Looking for an alternative to Whova?

Whova works well for small, budget-conscious events. But as your events grow, the gaps grow with them — basic AI, limited customization, weak exhibitor tools, and a platform that struggles at enterprise scale.

Swapcard is the enterprise alternative. Proven AI. Superior customization. Built for ROI.

Why Swapcard

Four reasons growing event organizations move from Whova to Swapcard

icon-team collaboration

AI that goes beyond profile tags

Whova matches on tags. Swapcard analyzes session views, searches, and booth visits to deliver 2.5x more qualified leads.

icon-contact-management

Exhibitor tools that prove ROI

Whova provides basic listings and scanning. Swapcard adds AI scoring, offline capture, behavioral analytics, and real-time CRM sync.

icon-drive-ROI

Enterprise scale and security

Whova is not publicly SOC2 or ISO 27001 certified. Swapcard holds both, plus GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS — for events of any size.
