Frequently asked questions
Is WebMobi really cheaper than Cvent?
+
Public Cvent contracts in the mid-market segment typically land between $75K–$120K/yr (G2, Reddit r/eventprofs). A comparable WebMobi configuration — 3 events/yr at Pro tier with networking + lead retrieval — runs ~$7K–$12K/yr. That's an 8–10× total cost of ownership delta.
How long does migration from Cvent take?
+
Average 11 days from contract to first live event. Week 1 is data export + page rebuild; week 2 is CRM rewiring + dry run. Cvent's own quote for adding Attendee Hub mid-contract often exceeds that.
Does WebMobi support Salesforce like Cvent does?
+
Yes — native Salesforce integration plus HubSpot, Marketo, and webhook/Zapier for everything else. Cvent's native deep CDC is Salesforce-only; HubSpot/Marketo flow through middleware.
What about on-site badge printing?
+
WebMobi supports BYO badge printers (Zebra, Brother) plus a hosted on-site badge service. We don't lock you into proprietary kiosks.
Will Cvent let me out of my contract early?
+
Not usually mid-term. The standard pattern is to run WebMobi in parallel for one event cycle, prove ROI, then non-renew Cvent at term end. We'll help structure the parallel pilot.
