Grenadine vs Sessionize

Grenadine is cloud-based event management software for planning, managing, and running events. Its tools cover registration, online ticketing, schedule building, event websites, mobile apps, exhibitor lead services, and self-serve portals. Organizers can set ticket types and currencies, collect custom registration questions, and use waitlists for sessions or activities. Grenadine generates a public micro-website for each event, with responsive layouts for computers, tablets, and phones. Event apps for iOS and Android can include schedules, push notifications, attendee profiles, messaging, and e-ticketing. Documented JSON web service APIs provide two-way programmatic access to event data, with Swagger UI documentation. Virtual sessions can use Zoom, Vimeo, YouTube, Jitsi, and other services. Ticket payments use Stripe; enterprise customers can also use Moneris or Paysafe. Grenadine is paid, offers a free trial, and lists pricing on request. A third-party listing gives a price of $79.95 a month, billed per feature, per month; the maker’s current pricing page was not found.

Sessionize is cloud-based event content management software for organizing in-person or online events. Its workflow covers calls for speakers, proposal evaluation, speaker and session management, and schedule building. Organizers can create submission forms with custom fields, submission limits, deadlines, and agent mode. Evaluation options include star ratings, Yes/No decisions, and comparisons. Schedules can be arranged by drag and drop, embedded on websites, or retrieved as JSON or XML. The included attendee app works on phones, tablets, and desktops, supports offline use, and lets attendees build personal schedules. API integration and embedding support event websites, mobile apps, and WordPress sites. Sessionize lists unlimited sessions, speakers, team members, organizers, and evaluators. Its free trial requires no credit card. Community events can use the free plan, while a Professional event costs $499, paid once for one event occurrence.
