EventPro vs Metro-Tec Rentals

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.

Metro-Tec Rentals combines facility scheduling, rental requests, invoicing, and reporting for public spaces used by schools, cities, and community operators. Outside groups can register, view available times on a branded schedule without logging in, and submit requests for staff approval. Administrators can set insurance and document requirements, collect terms-of-use acceptance and registration answers, and review submissions by organization. Rates can vary by facility, time, renter group, overhead allocation, or special-event override, with changes scheduled for an effective date. The system creates branded PDF or Excel invoices from booked hours and supports recording external payments, voiding, and resending invoices. Reports cover utilization, underused hours, availability, revenue, forecasts, and audit history, with row-level exports. Online card and ACH payments through Stripe Connect are an optional add-on for monthly subscribers and included in the renter-funded plan. Metro-Tec works on the web and as an installable progressive web app on iOS, Android, and desktop. Plans include standard email support and begin with a 30-day guided trial without a required credit card.
