What event planners discover when evaluating Cvent
Cvent is a well-known platform, and for some organizations, it does the job. But for professional event planners who need flexibility, transparency, and a platform that truly works as one, a few things tend to come up.
We've done the research so you don't have to. The insights below are gathered from real conversations with event professionals and independent user reviews, so you can make the most informed decision for your events.
⚙️ Setup that leaves you second-guessing
Cvent is feature-rich, but that depth can come with a steep learning curve. Getting your first event live is a significant time investment, and without tailored onboarding, it can be difficult to know with confidence that everything has been set up correctly. For busy planners, that combination of time and uncertainty is hard to absorb.
🫣 Your costs grow every time your event does
Cvent's per-registration pricing model means every additional attendee adds to your bill. For planners managing large or growing events, that makes budgeting unpredictable — and turns a successful event into an unexpectedly expensive one.
📉 Your data doesn't always tell the same story
Cvent has grown significantly through acquisitions, and that history shows in the platform. Information doesn't always flow seamlessly between modules, and planners often find themselves reconciling data across more than one place.
🖨️ Onsite delivery can feel restrictive
Cvent's onsite check-in tools are built around proprietary hardware, which limits your options when it comes to equipment choices and onsite setup. For planners who want flexibility on event day, that can add unnecessary complexity.
Simple pricing with unlimited registrations
Rest assured, with EventsAir your success won’t impact your budget.
This is why serious event planners choose EventsAir over Cvent
Now here's what a different approach looks like. One where you can plan with confidence, engage attendees in real time, deliver seamlessly across formats, and scale success with powerful insights and repeatable systems.
💜 Intuitive from day one
EventsAir is designed with you in mind, featuring a modern interface and workflows that make event planning a breeze. Onboarding is hands-on with our event success experts, and we give you smart tools to get set up and running quickly so your whole team can deliver with confidence from day one.
👥 Unlimited registrations
With EventsAir, every package includes unlimited registrations. That means no per-attendee fees and no unexpected invoices as attendance grows. And the features other platforms charge extra for — your mobile app, white-labeling, onsite badging, and exhibitor tools — are all included as standard.
🤩 One source of truth
When your event data lives in one place, everything gets easier. Registration, financials, comms, reporting, and your attendee app all run on a single data layer, giving you and your team a complete, accurate picture of every event, at every stage.
🔄 Full flexibility for event day
EventsAir is completely hardware agnostic, giving you the freedom to use your own onsite equipment or work with our trusted partner network for check-in kiosks, badging, and staffing solutions. However you run event day, EventsAir adapts to you — not the other way around.
