TL;DR - Why Switch from Explara to WebMobi?

Explara charges 3% commission per ticket on every sale. For a 1,000-ticket event at ₹1,000/ticket, you lose ₹30,000 in commissions. WebMobi charges ₹0 commission (0%) with transparent flat-rate pricing from ₹25,000/year.

Why Event Organizers Are Switching from Explara to WebMobi

Problem 1: 3% Commission Eats Your Profit Margins

Explara's Model:

  • Appears "free" with "Starter Plan"
  • Charges 3% commission on every ticket sale
  • Your costs increase proportionally with success
  • No control over annual expenses

Real Cost Example:

Event: 1,000 tickets Ɨ ₹1,000 = ₹10,00,000 revenue

Explara Commission:
- 3% of ₹10,00,000 = ₹30,000
- Payment gateway fees: +₹29,000 (2.9%)
- Total fees: ₹59,000 (5.9% of revenue!)

WebMobi:
- ₹0 commission (0%)
- Annual fee: ₹25,000 (BASIC plan)
- Payment gateway: ₹29,000 (2.9% - same as Explara)
- Total: ₹54,000

Savings: ₹5,000 on first ₹10L event
After 2 events: ₹10L Ɨ 2 = ₹20L revenue
   Explara: ₹60,000 commission
   WebMobi: ₹25,000 annual fee
   Save: ₹35,000 (58% cheaper)

Customer Testimonial:

"We ran 6 corporate conferences last year. Total revenue: ₹60 lakhs. Explara's 3% commission: ₹1,80,000! We switched to WebMobi's ₹62,500/year PREMIUM plan and saved ₹1,17,500. That's 65% cost reduction with better features." — Kavita Desai, Event Director, Mumbai Corporate Events


Problem 2: Commission Model Scales with Your Success (Bad for You)

The Explara Trap: The more successful your events become, the more you pay. Growing from ₹10L to ₹1 crore in annual revenue means paying ₹3,00,000 in commissions instead of ₹30,000.

WebMobi's Flat-Rate Advantage:

  • Run 1 event or 50 events → same ₹25,000-₹62,500/year
  • Sell 100 tickets or 10,000 tickets → same price
  • Scale infinitely without increased platform costs

Example: Growing Event Series

| Year | Events/Year | Revenue/Event | Total Revenue | Explara Commission (3%) | WebMobi BASIC | Your Savings | |------|-------------|---------------|---------------|------------------------|---------------|------------------| | Year 1 | 5 | ₹10,00,000 | ₹50,00,000 | ₹1,50,000 | ₹25,000 | ₹1,25,000 (83% cheaper) | | Year 2 | 10 | ₹15,00,000 | ₹1,50,00,000 | ₹4,50,000 | ₹25,000 | ₹4,25,000 (94% cheaper) | | Year 3 | 15 | ₹20,00,000 | ₹3,00,00,000 | ₹9,00,000 | ₹25,000 | ₹8,75,000 (97% cheaper) |

3-Year Total: WebMobi costs ₹75,000 vs Explara's ₹15,00,000 = ₹14,25,000 savings (95% cheaper!)


Problem 3: India-Only Focus Limits Global Events

Explara Limitations:

  • Primarily focused on Indian market
  • Limited multi-currency support for international attendees
  • Payment gateway primarily India-centric
  • Not ideal for global/hybrid events with international participants

WebMobi Global + India Strength:

  • India-first: UPI, Razorpay, Paytm, PhonePe (instant payments)
  • International: Stripe, PayPal (130+ currencies)
  • Hybrid events: Indian + international attendees seamlessly
  • Regional pricing: India (₹), US ($), UK (Ā£), Canada (CAD), Australia (AUD)
  • Data residency: India (compliance) + global CDN (speed)

Use Case: Bangalore Tech Summit with Global Speakers

"We hosted a tech summit with 500 Indian developers (paying in INR) and 100 international speakers (paying in USD/EUR). Explara's multi-currency was clunky. WebMobi handled both seamlessly with automatic conversion and regional payment gateways. Plus saved ₹18,000 on commissions." — Aditya Krishnan, Founder, TechConf India


Problem 4: No Offline Mode = Venue WiFi Nightmare

The Explara Risk: Explara requires constant internet connection. If your venue WiFi fails (extremely common in India), you cannot:

  • Check in attendees
  • Scan QR codes
  • Access attendee lists
  • Process on-site registrations
  • View session schedules

Real Disaster Story:

"Our conference at a Hyderabad convention center promised 'high-speed WiFi.' It crashed 15 minutes into check-in. Explara was completely useless. 800 attendees in line, WiFi down, we had to print emergency lists and manually check everyone. 3 hours of chaos. Never again." — Rohan Mehta, Event Manager, Hyderabad Tech Park

WebMobi's Offline Solution:

  • Native iOS/Android apps work 100% offline
  • Check in attendees without any internet
  • Scan QR codes offline (instant response)
  • Access full attendee database locally
  • View complete event schedule offline
  • Record attendance and notes offline
  • Data syncs automatically when connection restored
  • Perfect for Indian venues with unreliable connectivity

Problem 5: Missing Professional Features Despite Taking Your Money

Explara takes 3% of your revenue but doesn't provide:

  • āŒ AI event creation (manual setup takes hours)
  • āŒ AI conflict detection (schedule clashes manually)
  • āŒ Certificate generation (need separate tool)
  • āŒ White-labeling in affordable plans (custom pricing only)
  • āŒ Offline mobile apps (online-only)
  • āŒ Advanced sponsor/exhibitor lead capture
  • āŒ Virtual event capabilities (Zoom integration)

WebMobi Includes Everything:

BASIC Plan (₹25,000/year) includes:

  • āœ… AI event creation with Gemini 2.0 (5-10 minutes vs 3-4 hours)
  • āœ… AI conflict detection across all sessions/tracks
  • āœ… AI email co-pilot for attendee communication
  • āœ… Up to 250 participants per event
  • āœ… Unlimited events, 10 admin accounts
  • āœ… Full sponsor & exhibitor suite with QR lead capture
  • āœ… Certificate generation (AI-powered) & automated delivery
  • āœ… Container mobile app (iOS + Android) with 100% offline mode
  • āœ… UPI, Razorpay, Paytm, PhonePe, Stripe, PayPal
  • āœ… Custom registration forms (unlimited fields)
  • āœ… QR code check-in (works offline)
  • āœ… Attendance tracking & advanced reporting
  • āœ… Email support

Value Comparison:

Explara (5 events @ ₹10L each): ₹1,50,000 commission (3%)
   ↓ Gets you: Basic ticketing only

WebMobi BASIC: ₹25,000/year flat
   ↓ Gets you: Everything above + saves ₹1,25,000

Extra savings: No need for CertifyMe/Certifier.io (₹15,000+)

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I really save ₹1,00,000+ per year switching from Explara?

Yes! If you run 5+ paid events per year with ₹10L+ revenue each:

Explara (5 events Ɨ ₹10L = ₹50L revenue):
3% Ɨ ₹50L = ₹1,50,000 commission

WebMobi BASIC: ₹25,000/year flat
Savings: ₹1,25,000 (83% cheaper)

For 10 events (₹1.5 crore revenue):
Explara: ₹4,50,000
WebMobi: ₹25,000 (or ₹62,500 PREMIUM with white-label)
Savings: ₹3,87,500-₹4,25,000

For enterprise volumes (₹5-10 crore), savings reach ₹10-20 lakhs annually.


2. Does WebMobi work with all Indian payment gateways?

Absolutely! WebMobi India version fully supports:

  • āœ… UPI (instant payments - Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm UPI)
  • āœ… Razorpay (use your existing account)
  • āœ… Paytm Business
  • āœ… PhonePe Payment Gateway
  • āœ… Stripe (for international attendees - 130+ currencies)
  • āœ… PayPal (optional for global reach)

Plus automatic GST compliance (18% where applicable).

You can use the same Razorpay account you're using with Explara. Just disconnect from Explara and connect to WebMobi.


3. Is the mobile app really 100% offline? Our venues have terrible WiFi.

Yes, truly 100% offline. This is critical for Indian venues:

What works offline:

  • āœ… Check in attendees (QR code scanning)
  • āœ… Access full attendee list (search by name)
  • āœ… View event schedule (all sessions/speakers)
  • āœ… View speaker/session details
  • āœ… Record attendance
  • āœ… Exhibitor lead capture
  • āœ… On-site registrations

How it works:

  1. Download event data when you have WiFi (office/hotel/home)
  2. Go to venue (zero WiFi needed)
  3. Check in 1,000 attendees offline
  4. When you get WiFi again (back at office), data syncs automatically

Tested successfully in: Bangalore convention centers, Mumbai hotels, Delhi conference halls, Hyderabad tech parks, Pune outdoor venues, Chennai expo centers


4. Can I remove WebMobi branding like I can with Explara?

Yes, and it's more affordable.

Explara requires custom pricing quote for white-labeling (typically expensive).

WebMobi PREMIUM (₹62,500/year) includes:

  • āœ… Remove all WebMobi logos
  • āœ… Custom domain (yourcompany.com)
  • āœ… White-label emails (from your domain)
  • āœ… Your branding everywhere

For fully branded mobile apps (App Store/Play Store with your logo), upgrade to BRANDED (₹1,87,500/year) - still 87% cheaper than Explara's commissions at scale.


5. Do I need to pay extra for certificates?

No, certificates are included in all paid plans (BASIC, PREMIUM, BRANDED, UNLIMITED).

WebMobi includes:

  • āœ… AI-powered certificate generation
  • āœ… Unlimited custom templates (always editable)
  • āœ… Bulk delivery via email
  • āœ… Digital signatures
  • āœ… PDF download for attendees
  • āœ… Blockchain verification (optional)
  • āœ… QR code verification

Explara + Certificate Tool:

Explara (5 events @ ₹10L): ₹1,50,000 commission
+ CertifyMe/Certifier.io: ₹15,000
Total: ₹1,65,000/year

WebMobi BASIC (includes certificates): ₹25,000
Savings: ₹1,40,000 (85% cheaper)

6. Can WebMobi handle both Indian and international attendees?

Yes! This is where WebMobi excels over Explara.

WebMobi handles:

  • šŸ‡®šŸ‡³ Indian attendees: Pay via UPI, Razorpay, Paytm in INR
  • šŸŒ International attendees: Pay via Stripe/PayPal in their local currency (130+ currencies)
  • šŸ”„ Automatic currency conversion and regional pricing
  • šŸ“ Hybrid events: In-person (India) + virtual (global) seamlessly
  • šŸ—ŗļø Multi-region: Run events in India, US, UK, Canada, Australia with regional pricing

Use Case:

"Our SaaS conference had 400 Indian attendees (INR) and 150 international attendees (USD/EUR/GBP). Explara struggled with multi-currency. WebMobi handled it perfectly - each attendee paid in their currency, we received consolidated reports. Plus saved ₹1.65L on commissions." — Vikram Singh, Founder, CloudConf India


7. What's the catch? Why is WebMobi so much cheaper than Explara's commissions?

No catch. Just a different (better) business model:

Explara's Model:

  • "Free" platform + take 3% commission per ticket forever
  • Earns more as you grow (revenue share)
  • Unpredictable costs for customers
  • Higher revenue for Explara = higher costs for you

WebMobi's Model:

  • Transparent flat-rate pricing (₹25,000-₹12,50,000/year based on needs)
  • Zero commission (we make money from subscriptions, not your tickets)
  • Predictable costs, you keep 100% of ticket revenue
  • Your success doesn't increase our revenue (aligned incentives)

Why we're cheaper:

  1. No commission = dramatically lower effective cost at scale
  2. AI automation reduces our operational costs (we pass savings to you)
  3. Global platform (India + US + UK + Canada + Australia) = economies of scale
  4. VC-backed (we're growing market share, not maximizing profit margin yet)
  5. Aligned incentives (your success doesn't increase our costs)

10. What if I have a very large event (5,000+ attendees)?

Perfect fit for WebMobi! This is where the savings are massive.

Example: 5,000 attendees @ ₹2,000/ticket = ₹1 crore revenue

Explara:

  • Commission: 3% Ɨ ₹1 crore = ₹3,00,000

WebMobi PREMIUM (white-label):

  • Annual fee: ₹62,500

Savings on single event: ₹2,37,500 (79% cheaper)

For very large events or high-volume organizers:

  • Consider BRANDED plan (₹1,87,500/year) for native mobile apps
  • Or UNLIMITED plan (₹4,17,000-₹12,50,000/year) for enterprise needs

Even at UNLIMITED max pricing (₹12,50,000), you save money if your annual revenue exceeds ₹4 crore (which would cost ₹12L in Explara commissions).
