Still looking for a Cvent alternative? See why Guidebook stands above Cvent
in terms of customer support, pricing, and customer feedback.
Are your ‘per-attendee’ fees continuously rising? With Guidebook, you get an event management platform with the industry’s leading event app for your attendees, with one fixed-fee invoice.
No more per-attendee pricing, and helpful US and UK-based support when you need it.
What do you like best about Guidebook?
It is easy to build and navigate. Minimal training is needed, as this app is easy to self teach. The premium version makes it a one-stop shop for all conference related items. We really enjoyed the QR Code Scavenger Hunt game feature.

What do you like best about Guidebook?
I really like the manage-end of Guidebook. The ease of uploading all of my events at one time and being able to edit easily in real time takes the stress out of the management of events with many moving parts. I also like that you can customize as much or little as you want and the app experience for the user still looks cleans and welcoming.

It is very user friendly and easy to use. I like that they are affordable compared to other competitors and does not charge based on number of attendees, exhibitors, or company.

What do you dislike about Cvent Attendee Hub?
Without complete training or deep diving into the capabilities, it is sometimes difficult to understand which features are the most beneficial for your event. Still, there is a variety of options to choose from.

What do you dislike about Cvent Attendee Hub?
It took a long time to learn. We needed to give admin access to many more staffers than I would have liked because the roles are not well-defined -- so everyone had to be an admin to do some helpful things (onsite, for example). This tool took a long time to learn, and we had many calls with support. Support is very structured, so we needed to go through the call center or book time with folks to get things moving. Still, the things that did not go right at the first event would have been preventable if we had more help from the team there. The interface is non-intuitive, and some things are redundant -- while ither things, you just can't see if you are not in the right "mode" as an admin - and this gets confusing.
