WebMobi vs Whova

We don't know, and neither can you without contacting them. Whova publishes no price — its pricing page is a quote-request form, with no plan names, no figures and no stated free tier. The form asks for event format, duration, attendee count and annual event frequency before it shows you anything, and the FAQ says only that "The Whova pricing depends on the size of the event and service options that event organizers wish to include." No figure, no range, no per-attendee rate and no ticket-fee percentage appears anywhere on the site — checked 2026-09-08. This page used to carry a per-attendee cost argument for Whova built entirely on numbers nobody had read on a Whova page; all of it is gone. Ours is published: $19–$99/month for the subscription and $999 per event for a Professional Event, which includes your growth subscription, still running.

No, and Whova says so directly: "Whova is not a white-label app but enables you to customize the event main page for your branding. For example, you can change the color scheme, icon names/colors/languages, event logo, etc." Your event runs inside the shared Whova container app. Whova also argues the model is obsolete, citing Apple's rules on apps generated from a commercial template. WebMobi ships an own-branded app under your identity in both stores — that is the clearest single difference between the two products.

Whova ships matchmaking as standard: "Whova's matchmaking feature uses attendee profiles to suggest curated connections that truly matter… based on shared interests, locations, affiliations and education", and SmartProfiles pre-populate those profiles from registration data so the matching is not starved of input. The basis is profile data — no Whova page fetched on 2026-09-08 claims behavioural signals, stated meeting intent, or an LLM. WebMobi's attendee matchmaking is a private beta: it is off by default and is switched on per customer at /demo or support@webmobi.com. On generally-available networking, Whova is ahead of us today.

Only as a paid add-on. The scheduler itself is included: "Facilitate high value 1-1 meetings with exhibitors, mentors, recruiters, speakers, vendors and more." The physical layer — Meeting Space Reservations — is separate: "This new add-on feature is perfect for events that go the extra mile by providing dozens of tables or rooms for private meetings." Organisers upload tables or rooms with capacity, pin them to a floor map, and attendees reserve a space. WebMobi is behind on this one: we book the meeting, we do not assign the room.

When networking has to be live for the next event and you cannot wait on a beta activation, and when your event is a large annual conference rather than a series of small ones. Whova's matchmaking, messaging, scheduler and exhibitor lead retrieval are all generally available. Switch to WebMobi when you want your own app listing rather than a shared container, a price you can read before a sales call, and 0% of your ticket revenue.

Every Whova statement on this page is quoted from a Whova page, read on 2026-09-08. Whova is the strongest-sourced row in our audit: 19 vendor pages fetched, 12 capabilities recorded, and not one of them left unverified — its own site answers every question we asked of it, except what it costs. The full comparison, covering 35 vendors on the same 12 capabilities with the source URL and quote behind every cell, is published at /compare/event-app-networking-features. Where a vendor's site says nothing, that grid says "not stated" rather than "no" — including for us.
