Looking for an alternative to Hivebrite?
Hivebrite is one of the best community management platforms available — purpose-built for alumni networks, associations, and member organizations that need year-round engagement. But if your community runs events, you already know where Hivebrite ends: no trade show tools, no exhibitor lead capture, no AI matchmaking, and basic ticketing that does not scale to a conference floor.
Swapcard is the event-first alternative. Year-round community plus enterprise event management — in one platform.
Four reasons associations and community-driven organizations choose Swapcard to complement or replace Hivebrite.
Enterprise event management Hivebrite was not built for
Hivebrite offers basic ticketing and event listings. Swapcard delivers full-scale event management: AI-powered registration, onsite check-in and badge printing, exhibitor management, and hosted buyer automation.
AI that drives connections across events and community
Hivebrite uses Orbiit for AI matching — a third-party integration. Swapcard's behavioral AI is native, drives 27% of all interactions, and learns from event and year-round community behavior simultaneously.
Exhibitor tools Hivebrite does not have
Hivebrite has no exhibitor marketplace, no lead capture, and no organizer revenue model. Swapcard delivers 2.5x more qualified exhibitor leads and lets organizers monetize digital upgrades.
SOC2 Type II certification Hivebrite lacks
Hivebrite holds ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS. SOC2 Type II is absent from their security page. Swapcard holds both SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001.
