Both platforms handle registration, onsite check-in, the event app and exhibitors. The differences are in how you are priced, how exhibitors get their booths, and how quickly your team gets comfortable with the software.

Key differences
Cvent does not publish its prices: its Professional and Enterprise tiers are quoted, and the free trial moves to a per-registration fee plus a revenue share once you go live. Eventdex quotes your program as a one-time package or a monthly plan, sized to your attendees, events and modules.

In Cvent's Exhibitor Portal a floor plan is an uploaded image with booth pins on it. On Eventdex the floor plan is interactive: exhibitors see what is available, choose a booth and book it online, and your team sees the change straight away.

Capterra reviewers rate Cvent 4.2 out of 5 for ease of use. Eventdex is rated 4.6 - and the Eventdex team does the setup with you rather than leaving it to your staff.
