Eventact

Eventact is an event platform for organizers managing conferences, exhibitions, or hybrid events with more than registration to coordinate. It is strongest when abstract review, program publishing, and onsite logistics all matter; its monthly plans and attendee limits make it less compelling for a small, simple event.

Overview

Eventact connects attendee registration with event websites, programs, mobile access, and event-day operations. Registration forms can use custom fields, validation, conditional logic, and separate attendee paths, while attendee records are kept centrally. That structure is useful for conferences with different participant types or more involved signup rules.

Its most distinctive value is continuity from abstract submission through reviewer assignment and committee decisions to agenda building and publication. Organizers can also handle ticketing, attendee email, exhibitors, check-in, and attendance reporting within the same platform. For a team that needs this breadth, consolidation can simplify coordination; for an event that only needs a sign-up form and a basic agenda, the additional scope is difficult to justify.

Key features

Abstracts and event programs

Abstract submission, review workflows, reviewer assignment, and committee decisions address the needs of scientific and academic conferences and associations. Accepted work can feed into an agenda, then be published on the event website and app. This is a useful joined-up workflow for events with formal submissions, but it is unlikely to be decisive for corporate gatherings without a review process.

Web, app, and onsite operations

The website builder and installable Progressive Web App let attendees access event information without an app-store download. Onsite tools include QR and barcode scanning, badge printing, access control, and attendance reporting. Offline check-in with later synchronization is a practical safeguard for venues where connectivity may be unreliable.

Virtual events, integrations, and security

Virtual and hybrid formats can use live or prerecorded sessions, embedded streams, RTMP, virtual rooms, chat, Q&A, polls, and video on demand. Integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Monday.com synchronization, analytics tools, payment gateways, and documented APIs. Named gateways include Stripe, PayPal, PayMe, Hyp, and Authorize.Net; organizers use their own merchant account.

Eventact describes HTTPS traffic using TLS 1.2 or higher, two-factor authentication, role-based access, login monitoring, daily backups, and weekly off-site backups. It says its infrastructure is in a Tier 3 redundant facility in Israel and directly controlled by Eventact. Customers remain data owners and GDPR Data Controllers, with Eventact acting as Data Processor. Those arrangements will matter to teams assessing access controls, backup practices, and data responsibilities.

Pricing

Eventact has no free plan. Subscription packages are billed monthly and use annual attendee ceilings; one-event packages instead set a per-event ceiling. The published package ladder makes both scope and volume important to the budget.

Adding the app at the under-2,000 annual level costs $330 a month; adding abstracts as well costs $415 a month. At under 5,000 attendees per year, the corresponding packages are 520.00 USD, 830.00 USD, and $1,020 a month. Teams should choose by required components as well as volume: the cheaper tiers omit the app and, at the lowest tier, abstract management.

For a single event, Registration and Website cost $799 a month for under 400 attendees per event or $1,549 a month for under 1,000. Registration, Event App, and Website cost $1,099 a month for under 400 attendees per event. These event-specific prices are substantial compared with the smaller subscription tier, so organizers should compare the event limit and package contents against their schedule rather than assume a one-off event is cheaper.

A demo account can be requested for 30 days. Pricing also includes dedicated onboarding consultation and support, while subscription plans include 24/7 support; priority support is available as a subscription. The support team lists email, WhatsApp, Google Messages, and Telegram as contact routes.

Platforms

Eventact supports web, Android, and iOS, and provides an API. Its installable Progressive Web App offers an app-like attendee option without requiring an app-store download. The feature page lists English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Greek, Romanian, Slovenian, Albanian, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese, a broad language range for international events.

Who it's for

Eventact is aimed at academic and scientific conferences, associations and societies, corporate and enterprise events, and professional conference organizers and event agencies. It is particularly appropriate for recurring or complex conferences that need submissions, review, a published agenda, attendee management, and onsite execution together. Organizers seeking a free starting point, or those with only basic registration needs, should consider a narrower or freemium product instead.

Pros and cons

Pros: Abstract review, agenda publishing, registration, onsite operations, and virtual-event capabilities sit in one system, reducing the need to coordinate separate event tools.

Pros: Offline check-in can synchronize later, and the Progressive Web App avoids an app-store download for attendee access.

Pros: Integrations, documented APIs, named payment gateways, and described security controls support teams with operational and governance requirements.

Cons: There is no free plan, and the lowest subscription is $210 a month, a steep entry point for straightforward or occasional events.

Cons: Annual attendee limits and separate package contents require organizers to budget for both volume and the capabilities they need.

Cons: The under-400-attendee single-event option starts at $799 a month, which may not suit smaller organizers focused on low cost.

Alternatives

For abstract-review-focused choices, Congressio offers a free plan with one active event, 100 submissions, and three team seats, so it is worth considering when those caps cover the workflow and avoiding a paid entry plan matters. Fourwaves has a free Starter plan with 25 abstract submissions per year, unlimited registrations and events, and a 3% service fee; choose it if that submission allowance and fee model fit better than Eventact's paid packages. AbstractWiz offers a free per-event tier for up to 20 submissions and a 270.00 USD one-time Standard plan with unlimited submissions and all features, making it an option when a per-event abstract workflow is the priority.

Indico is a free, self-hosted open-source option for teams that prefer self-hosting. ConfTool offers a free license on request for smaller non-commercial events up to 150 participants, with local installation and no support. HotCRP is a freemium alternative. SimplyConf has a free Core plan with unlimited events, submissions, and users. OpenConf offers a Community Edition for three or fewer events and journals per calendar year.

Verdict

Choose Eventact if your conference or event team needs abstract review, program publication, attendee management, and onsite or hybrid operations in one system, and can budget for a monthly package tied to attendee ceilings. Its integrated range is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan, a lower-cost route for a small event, or only basic registration.
