Event Passport PRO vs Novex Speaker Management

Event Passport PRO brings ticket sales, registration, agendas, attendee check-in, networking, sponsor showcases, and event analytics into one platform. Organizers can set ticket types, prices, and availability, with Stripe Checkout processing payments. Registration forms support text, dropdown, and multi-select fields, and data can be exported to CSV. Agendas can span multiple tracks and days and be embedded on an event website. Attendees check in with unique QR codes for events or sessions; organizers can optionally verify check-ins by GPS. Networking matches attendees using interests, goals, and sessions attended, with in-app connections and contact exchange. Digital passport stamps, live leaderboards, and stamp- or rank-based prizes support gamification. PRO includes CSV exports, webhooks, and a read-only API, which organizers must ask the company to enable. The free plan allows one active experience and up to 50 attendees, with a $1.99 fee per paid ticket sold. PRO costs $100 a month per 200-attendee block and charges $0.99 per paid ticket sold. Use cases include conferences, trade shows, multi-event programs, newsletters, webinars, and corporate events.
