Looking for an alternative to Cvent?
Cvent built one of the most comprehensive event suites in the industry. But that comprehensiveness comes at a cost: steep learning curves, fragmented modules, a high annual license fee with add-ons for every meaningful capability, and limited AI-powered engagement after registration closes.
Swapcard is the modern alternative. Built for engagement, not just registration. Intuitive. Fast to implement. Ready in weeks.

Four reasons event teams move from Cvent to Swapcard
Modern UX teams actually use
Cvent requires 3–6 months to productivity. Swapcard's 4.6/5 G2 rating means teams are up and running in weeks, not quarters.
AI engagement beyond the registration form
Cvent excels at forms and workflows. Swapcard adds behavioral AI that drives connections, qualifies leads, and generates exhibitor ROI after registration closes.
All-in-one pricing, not module stacking
Cvent charges separately for Registration, Attendee Hub, OnArrival, and Lead Capture via an annual license plus add-on fees. Swapcard includes everything in one transparent price.
Hosted buyer programs, fully automated
Cvent requires extensive manual coordination and setup to run hosted buyer or VIP programs. Swapcard automates matching, capacity limits, and priority rules — no operational overhead.
Why organizers choose Swapcard to replace Cvent
