EventPro vs GridX Events

EventPro combines venue booking, event planning and catering management in a configurable system for event professionals. Its tools include booking calendars, catering and beverage management, resource and staff management, CRM, attendee management, budgets, invoicing, reporting and floor plans. The EPConnect suite adds online bookings, event registrations, payments and related management tools. Its online payments module integrates with more than 135 payment gateways, including PayPal, Square, Stripe, Authorize.net and QuickBooks. An invoice export module supports accounting software including QuickBooks, MYOB, Sage 50, Microsoft Dynamics GP, SAP, Adept and Pastel. EventPro is available as on-premise software or as a cloud service. The on-premise edition is Windows-based and requires Windows 11 or newer and Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 or newer. EventPro Cloud works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone and Android devices with internet access. A two-way API is available but requires a third-party or custom-developed program. Pricing depends on modules, users, rooms, training and organizational requirements, and is available on request.

GridX Events is web-based software for managing marquee, banquet hall, catering, event-planning, and hotel event-space operations. It follows work from leads and quotations through bookings, event costs, and per-event profit and loss. Venues can build quotes from reusable service and catering packages with per-guest costs, discounts, and taxes, then send a branded PDF and portal link for approval. Bookings support staged payment schedules, and the availability calendar checks blackout dates and overlapping reservations. Menus can include courses, per-guest rates, and dietary tags; a printable Banquet Event Order can assemble the timeline, menu, headcount, layout, staffing, and requirements. Procurement, inventory use, labour, and direct expenses can be assigned to events and rolled up with revenue into a P&L. Accounting features include a double-entry general ledger with automatic posting from invoices and receipts, service-tax invoice lines, and tenant tax profiles for NTN/STRN. Installment and overdue-balance reminders can go by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, and online payments can reconcile with booking schedules and the ledger. The free Venue Base Plan includes leads, quotations, bookings, calendar, teams, expenses, ledger, roles, permissions, and 2FA. A free trial is also offered with all modules unlocked and no credit card required.
