Eventus vs FairUp

Eventus helps recruiters, universities and associations run events and source candidates. Its event apps include interactive schedules, navigation, checklists, real-time updates, analytics, push notifications and FAQs. Virtual career fairs use digital exhibitor booths where candidates and recruiters can network by video call, and AI-driven social media recruitment ads are available for sourcing candidates. Campus app modules cover schedules, surveys, event portals, points of interest, custom lists and tailored profiles; the campus app page lists SSO, SIS and LMS integrations. The Custom tier supports multiple events in a branded app with more control over theme, colors and logos. Community feed and chat messaging are listed as add-ons. Trial events on the event app page can be accessed by the first 10 attendees. The Value plan is priced on request, with the first 10 users free, then per-user pricing. The Custom plan is priced on request for events over 1,000 attendees. Eventus is based in Houston, Texas, and says it was founded in 2013 to bring technology to higher education.

FairUp is a web platform for planning, running, and evaluating career events in digital, hybrid, or physical formats. Organizers can create event pages and manage exhibitors, participants, matching, communications, bookings, and scheduling; dashboards provide statistics and analysis. Participants can create profiles, upload CVs and documents, view exhibitor profiles and jobs, use profile-based matchmaking, chat with exhibitors, and schedule appointments. The free Community plan costs nothing and includes unlimited guests, participant management, chat and networking, ticket sales, and payment, but no exhibitors. Starter costs €990, paid once and supports up to 30 exhibitors and three team members. Professional costs €1,990, paid once, with up to 60 exhibitors and five team members; Professional plus costs €2,990, paid once, with up to 120 exhibitors and ten team members, with more available on request. Stripe usually charges 2.9% + €0.25 per transaction in addition to FairUp’s platform fee. The platform is web-based. FairUp describes encryption, access controls, and hosting in Germany or the EU as security measures, and states an average technical availability target of at least 98% monthly, subject to exclusions.
