What event planners discover when evaluating Whova
Whova has built a strong following, particularly for its attendee app experience and networking features, which event-goers genuinely enjoy. But for professional event planners managing complexity behind the scenes, 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.
⚠️ Pricing that can be difficult to forecast
Whova operates on a per-event pricing model, which suits organizations running occasional events. For planners managing multiple events a year, or events that grow in scope over time, costs can be harder to predict. This is particularly true when additional capabilities are structured as separate tiers rather than included features.
🕰️ A platform that hasn't kept pace with modern event needs
Whova has been a reliable tool for many planners, but its development has focused primarily on the attendee app experience. For teams looking for continuous innovation — AI-powered tools, advanced engagement features, and a platform that evolves with the industry — Whova's roadmap has real limits.
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 Whova
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.
✅ Transparent pricing, with everything included
With EventsAir, your pricing doesn't creep up with each renewal and the features that matter most don't come as add-ons. Call for proposals, your mobile app, lead retrieval, exhibitor tools, white-labeling, and unlimited registrations are all included as standard. What you see is what you pay, year after year.
🚀 A platform built for what's next
EventsAir is continuously investing in innovation to meet the needs of the modern event planner. Air Intelligence brings AI-powered tools to your workflow, smart networking and meeting matching helps attendees connect meaningfully, and advanced engagement tools keep every audience active and involved.
🔀 Registration that bends to your event
EventsAir supports multiple registration pathways with logic-based branching, so every attendee follows a journey tailored to them. And advanced attendee management gives your team a real-time, accurate profile of every attendee's event journey.
⚡ Back-of-house control, built in from the start
EventsAir gives organizers the tools to match the experience their attendees enjoy. From self-service exhibitor and sponsor portals to flexible badging, onsite check-in, and a host of configurable options that can be updated and adjusted to suit your event's exact needs.
