In their own words
Accelevents
Accelevents brings registration, sessions, virtual booths, networking, attendee engagement, and reporting into a platform for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Organizers can stream using Accelevents or connect Zoom for live sessions, and offer recordings on demand alongside scheduled participation. Attendees can chat, request connections or meetings, join timed one-to-one networking, and take part in workshops with up to 25 people on camera. The virtual event hub supports announcements, activity-based challenges, and leaderboards. During an event, organizers can track registration, attendance, and engagement in sessions and booths. Connections with Marketo, Salesforce, and HubSpot support exchanging attendee and registration data. Attendees can join through a browser or mobile event app, depending on event setup. The platform has a free plan, and listed paid plan sizes range from one event with 500 registrants on Professional to unlimited events on White Label. Continuing education features are available on Business, Enterprise, and White Label plans. Every plan includes 24/7 support, with an average response time of 21 seconds.
Hi.Events
Hi.Events is an event ticketing and management platform for concerts, conferences, festivals, club nights, workshops, and community events. Organizers can offer paid, free, donation, and tiered tickets, plus add-ons, promo codes, waitlists, and registration questions. Door staff can scan tickets or find attendees by name from a link; organizers can review sales reports and export them as CSV. Ticket payments go to the organizer’s Stripe account through Stripe Connect, rather than being held by Hi.Events between sale and payout. Cloud costs $0, with no monthly fee, and paid tickets carry a 1.25% + $0.60 fee; it includes unlimited events and ticket types, QR check-in, and embeddable checkout. Self-hosting is available under AGPL-3.0 at no charge, with the Powered by Hi.Events link kept visible and modifications published. Commercial licences start at €499 per year plus VAT for Standard, covering one production domain; Platform is €2,499 per year plus VAT for qualifying ticketing platforms. The software can be deployed in the cloud or self-hosted using Docker or manual server setup.
