Swapcard vs. CoreApps: Modern AI Platform vs. Legacy Event App

Looking for an alternative to CoreApps?

CoreApps built mobile event apps for associations and conferences. But the platform has not kept pace with modern engagement expectations: limited AI, dated interfaces, basic exhibitor tools, and technology that struggles at enterprise scale.

‍

Swapcard is the modern alternative. AI-powered. Exhibitor-focused. Built for ROI.

Why Swapcard

Four reasons associations and conference organizers move from CoreApps to Swapcard

AI-powered engagement, not static content delivery

CoreApps delivers session schedules and exhibitor listings. Swapcard's Sherlock AI proactively drives connections, session discovery, and exhibitor lead generation in real time.

Exhibitor tools that prove ROI and drive renewals

CoreApps provides basic lead capture and listings. Swapcard adds AI scoring, offline capability, behavioral analytics, and real-time CRM sync exhibitors can demonstrate.

Modern UX that drives adoption

CoreApps users report dated interfaces. Swapcard earns a 4.6/5 G2 rating with 70%+ attendee adoption and a consistent mobile and web experience.

Enterprise security and proven scale

CoreApps has no publicly disclosed SOC2 or ISO 27001 certification. Swapcard holds both, proven at events from 50 to 100,000+ attendees worldwide.
