What event planners discover when evaluating Swoogo

Swoogo has built a strong reputation particularly for its intuitive registration and website building experience, which planners consistently rate highly. But for teams managing events that go beyond registration, 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.

🔧 Exhibitor and sponsor management requires significant manual effort

Swoogo doesn't have a dedicated exhibitor or sponsor portal. For planners managing exhibitions and sponsorships, that means manual collection and workarounds where a self-service experience should exist, adding time and effort that could be better spent elsewhere. 

🚧 One registration form per event has its limits 

Swoogo supports one registration form per event, which works well for straightforward programs. When events include speakers, volunteers, board members, or invite-only attendee types with different information needs and registration journeys, the reliance on conditional logic is not ideal. 

🧩 Some capabilities need to be sourced elsewhere 

As event programs grow in scope, planners often find Swoogo's out-of-the-box functionality has boundaries. Onsite tools and the mobile attendee app are available, but come as additional purchases — and some capabilities that professional planners rely on, like lead scanning, session surveys, and gamification, aren't available at all.  

🔒 Per-user pricing restricts how your team works 

Swoogo's seat-based pricing model means access to the platform is tied to the number of users on your plan. For larger teams or organizations that need multiple people managing different aspects of an event, that structure can create friction around who can access what, and when. 

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 Swoogo

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.

🤝 A complete exhibitor and sponsor experience 

EventsAir includes a fully self-service exhibitor and sponsor portal in every package. Exhibitors manage their own registrations, content, and purchases directly without organizer intervention. Lead retrieval, floor plan management, and sponsor visibility are all built in, so your team can focus on running the event rather than chasing content submissions. 

🔀 Registration that bends to your event 

EventsAir supports multiple registration pathways with logic-based branching, so speakers, exhibitors, VIPs, volunteers, and general attendees can each follow a journey tailored to them. Different forms, different fields, different flows — all managed from one platform, without the need for workarounds or additional systems. 

💡 One platform. One source of truth. 

When your event data lives in one place, everything gets easier. EventsAir brings together registration, financials, communications, reporting, onsite tools, and your attendee app under a single data layer, so there's no need to stitch together third-party tools or reconcile information from multiple systems. 

♾️ Unlimited users, unlimited access 

EventsAir includes unlimited users across most packages, so your whole team can access and manage events without seat-based restrictions. Venues, suppliers, sponsors, and internal stakeholders can all be granted tailored access to exactly what they need — whether that's a dedicated portal, live reporting dashboards, or read-only views of registration data.
