Bizzabo is a serious enterprise event management platform — it handles virtual, hybrid, and in-person conferences at scale with deep CRM integrations and a full suite of analytics. If you are running a large enterprise annual conference with a dedicated event tech team and a six-figure platform budget, Bizzabo is worth evaluating. But for mid-market teams running 2–10 events per year, the enterprise sales process, weeks-long implementation timeline, and opaque pricing model create friction that Event Passport PRO eliminates entirely.
Bizzabo does not publish its pricing. Like most enterprise event platforms, it is sold through a sales process with custom quotes based on organization size, event volume, and required integrations. Contracts are typically structured as annual agreements and require sign-off from multiple stakeholders before you can even run a test event.
Event Passport PRO publishes its pricing on our website. You can start for free — no credit card, no sales call — and see the full PRO plan cost before you commit. The PRO plan is a flat monthly fee plus a small per-paid-ticket fee. There are no setup fees, no implementation charges, and no annual lock-in. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
For growing event teams who need to justify platform costs to a budget owner, the difference between "pricing available on request" and a published pricing page is significant. EPP was designed to be approved without a procurement process.
The most common reason mid-market teams leave Bizzabo is cost — either the contract comes up for renewal and the price increase is not justified, or the team has grown past the scale where enterprise pricing made sense but not yet reached the scale where the enterprise feature set is needed.
Migrating is straightforward because Event Passport PRO is designed to be self-serve from day one. There is no data migration required — attendees download the app and check in via QR code. Your historical event data can remain in Bizzabo for record-keeping while you run new events on EPP.
Most teams that switch are fully configured and running their first event within 24 hours of signing up. The setup workflow covers experience creation, QR code generation, agenda configuration, sponsor booth setup, and attendee app customization — all without a customer success manager or implementation consultant.
Yes. Event Passport PRO is a strong Bizzabo alternative for mid-market event teams who want enterprise-grade engagement features — AI networking, sponsor analytics, multi-track agendas, gamification — without the enterprise sales process, implementation timeline, and pricing opacity that comes with Bizzabo.
Bizzabo does not publish pricing. It is sold through an enterprise sales process with custom annual contracts. Event Passport PRO publishes its pricing: a free tier and a PRO plan with a flat monthly fee plus a small per-paid-ticket fee. You can see the full cost before signing up and get started without a sales conversation.
For mid-market events, yes. Both platforms offer attendee networking, ticketing and registration, multi-track agendas, sponsor management, post-event surveys, and a native mobile app. Event Passport PRO adds unique gamification features — QR stamp passports and live leaderboards — that Bizzabo does not offer as a core product.
Most Event Passport PRO users are fully configured and running their first event within a day of signing up — often under 30 minutes for a standard conference check-in setup. Bizzabo implementations typically involve onboarding calls, platform configuration by a customer success team, and a multi-week setup process before you can run a live event.
You can sign up for Event Passport PRO and run your next event on it before your Bizzabo contract expires. Because EPP requires no data migration, there is no technical blocker to running both platforms in parallel during a transition period. This lets you evaluate EPP on a real event before fully committing.
