swoogo" in 2026 — no rename or absorption found. One change worth recording: the primary domain moved. https://www.swoogo.com/ now 302-redirects to https://swoogo.events/, and https://get.swoogo.com/ 301-redirects to the same host, so swoogo.events is the current canonical marketing site. Corporate identity confirmed independently as "Swoogo LLC" on the Apple App Store listing for its Go Attend app (id6738286460). Customer event microsites still run on *.swoogo.com subdomains (e.g. energyconferencenetwork.swoogo.com). IMPORTANT SOURCING NOTE: those customer subdomains surface heavily in search for "Swoogo matchmaking", but their content is authored by event organisers and mostly describes Brella, a third-party tool — none of it was used as a vendor claim in this row.
“Create a browsable attendee library with open meeting slots, and the ability to instantly spin up 1:1 (or small group) meetings, all within the Event Hub.”https://swoogo.events/event-hub/
“With Connect + Chat (beta), attendees can explore the attendee directory, request to connect, and start conversations right in the app.”https://swoogo.events/mobile/go-attend/
“Swoogo's own partner page attributes "AI-driven matchmaking" to Brella, a third party, not to Swoogo: "Brella is a complete mobile offering" whose guests "can match with other attendees, set up meetings, share updates, and stay informed." No AI or algorithmic who-to-meet recommendation appears on Swoogo's own Event Hub, Platform, Go Attend or Product Updates pages.”https://swoogo.events/partner/brella/
“Network via 1:1 meetings — listed in the "What's included" features table; the page also lists "1:1 and one-to-many meetings". Corroborated on the Event Hub page: "the ability to instantly spin up 1:1 (or small group) meetings, all within the Event Hub."”https://swoogo.events/pricing/
“With Swoogo, 1:1 meetings happen directly from the event hub, and every time a 1:1 meeting is created (by anyone) the system spins us a Swoogo Virtual link for them to meet at. — Booked meetings resolve to a hosted virtual link, not a physical table, room or slot. No physical meeting-space assignment was found on the Event Hub, Event Logistics or Go Onsite pages.”https://swoogo.events/blog/the-complete-virtual-events-glossary/
“If you're offering lead retrieval at your event, sponsor data (or, really, any data you want) can be pushed from Swoogo to ATS with ease. — Swoogo positions lead retrieval as its partner ATS's system ("With ATS's user-friendly lead retrieval system...") and its own role as pushing data to it. Swoogo's own scanning app, Go Onsite, scans "using the attendee's name or QR code" for check-in only (https://swoogo.events/mobile/go-onsite/), with no exhibitor lead capture.”https://swoogo.events/partner/american-tradeshow-services/
“Make sponsor content broadly viewable, or narrowly target who sees it. Track which attendees visit their booth or page, and offer 1:1 meetings to interested parties. — This is manual targeting plus booth-visit tracking, then an exhibitor-initiated meeting offer. No matching of exhibitors to relevant attendees is described on Swoogo's own exhibitor/sponsor page.”https://swoogo.events/event-logistics/
“Put your event front and center with a fully branded app. ... Our Professional Services team handles app store submission and setup, so your icon, sign-in screen, and listing go live under your name.”https://swoogo.events/mobile/

“Go Attend, Swoogo's native event app, is your attendees' all-in-one event companion. — Both store listings confirmed directly: Apple App Store "Swoogo: Go Attend", seller Swoogo LLC, id6738286460, v1.22.0; and the Google Play developer page for "Swoogo", which lists Go Attend, Swoogo: Go Onsite and Attendee Mobile.”https://swoogo.events/mobile/go-attend/
Swoogo states no basis for any native matching, because no native matching was found. The only matching basis published on a Swoogo-owned page is attributed to its partner Brella, described as "intent-based matchmaking" for sponsors to "engage and meet with the right attendees" (https://swoogo.events/partner/brella/). Swoogo's own networking is self-directed: attendees browse a directory and book meetings themselves.

Core networking is included, the mobile surface of it is not. The browsable attendee library, chat and "Network via 1:1 meetings" / "1:1 and one-to-many meetings" sit in the "What's included" features table reachable from the Professional plan at USD $11,800/year. But the mobile event app that carries in-app Connect + Chat — Go Attend — is listed under "Premium Upgrades" as a paid add-on ("Mobile event app that delivers every detail your attendees need, from agendas to alerts"), with no published price. Connect + Chat is itself labelled "(beta)". Go Onsite Pro, Single Sign On, Sub-accounts and Call for Speakers are also Premium Upgrades.

Luma is a community-events and consumer-discovery platform — its own homepage frames it around run clubs, launch parties and firework shows — and it is genuinely strong at social connection (public profiles, platform-wide DMs, auto-populated event chat, all free); but for a trade show or a sponsored conference its own help centre documents no matchmaking, no 1:1 meeting booking, no exhibitor or sponsor entity, and a QR scanner that is host check-in only, so exhibitor lead capture has to be bought outside the platform.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and trading in 2026, but the brand HAS MOVED DOMAIN: https://lu.ma and https://lu.ma/pricing both return 301 Moved Permanently to https://luma.com/ and https://luma.com/pricing.

Any stored reference to lu.ma should be updated to luma.com. CAUTION when searching: luma.com/<slug> URLs are user-generated EVENT LISTINGS, not vendor product pages — searches for "Luma matchmaking" surface third-party events (speed-networking mixers, "Matchmaking Ticket", Boardy/CoffeeSpace AI-matching partners) that are organiser-run activities hosted ON Luma, NOT Luma product features.

Eventzilla publishes its pricing openly and does ship real networking — their iOS release notes describe "Smart Matching: Connect with attendees based on shared interests and profile keywords" and "Meeting Requests: Suggest a specific meeting time directly from the app" — but on their own pricing page "One-on-one messaging between attendees" is an add-on on the Plus plan and is included only from the Custom plan at $1,999/year, so the networking a buyer assumes is in the box is a paid upgrade on every self-serve tier.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and independently branded as of September 2026 — no rename, acquisition or absorption observed. www.eventzilla.net serves an active site positioning the product as an "All-in-One Event Management Platform", with a current pricing page (Basic/Pro/Plus/Custom) and a separately marketed Agency Plan. The iOS app "Eventzilla" (id1437123810) is published by "Eventzilla Corporation" and carries recent version notes (through v7.9), confirming the vendor entity is still trading under its own name. Caveat: their support/help centre (support.eventzilla.net) 302-redirects to an Eventzilla "notfound" page and sitemap.xml is largely empty, so no documentation-level verification was possible — several fields below are UNVERIFIED as a direct result.

Sched is a scheduling-and-professional-development platform whose networking stops at discovery and chat: their own AI page lists "Intelligent attendee matching" under "Upcoming AI enhancements" with an "I'm interested" button rather than as a shipped feature, and no Sched page describes 1:1 meeting booking — so if your delegates need to be told who to meet and then book that meeting, Sched leaves that work to them.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is live and unchanged in 2026. sched.com carries the copyright notice "© 2026. SCHED LLC" and positions itself as "One platform for conferences, professional development, and complex events". No rename, merger, or absorption found. Current plan names are Launch / Boost / Ultra / Enterprise. SOURCING CAVEAT 1: the plan prices on sched.com/pricing are JavaScript-injected and render as empty placeholders ("Starting at from $ $ /mo", "from $ /event") in the fetched page text across three separate fetches, so no current tier price could be read from a page. A search snippet suggested Launch $599 / Boost $1,499 / Ultra $3,899 — that was NOT confirmed by any page fetch and is deliberately EXCLUDED from publishedPrice. SOURCING CAVEAT 2: two separate fetches of the pricing comparison table returned CONTRADICTORY tier assignments for the same rows (directory Launch vs Boost; chat Boost vs Ultra; lead retrieval Ultra vs Boost), so every tier fact recorded here is taken from prose in Sched's guide pages, never from that table.
“Displaying an attendee directory on your Sched event will help participants view other attendee profiles.”https://sched.com/guide/attendee-networking/
“Sched has chat functionality that allows for 1-on-1 and group chat between attendees/speakers/sponsors... This feature requires the Boost or Ultra Plans.”https://sched.com/guide/attendee-networking/
“"Intelligent attendee matching" appears on Sched's AI page inside the "Upcoming AI enhancements" section, offered with an "I'm interested" button rather than as a shipped feature. Its description reads: "Say goodbye to awkward icebreakers. Sched sifts through attendee interests to create connections that are not just meaningful. They're unforgettable." The AI actually shipped on this page is content generation ("Auto-generate persuasive content across your event"), tone adjustment, and a chatbot that "handles basic queries".”https://sched.com/ai-event-planner/
“This page enumerates Sched's attendee networking stack in full and lists only: "Attendees can customize their event profiles with photos, bios, and social media links", "Boost participant networking with direct messaging, group chats, message boards and event channels", and "Attendees can discover new connections with the attendee directory". No 1:1 meeting booking, availability window, or meeting-request capability appears here, in the pricing comparison, on sched.com/conference-planning-app/, or in the support knowledge base. CONFLICTING EVIDENCE, deliberately not counted: a customer event page at eoss24.sched.com (Linux Foundation, hosted on a sched.com subdomain but authored by the event organiser about "the EOSS Event app") says "Get matched with like-minded attendees, schedule 1:1 meetings in our dedicated networking area". That is customer copy about one event's own app, not a Sched product claim, and it contradicts Sched's own AI page which lists attendee matching as unbuilt.”https://sched.com/personalized-attendee-experience
“Sched's room scheduling is session-to-room only — "Assign rooms to sessions", "Link sessions to specific venues/rooms", "View session locations at a glance", "Filter sessions by room". Nothing assigns a room, table or slot to a booked attendee-to-attendee meeting, consistent with there being no meeting booking to assign.”https://sched.com/room-scheduling/
“"This feature allows sponsors and exhibitors to collect contact information (such as email addresses) from scanned attendees." Exhibitors then "Click Download Contact List to export contacts". The vendor's feature page adds "Instantly connect attendees and exhibitors with a QR scan" and "Exhibitors capture leads effortlessly and access contact details for post-event engagement" (https://sched.com/features/lead-retrieval-software). Recorded as GATED because the pricing row "Lead Retrieval (i.e. Email, Phone & Contact Info)" was absent from the entry Launch plan in both reads of the comparison table; the exact qualifying tier (Boost vs Ultra) could NOT be pinned because the two reads disagreed.”https://sched.com/guide/qr-code-scanning-lead-retrieval-guide/
“Sched's exhibitor capability is profile listing plus scan-based lead capture, not matching. This guide describes only that "Each listing gets a full profile page that includes a photo/logo, company info, and links" and that "the ability to add sponsors and exhibitors to your event is available on our Boost and Ultra Plans". Neither this page nor https://sched.com/features/lead-retrieval-software mentions matching exhibitors to relevant attendees or surfacing recommended attendees to exhibitors.”https://sched.com/guide/add-sponsors-and-exhibitors
“For larger schedules and better responsiveness, upgrade to the Native plan. Your native apps include unlimited downloads in the Apple App and Google Play stores... You are required to create your own Apple Developer and Google Developer accounts and invite us to them to publish your apps... It takes 3-4 weeks to build, submit, and have your native apps live in the App Stores.”https://sched.com/guide/native-apps-for-iphone-and-android/

“Yes, the app is fully compatible with both iOS and Android devices, ensuring easy access for all attendees.”https://sched.com/branded-mobile-apps/
Not shipped, so no basis is in effect today. The only basis the vendor states — for the roadmap item "Intelligent attendee matching" — is attendee interests: "Sched sifts through attendee interests to create connections" (https://sched.com/ai-event-planner/). Separately, https://sched.com/personalized-attendee-experience describes manual discovery via profiles and interests, not algorithmic matching.
“Sched sifts through attendee interests to create connections that are not just meaningful. They're unforgettable.”https://sched.com/ai-event-planner/
Split across tiers, all taken from Sched's own guide prose rather than the unreliable JS pricing table. Attendee-to-attendee direct and group CHAT requires Boost or Ultra — "This feature requires the Boost or Ultra Plans" (sched.com/guide/attendee-networking/). SPONSOR & EXHIBITOR PROFILES require Boost or Ultra — "available on our Boost and Ultra Plans" (sched.com/guide/add-sponsors-and-exhibitors). Breakout networking session capacities are "available on Sched's Boost and Ultra Plans only". The BRANDED/WHITE-LABEL app is in no tier at all — it is a separate paid "Native plan" add-on offered alongside every tier. The shared Sched container app (iOS & Android) is included from the entry Launch plan. The attendee DIRECTORY tier is UNVERIFIED: two reads of the pricing table disagreed (Launch vs Boost) and no guide page states a tier for it.
“This feature requires the Boost or Ultra Plans.”https://sched.com/guide/attendee-networking/
Publishes partially. FETCHED AND CONFIRMED: per-attendee framing on sched.com/dont-overpay-for-event-planning-software/ — "Sched's pricing is $4 or less per attendee" and "Our pricing starts at just $2.50 per attendee". Paid add-on bundles on sched.com/pricing/ show original/discounted pairs: Support Bundle "$4,500 $2,000", Monetization Bundle "$4,750 $1,500", Insights Bundle "$3,500 $2,000", Migration & Setup Bundle "$7,000 $3,500". Sched's own blog (sched.com/blog/event-management-software-cost/) publishes a plan table under OLDER plan names: Space $0, Space Basic $99, Essentials $299 education/nonprofit or $499 with 250 attendees, Plus $599 or $999 with 250 attendees, Premium $2,999 or $3,499 with 1,000 attendees, Custom from a $25,000 minimum, plus "Most organizations typically spend between a few hundred dollars to less than $10,000 a year" and add-on services "starting around $999" — these names do not match the current Launch/Boost/Ultra tiers, so treat as stale. CURRENT Launch/Boost/Ultra prices are UNVERIFIED: the price fields on sched.com/pricing are JS-injected and render as empty placeholders on every fetch. All plans are billed annually starting from 250 attendees; the Native (branded app) add-on price is not published anywhere fetchable.

Meetup is a recurring-community platform, not event technology: its own recommendation engine matches members to EVENTS — "new events that align with their unique needs", computed from event location, timing, popularity and topic alignment (https://www.meetup.com/blog/4-tips-more-rsvps-personal-recommendations/) — and as of its 2026 roadmap, member-to-member connection is still listed as "Experimental connection tools" (https://www.meetup.com/blog/2026-meetup-roadmap/), so a buyer who needs AI attendee matchmaking, 1:1 meeting booking, exhibitor lead retrieval or a branded app in the stores will not find them on Meetup.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is live and unchanged in 2026, operating as "Meetup" at meetup.com and as "Meetup LLC" on the App Store. Homepage positions it as "The people platform. Where interests become friendships." Its own 2026 product roadmap was published on the vendor blog (https://www.meetup.com/blog/2026-meetup-roadmap/) and the iOS app was updated within the last week (v2026.9.4), so the product is actively maintained. IMPORTANT CATEGORY CAVEAT: Meetup is a consumer community/group platform, not an event-technology vendor for trade shows or conferences. Several of the 12 capabilities in this schema (exhibitor matchmaking, meeting room assignment, lead retrieval) have no counterpart concept anywhere on their site; where I found no page that reads on the capability I recorded UNVERIFIED rather than "no". Its help centre (help.meetup.com) returned HTTP 403 to every request, and meetup.com has no reachable pricing page — every candidate URL (/plans/, /pro/pricing/, /organizer-subscription/, /help/) returned 404 or a "Group not found" page, because unmatched top-level paths on meetup.com are treated as group slugs.

Event recommendation only, not person-to-person. The vendor's own post on its recommendation model says it surfaces "new events that align with their unique needs" and lists four signals: "Event location", "Timing", "Event and group popularity" and "Event topic alignment". No vendor page I reached states any basis for recommending WHO to meet; the 2026 roadmap describes member-to-member connection as "Experimental connection tools" still to come.

Public group pages expose the member directory to anyone, and the free Meetup Starter plan includes "In-app communications via Group Discussions and Event Comments"; direct messaging ships in the free consumer app. Organizer-side communication is the upsell: Meetup Standard adds "Access to more powerful communication features, such as emailing group members", the Pro page states "Pro admins can directly email their attendees event reminders and other important information", and custom event-registration fields are flagged "[PRO]".

Cvent (Attendee Hub)conference0 included · 7 gated · 1 not established · publishes nothingShow evidence
Cvent has every networking feature, but sells them as three separate purchases: the attendee directory, messaging, AI recommendations and white-labelled app all require licensing Attendee Hub, while 1:1 Appointments and exhibitor LeadCapture are further add-ons listed under "Further enhance Cvent with:" — and Cvent's own pricing page publishes no price for any of it, only "Get a free quote".
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026. Cvent.com's own product navigation still lists "Attendee Hub" as a named product at /en/event-marketing-management/attendee-hub (nav label "Attendee Engagement"), and the pricing page sells an "Attendee Hub license" as a distinct line item. Footer reads "© Copyright 2026 Cvent Inc." Note two 2026 naming details: the marketing nav now calls the module "Attendee engagement" while the product name "Attendee Hub" persists throughout the pricing and features pages; and Cvent has absorbed two acquired brands that are still sold under their own names as add-ons — Jifflenow (trade-show meetings) and iCapture (sales-team lead capture). Cvent has also recently rebranded its logo ("We didn't just update the logo — It's a new chapter for Cvent"). The old standalone "Cvent Events" container app remains published by Cvent, Inc. on both stores.

Cvent publishes two tiers, Professional and Enterprise: Professional is "License only the solutions above that you need", while Enterprise lists "Attendee Hub license" as an included entitlement alongside Registration, OnArrival and Essentials licenses. The whole networking cluster (attendee list/search/recommendations, profiles and interests, connections, messaging, and the White Labeled Event App) sits inside Attendee Hub. 1:1 meeting booking (Appointments), lead retrieval (LeadCapture) and trade-show meeting/room management (Jifflenow) are each FURTHER separate add-ons listed under "Further enhance Cvent with:" — they are not inside Attendee Hub's own feature matrix.

Eventtiatrade show0 included · 6 gated · 1 not established · publishes fullyShow evidence
Eventtia is the stronger choice when the meetings themselves are the product — it generates the slot grid and assigns "table 12, room 4, booth B-7," reopening the table when a meeting is cancelled — but it deliberately does not recommend who to meet: its own networking page states "We don't auto-match by algorithm," and that capability sits behind the $7,000/year Networking tier, so buyers who need assisted discovery for an audience that does not already know each other are paying top-tier pricing for a searchable directory.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is live and correctly named Eventtia in 2026 — no rename or absorption found. Homepage at eventtia.com is active and positions the company as "Enterprise event infrastructure. Built for the brands that set the standard." Corporate entity in the app stores is "Eventtia Inc". Currency of the estate is confirmed by a live 2026 client app in Google Play under their developer account ("GLI Forum Latam 2026"). Note the site serves both /en/ and root-path variants of most product pages; the root-path versions (e.g. /pricing/, /event-mobile-app/) are the canonical live ones, while /en (bare) 404s.

Attendee-declared structured profiles plus attendee-driven requests — explicitly NOT algorithmic.

Eventbrite publishes its ticketing economics to the cent — "3.7% + $1.79 service fee per ticket" plus "2.9% payment processing fee per order" — but every networking capability (attendee profiles via Attendee Connect, Lead Capture for exhibitors, a white-label Store Listing app) is sold only inside a quote-only Onsite Registration Suite that recurs per event and, in Eventbrite's own words, "remain[s] active for three months after an Event concludes".
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and unchanged in 2026. Homepage footer reads "© 2026 Eventbrite"; the organizer pricing, features, help centre and both app stores all serve current Eventbrite-branded content. No rename or absorption. Two structural notes that matter for reading this row: (1) Eventbrite's own blog states its conference/onsite tier is "Eventbrite's Onsite Registration Suite, powered by Entegy" and its own vendor marketplace lists Entegy as a third-party partner — so the event-app/networking layer is a contracted add-on, not the core self-serve product; (2) the container app "Event Portal for Eventbrite" (App Store id1326004445, Play au.com.entegy.ebportal) returned 404 on every storefront I tried while the main Eventbrite app listing fetched fine, so I could not confirm that container app is still listed — recorded as unreachable, NOT as retired.

Ticket Tailorcommunity0 included · 0 gated · 0 not established · publishes partiallyShow evidence
Ticket Tailor is a low-fee ticketing engine, not an event platform: its own index promises "All the features you’ll ever need" across ~85 features and includes no attendee directory, messaging, matchmaking or 1:1 meetings, its 87-endpoint public API has no attendee-profile or meeting object, and its only mobile app is a door scanner that the App Store listing says "is not for ticket buyers" — so if your delegates are meant to meet each other, everything after the ticket is something you buy or build somewhere else.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Live and correctly named in 2026 — no rename or absorption. The Apple App Store listing names the seller as Zimma Ltd with sellerUrl https://www.tickettailor.com, app version 5.5.2 last updated 2026-07-20; the site's own "Discover live events" module lists events dated Oct 2026 – Jan 2027; the developer docs release log runs to 2026-05-29. Homepage self-describes as "Design, manage, and sell tickets to your event all in one easy-to-use event ticketing platform!" and "Join over 73,000 Event Creators across 120 countries". SOURCING CAVEAT (stated for auditability): www.tickettailor.com and help.tickettailor.com sit behind a Cloudflare JS challenge — WebFetch and direct curl both returned HTTP 403 "Just a moment..." on every attempt. Vendor page content was therefore retrieved through the r.jina.ai text-extraction proxy pointed at the canonical vendor URLs listed in pagesFetched; the returned pages carry vendor titles, vendor CDN asset URLs and internally consistent vendor copy. developers.tickettailor.com, www.tickettailor.com/robots.txt, the Apple App Store and the Google Play listings were fetched directly with no proxy. WebSearch was unavailable this session (200/200 budget exhausted), so no search engine, aggregator or review site was used — and none would have been admissible anyway.

twine is a networking LAYER, not an event platform — by their own description they "enable our customers to spin up networking rooms in minutes, and to easily append those networking experiences to their core system via link or embed code", integrating into Bizzabo, InEvent, Kaltura, Goldcast, Notified, Hubb and Cadence — which means a buyer still needs a separate event platform for the app, directory, badges and lead capture, and pays twine "$5 per attendee, billed annually" with a "*minimum 500 licenses" floor on top of it.
Brand check (2026-09-08): Brand is LIVE but showing decay signals, and the name needs care. The vendor is "twine" (lowercase, stylised) at www.twine.us — a speed-networking / advanced-breakout-rooms layer for virtual and hybrid events, NOT to be confused with several unrelated apps also called Twine (a friend-matching social app com.ascalon.twine, an RSS reader dev.sasikanth.rss.reader, Twine Labs HR, Twine Viewer). The site is up and serving a full marketing site with a live public pricing page. Confirmed rename: their own blog post "twine.nyc is now twine.us" states "twine.nyc is now officially twine.us (us as in 'You and Me,' not USA)"; the old try.twine.nyc URLs 301 to www.twine.us and sign-in still points at studio.twine.nyc. PIVOT SIGNAL (material for a sales conversation, but not proof of death): their support centre help.twine.us now 301-redirects to help.ambient.us, and that knowledge base's live collections cover only Ambient — "Getting Started", "MCP Server and APIs", "Calendar Integration and Features", "Sharing and Organizing Summaries", "Action Items" — with no twine breakout-room collection surfaced (the twine-for-Zoom collection URL 404s at the new host, though individual legacy twine articles still resolve). Ambient (www.ambient.us) describes a completely different product: "a Shared Brain for your org that pools knowledge across people and systems, manages access controls, and saves you tokens" — no mention of events, networking or breakout rooms. twine.us itself carries an /ambient page marketing "twine ambient", so Ambient began as a twine product and now appears to be the company's focus. Staleness corroborated: www.twine.us/product/enterprise serves obvious unmaintained boilerplate from a different template entirely (a social-media scheduler comparison table listing "Social Accounts", "Publishing Calendar", "Schedule Messages") — that page was disregarded as evidence and none of the values below rest on it. Treat twine as live-but-likely-deprioritised; verify with the vendor before quoting it as an active competitor.

Attendee self-selected tags plus host-configured rules and variables — the vendor calls it a "tag and rule based matching engine" and an "algorithm", and nowhere claims AI for matching (their only AI claim is on the separate twine ambient business-updates feed). Four stated modes: Speed Networking/Shuffle (round-robin rotation), Map (self-selected virtual tables), A+B (host picks two variables and pairs them off), and Multi-Tag/Tag-Based (attendee self-identification). Uniqueness across rounds is guaranteed. No behavioural, intent-capture or profile-inference signal is claimed.

Networking IS the entire product, so nothing is gated behind a networking add-on — the free Starter tier includes "All modes". What is gated is SCALE and DELIVERY: Starter is free but capped at "up to 6" participants and Zoom-only; Pro at "$99/mo. per host" is still "twine for Zoom" only and capped at "up to 100 per month"; browser-delivered networking ("twine for Web") plus "Analytics / Reporting" first appear on Business (contact-sales); and event-scale networking sits on the Events tier at "$5 per attendee, billed annually" with "*minimum 500 licenses". "Custom branding" and "White glove support" are Events-only and worded as "available" rather than included, i.e. likely a further paid add-on.
