Event Tech Stack Matcher
Match your event's technology needs - registration, live streaming, networking, polls and check-in - against a fixed list of twelve tools.
How it works
Choose the event type, the spending band and your needs: registration, live streaming, a dedicated app, badges and check-in, polls, networking, gamification. The tool compares your choices with a fixed list of twelve tools, written by us and not updated automatically, and ranks first those that cover the most needs, suit the event type and fit the spending band. It does not compare prices or integrations: before choosing, check features and costs on each provider's website.

How do you choose the right event management software?
Consider: how many attendees it can handle, integrations with your CRM and email marketing, ease of use for staff, technical support available during the event, cost per user or per event and how far you can customize it with your brand.
How much does technology cost for a 500-person event?
A technology budget for a 500-person event can range from about €500 (basic tools such as Eventbrite plus Google Forms) to €5,000-15,000 for complete solutions with a dedicated app, advanced networking and professional live streaming.
