EasyChair vs Sciencesconf

EasyChair is a web service for managing conferences from abstract submission and review through program generation, registration, and proceedings publishing. Its review workflow includes reviewer management, paper assignment, online discussion, and an author rebuttal phase, with support for standard and multi-track conferences. Other listed services include Smart CFP for calls for papers, Smart Slide for presentations, proceedings publishing, and preprints. Executive and VIP licenses include integrations with IEEE copyright management and ACM and Springer proceedings. The free license allows at most 20 submissions and excludes technical support. Professional licenses allow up to 60 submissions, cost $3.90 as a one-time purchase billed per submission, and require credit-card payment. Executive and VIP rates are listed from $6.10, paid once billed per submission, with unlimited submissions; helpdesk and technical support are included, and VIP adds an assigned manager. EasyChair says licenses include encrypted access, data backup, and replication. It is hosted on its own servers and cannot be installed on a customer's server. EasyChair says conferences using the service range from small workshops to events with nearly 5,000 submissions and thousands of participants.

Sciencesconf is a free web service for managing scientific events from submission through peer review, scheduling, registration and proceedings. After an event request passes validation, it supplies a hosted site on a dedicated sciencesconf.org address, so organizers do not need local infrastructure. Organizers can assign roles, edit templates and menus, and use email templates, mailing lists and mailing tools. Submission workflows support calls for papers, abstracts or full texts, communication types, themes, proposal selection, programming and proceedings. Review features include grids, theme coordination, reviewer invitations, reminders, and review distribution and follow-up. Registration tools cover periods, forms, registrant lists and participant communication, with Paybox or Azur colloque payment configuration. HAL can autocomplete author and affiliation data and receive transferred papers when settings permit. Sites remain public after events, but administration ends after two years. Virtual conference tools are not integrated.
