Whova alternative: compare ConferenceTap and Whova for your conference
Compare the attendee experience, organizer tools, and cost of running your conference with either platform.
Two conference apps to consider
Both platforms bring event information, attendee networking, and organizer tools together. The useful question is how each one fits the way you run your conference.
ConferenceTap offers One Event and Unlimited Events plans with unlimited registrations, custom branding, and 1:1 onboarding on paid plans.
Whova offers event management and attendee engagement tools with event-specific quotes and multi-event packages.

| Your decision | ConferenceTap | What to ask Whova |
|---|---|---|
| Event calendar | One Event from $2,500, or Unlimited Events for your calendar. | Which events are covered, and for how long? |
| Audience | Unlimited. We do not count attendees. | What limits apply to registrations and concurrent live sessions? |
| Your brand | Yours. Your logo, your colors, your banner. Our name comes off. | Where can we use our logo, colors, and event identity? |
| Getting started | We set up your event with you live and train your committee. Included, not a services line. | What setup help is included, and what will our team need to do? |
| Ticketing | 3.5% per paid ticket, plus Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢. Revenue settles in your own Stripe account. Free tickets cost nothing. | What is the total fee, and who pays it? |
| Event-day needs | Everything on this page, in every paid plan. Nothing is a module. | Can we walk through our exact attendee and organizer workflows? |
Whova information checked September 15, 2026 using its product overview, pricing page, and multi-event pricing FAQ. Third-party pricing guides (for example eventify.io) report a Whova per-ticket fee of about 3% plus $0.99 on paid tickets. That figure is third-party and unconfirmed; Whova's own pricing page does not publish it, so ask Whova. Confirm current terms and event-specific requirements with each provider.

What to check before switching
Bring a sample agenda and fictional attendee records to your evaluation. Agree on the migration work before committing to a new platform.
- Identify the registration and membership systems you need to keep.
- Ask to import a sample agenda and attendee list, then inspect the result.
- Rehearse attendee access, a session change, and an event-day support request.
- Confirm setup responsibilities, data exports, contract terms, and the total quote.
These are evaluation steps, not a promise of automatic migration or compatibility with every existing system.

Comparison questions
Is ConferenceTap less expensive than Whova?
Compare current quotes for your own event. Whova does not publish a standard price list, and the total depends on your requirements. Third-party guides report a Whova per-ticket fee of about 3% plus $0.99 on paid tickets; that is unconfirmed, so ask Whova. Our published ticketing fee is 3.5% plus Stripe processing fees. We can provide ConferenceTap pricing for your event or event calendar.
Does Whova offer multi-event pricing?
Yes. Whova’s published FAQ says it offers multi-event package deals when events are committed together. ConferenceTap offers One Event and Unlimited Events plans. Confirm the coverage and contract terms in each quote.
How do I decide which app is easier for my team?
Ask to complete the same tasks in each product: add a session, update a speaker, find an attendee’s schedule, and check someone in. A demo or trial will tell you more than a feature checklist alone.
Can I evaluate ConferenceTap before choosing?
Yes. Request a personal walkthrough or start a free trial. The trial includes up to 100 registrations and events up to 2 hours.
