Frequently asked questions
Should I leave Luma entirely?
+
Probably not. Luma is genre-leading for invite-only events under 200. The most common pattern is to use Luma for community moments and WebMobi for the annual conference your community grew into.
Can WebMobi match Luma's page design?
+
Our event pages use modern templates with custom branding, hero imagery, and speaker grids. Luma's page design is still arguably more elegant for tiny events; WebMobi prioritizes information density for conferences with 50+ sessions.
How does pricing compare?
+
Luma Free takes 5% on paid events; Luma Plus takes 0% and costs $59 a month, billed annually. Source: luma.com/pricing, read 2026-08-19. WebMobi is free to start and $19–$99/month on the paid plans, with 0% on tickets throughout — including the free plan. For a full conference you add a Professional Event at $999 per event, which includes your growth subscription, still running — it brings the sponsor portal and the badge workflow Luma does not ship at any price. Networking is in private beta, activated on request.
Will I lose my Luma RSVP list if I migrate?
+
No — Luma exports attendee CSVs. Import directly into WebMobi to seed your next event. Past events stay on Luma; new conferences go on WebMobi.
Does WebMobi work for invite-only events?
+
Yes — toggle event visibility to "invite-only" and registration is gated by invitation code or email allowlist. Same UX as Luma for the small-event use case.
