Looking for an alternative to Bizzabo?
Bizzabo is a well-designed event platform with a strong conference pedigree and a genuinely innovative NFC smart badge. But networking, CRM integrations, a custom-branded app, and sponsor tools are all paid add-ons on top of an annual license fee — and the platform was built for B2B conferences, not trade shows.
Swapcard is the all-in-one alternative. Everything included. Built for exhibitor ROI.

Four reasons trade show and association organizers choose Swapcard over Bizzabo.
True all-in-one — no add-on tax
Bizzabo's networking, CRM, custom-branded app, sponsor portal, SSO, and API access are all paid add-ons. Swapcard includes them in the core platform.
Intent data beats proximity data
Klik SmartBadge captures who stood near whom. Swapcard's behavioral AI captures who viewed your booth and attended your session — with 44% of leads generated from digital booth visits.
A revenue model for organizers
Bizzabo has no mechanism for organizers to monetize lead capture. Swapcard lets organizers set exhibitor pricing directly — creating a new, recurring revenue stream.
Year-round engagement, not event-by-event
Bizzabo has no community layer. Swapcard keeps attendees and exhibitors connected between events — critical for associations and membership organizations that live year-round.
Why organizers choose Swapcard to replace Bizzabo
