What Accelevents' customers are saying

We looked at Cvent, but their pricing model was not flexible at all. Accelevents had all the features I was looking for – notably ease of use and an intuitive interface. And I liked the fair and transparent pricing model.

We researched other vendors, but as a customer-centric company, good customer service was a big factor in our decision. We appreciated having a dedicated account rep and receiving comprehensive training and support. Accelevents provided technical and experiential expertise to help us make decisions.

Our CSM jumped to connect with us regularly, and when we needed quick answers – at virtually any time of the day – we were able to reach their support team within minutes. The Accelevents team asked for and implemented feedback quickly, resulting in a great partnership through to the very end of our conference.

We used to use Cvent, which was fine but it felt like everything was disconnected. In Accelevents, everything from the mobile app to the badge printing works well together and feels like one experience. It kind of reminds me of using HubSpot.

FAQ

Cvent builds each quote around your contract, so there's no single list price. Teams who move to us from Cvent describe a structure with several parts: a base license, a per-registration fee, separate licensing for the mobile app and onsite check-in, and an uplift at renewal. If you're comparing quotes, ask your rep for the per-registration rate, what happens when you exceed your contracted volume, and the renewal escalation percentage. 

Accelevents pricing plans start at $7,500 for Professional, and $13,500 for Business. Every plan includes unlimited admin seats, integrations, and 24/7 support, with no transaction fees and no long-term contract required. Your event volume, attendee count, and the modules you turn on drive the price. We will price your real event calendar on the demo, not a generic package.

The platforms most often evaluated alongside Cvent are Accelevents, Swoogo, Bizzabo, and RainFocus, and they solve different problems. The right fit usually comes down to three questions: how many events you run in a year, how many people need admin access, and whether onsite and app functionality need to live in the same system as registration. Accelevents runs registration, check-in, badging, and the event app from one setup, with unlimited admin seats included. 

No, earlier is easier. Most teams are fully operational within a few weeks of kickoff, so the migration itself is rarely the long part. But allow time for your legal and security reviews, as well as exporting your history from Cvent before access closes. Starting a few months out means your cutover happens when you want it to, rather than when the contract forces it.

It comes with you. We pull registrations, attendees, speakers, and exhibitors and import and validate them before your cutover date. Events already open for registration migrate first, with partial payment records intact. You decide what comes across. Some teams take the move as a chance to leave duplicate-heavy legacy records behind and start clean, while archiving the history their finance team needs.

Yes, your team can easily build event sites in the website builder - no HTML, no design ticket, and no agency required. You control layout, branding, and your own domain, and you can publish changes yourself. Every plan includes unlimited admin seats, so access isn't rationed by license count. You can save recurring events as templates, so there’s no need for a rebuild.

Yes. When an attendee registers, Accelevents creates or updates a contact or lead in Salesforce and adds them as a campaign member, using your own field mapping and duplicate matching rules. You decide whether registrations land as leads or contacts, which order form questions and order details come across, and whether existing Salesforce records get pulled back into Accelevents as registrants. Check-in status, session activity, and cancellations update the same record, so follow-up runs off Salesforce data instead of a post-event CSV.

With Accelevents, you have 24/7 real-time human help with an average response time of 21 seconds. Dedicated account guidance, training, and regular check-ins before your event reduce risk, accelerate decisions, and keep sessions on track.

Accelevents is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and fully GDPR compliant, with single sign-on (SSO) through Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping Identity, and Salesforce. You also get custom user roles, multi-factor authentication, and security audit logs, so you control exactly who sees what. Send your security team our way, and we'll share the full documentation before you sign anything.
