Same Philosophy. About an Eighth of the Price.
Credit where due: Swoogo also believes in flat pricing, unlimited events and zero per-ticket fees. The difference is mostly the bill. Their entry plan is $11,800 a year. Ours is $125 a month. Here is the like-for-like.

The Honest Verdict
The rare comparison where we agree with the other side about how pricing should work.
Choose eventcloud if...
- ✓ You want the same model for less. Flat, unlimited, no per-ticket fees, from $1,500 a year instead of $11,800.
- ✓ You want monthly flexibility. Swoogo is annual only; we do monthly or annual and you can cancel anytime.
- ✓ You want on-site extras included. Badge designer and QR check-in ship with every plan, not as add-ons.
- ✓ One seat is enough. Our minimum is a single user.
Choose Swoogo if...
- → You need deep conditional logic and 30+ pre-built integrations out of the box.
- → You run webinars and virtual events. Their Event Hub covers formats we deliberately do not.
- → Their support pedigree matters to you: first response inside 15 minutes and the G2 badges to show for it.

Two Flat Bills, One Decimal Point Apart
A two-person team running unlimited events for a year.
Two full users, monthly flexibility, badges and check-in included.
Professional plan: one full user plus one reporting user, on an annual contract.
Both platforms are genuinely unlimited on events and registrations with no per-ticket fees, which we salute. Swoogo list price from their public pricing page. Their add-ons (Go Onsite Pro, Go Attend, SSO, extra domains) are priced separately.
