Event Anywhere vs EventX

Event Anywhere is a platform for taking in-person events online or running them in a hybrid format. It handles registration, ticketing and payments, and provides audio, video, chat messaging and screencasts for event communications. Attendees can network and meet exhibitors in a virtual expo hall, then continue conversations later with audio notes, video or chat messages. Engagement analytics cover interactions, sessions and virtual footfall. Organizations can tailor colors, fonts, interface elements and logos, while the site describes white-label options for event management companies. The first event is offered free for up to 100 users, with community-site access for up to 30 days after the live event; branding customization is excluded and fair use applies. The service is available on the web and as an extension, including a screen recorder distributed through the Chrome Web Store. The pricing page says it works best in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a desktop or laptop and cautions that other browsers may have issues. The maker also describes a ChatGPT-powered AI co-presenter for live streams with voice features, polls, Q&A and chat.

EventX is an event management and marketing platform for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Organizers can manage registration, session booking, ticket types, promo codes, campaign tracking, payments, and check-in. The check-in app scans QR codes and supports kiosks and name search, while customized badges can be printed in under two seconds after check-in. For virtual events, the platform offers live streaming or Zoom integration, on-demand video, booths, networking, polls, Q&A, and surveys. EventX also creates branded event websites and progressive web apps that run in a browser without app-store installation. It lists integrations with Stripe, Zoom, Kahoot!, Slido, and KUDO, and supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. The free plan allows unlimited events, up to 30 attendees per event, and one user. Essentials costs $99 a month and allows 300 attendees per event, with a 5% ticketing platform fee. EventX states that it has ISO 27001 certification and has complied with GDPR since May 25, 2018.
