Bevy (bevy.com) alternative: event67, scoped to the event rather than the year
Bevy (bevy.com) is a community platform: chapters, user groups, forums and the events those communities put on across a calendar year. event67 is a conference companion app for a specific event, shipped under the organiser's own name in the App Store and Google Play, charged per attendee who actually activates, with a ceiling on any single event. One of those products is measured in months of member engagement and the other in two days of a programme, and that difference decides most of this page.

Are you buying the year, or are you buying the days?
The disambiguation matters twice over here, so let us do it first: this page is about Bevy (bevy.com) (Bevy is a trademark of its respective owner), the community platform, and not about any of the unrelated projects and products that share the word. With that settled, the real question is scope. Bevy's own product page describes chapter and user-group management with group teams and permissions, community forums and an engagement hub, event publishing with registration, ticketing and payment processing, a virtual conference platform using HLS streaming and WebRTC stages and sessions, single sign-on covering SAML2, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect alongside social sign-on, integrations with Marketo, Salesforce, HubSpot, Eloqua, Slack and Google Calendar, plus custom domains, branded hub pages and community analytics (bevy.com product page, accessed 3 September 2026).
That is a system for running an audience continuously. event67 has no community platform at all — no membership records, no dues or renewals, no chapter hierarchy, no forum, no year-round engagement surface of any kind. If the requirement on your desk is keeping four hundred user groups organised across thirty cities, event67 answers none of it and no amount of feature detail below will change that.
There is one place the two overlap, and one honest thing to say about it. Bevy's product page states that its conference mobile app is custom-branded, can be white-labeled to your brand, is offered to organisers through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and that 'Powered by Bevy' logos can be removed from both the Conference and Community interfaces (accessed 3 September 2026). So the branded-app argument we make against most of this category does not land cleanly here, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What is left is scope and shape: an event-scoped tool bought at a rate you can compute yourself, against a platform bought as an ongoing arrangement. Bevy's pricing page publishes no tier names and no figures on 3 September 2026; it offers a pricing calculator and a demo booking, and asks buyers to choose between three usage models — a community forum, user groups with events, and an all-in-one combination — which are configuration choices rather than priced tiers. That same page publishes no free tier and no trial.
The asks we hear from summit organisers — event67's own opinion
What follows is our own view of the conversations we have with people who already run a community somewhere and are now buying software for one conference. It describes what they ask us for. It makes no assertion about any other product, and it should be weighed as the interested opinion it is.
- A tool that ends when the event ends
- No profile for attendees to create first
- A rate they can work out unaided
- Moderation for photos and questions in one queue
- Sponsor tiers visible inside the app
- A bill that arrives after the event
Taking those in order against what our product inventory actually verifies. event67 is scoped to an event record, so there is nothing to maintain between summits. Attendees claim an invite and open the app; the meter counts that activation and nothing earlier, so an imported list and a delivered invite both cost nothing. The rate and the per-event ceiling are published, and the console runs a live meter from the day the event goes live. Photo approvals and Q&A approvals share a single approvals page, with auto-hide the moment a photo is reported and a choice between admin-only, moderated and open albums. Sponsors appear on a tier-ordered page running Platinum through Bronze, with logos, bios and websites. And the charge lands 48 hours after the event finishes, with the amount emailed before any card is touched.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Bevy (bevy.com)'s published model is quote-based — not published. The two are not the same unit, so the figures are not directly comparable.
Every event67 figure on this page is generated at build time from event67's own pricing library rather than typed into the page, so the page and the meter cannot disagree. event67 publishes no performance, capacity or throughput measurement on this page, and makes no comparative measurement of any other product.
All third-party names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. event67 is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any company named on this page. Comparison details are accurate as at the dates shown.
A 600-person summit, from console to invoice
The organiser opens an event in the console, applies the theme so that logo, colours and typography reach every attendee screen, and imports the delegate list by CSV. The theme editor checks each colour pair against WCAG AA and reports what it found — a warning and a confirmation, never a block on saving. Bulk invites go out with per-recipient delivery tracking, and because invites are unlimited and unmetered, a generous list carries no cost.
During the summit itself, delegates work a filterable day-by-day schedule with tracks, star sessions into My Picks, RSVP to workshops where capacity is enforced server-side with automatic waitlist promotion, and scan each other's QR codes to connect in the corridor. Live Q&A takes questions and upvotes with organiser moderation; polls run from the session screen; reactions stream across the room during the keynote; session feedback and ratings go straight back to the organiser. A shared photo album collects the weekend. On the console side the same team watches a live arrivals count against the guest list, publishes or schedules announcements that deep-link to the exact post, runs admin-only team chat with reactions, replies and delivery ticks, and reads engagement analytics live rather than in a post-event deck. Apple Wallet passes issue from the event record and refresh from the backend while the summit runs, subject to a signing certificate being configured.
The exact arithmetic: 600 activated attendees, minus the 50 that are included at no charge, gives 550 billable attendees at $5 each — $2,750 for the summit. Run the same programme at 1,000 activated attendees and it is $4,750; run it at 2,500 and it is still $4,750, because the per-event ceiling has already bitten. A summit that draws only 50 activated attendees costs $0. Derived from event67's published pricing curve, not entered by hand on this page.
When Bevy (bevy.com) is the better fit
If the conference is the visible tip of something that runs all year, buy the platform that runs all year. Bevy's product page sets out chapter and user-group management with group teams and permissions, community forums with an engagement hub, custom domains and branded hub pages, and community analytics (accessed 3 September 2026). A developer-relations or community team whose real job is keeping dozens of local groups alive between summits is buying continuity, and continuity is precisely the thing event67 does not sell. We have no member records, no chapter structure, no forum and no year-round home for an audience. Buying us for that job would leave you with a very good two days and nothing on either side of them.
Two more, both concrete. Bevy publishes event registration, ticketing and payment processing as part of the platform (accessed 3 September 2026); event67 sells nothing to attendees and never touches their money, so choosing us means a second tool for the commercial half. And Bevy's product page lists single sign-on across SAML2, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect plus social sign-on, together with Marketo, Salesforce, HubSpot, Eloqua, Slack and Google Calendar integrations (accessed 3 September 2026) — an identity and marketing-attribution surface that event67 simply does not have. If your IT function has a sign-on standard and your marketing function needs event activity landing in a CRM automatically, that is a real requirement list and we do not meet it.
Worth repeating from further up, because it cuts against us: Bevy's conference mobile app is described on its own product page as custom-branded and white-labelable through the App Store or Google Play (accessed 3 September 2026). Organisers who assume a community platform means a shared, vendor-branded container should check that assumption here rather than take it from us.
What event67 does not do
Stated openly so that a demo never ends on a surprise. None of the following exists in event67 today:
- Membership records, dues, renewals or recurring payments
- Chapters, user groups and year-round community forums
- Attendee registration, ticketing and payment collection
- Virtual stages, streamed sessions and on-demand video
- Gamification: points, leaderboards and challenges
- Exhibitor lead retrieval and booth badge scanning
- Onsite badge printing, kiosks or printer hardware
- AI matchmaking and a 1:1 meeting scheduler
- CEU, CME or PDH credit tracking and certificates
- In-app account deletion, handled instead by email and a web page
Our forms are worth one extra line of honesty: they collect responses, not money. There is no paid form and no payment step anywhere in the product.
If you do move the event, this is the shape of the work
Separate the community from the conference
Most organisers in this position are not replacing anything — they are carving one event out of a year-round platform and running it elsewhere. Establish which records stay behind before you touch anything.
Export the summit list only
Name, email and any profile fields worth carrying, for the delegates attending this event. event67 takes a CSV. The community database stays where it lives.
Build the programme in the console
Sessions, tracks, rooms, speakers and sponsors, plus workshop capacities if you are running RSVPs. For a 600-person, multi-track summit this is a day's work spread over a week.
Theme, invite, watch the meter
Set logo, colours and typography with the WCAG AA advisory running alongside. Send bulk invites with per-recipient delivery tracking. The console meter counts activations from publication onward and the charge follows 48 hours after the event ends.
The awkward part is not data, it is identity. Your members already have an account somewhere with a profile they have curated, and event67 asks them to install a separate app and claim an invite for this one event. For a community whose members log in weekly, that reads as a step backwards even when the app itself is better suited to the room. Anyone running an event that is genuinely inseparable from the community around it should weigh that friction seriously before moving.

- $5
- per activated attendee beyond 50

Questions people actually ask
Can event67 replace a community platform between events?
No, and it is not close. event67 has no membership database, no dues or renewals, no chapter or user-group structure and no forum. It is scoped to an event record and goes quiet when the event ends. Bevy (bevy.com) publishes chapter and user-group management, community forums and an engagement hub on its own product page (accessed 3 September 2026). Organisers who need the year covered should keep a community platform and treat event67, if at all, as the app for one conference.
How much does Bevy (bevy.com) cost?
As at 3 September 2026, Bevy (bevy.com) does not publish list pricing and directs buyers to request a quote. Its pricing page carries no tier names and no figures; it offers a pricing calculator and a demo booking, and asks buyers to choose between three usage models that are configuration choices rather than priced tiers. We will not estimate a figure, and we have none to estimate from. Check Bevy's pricing page for current information.
What does event67 cost for a 600-person summit?
The first 50 activated attendees are free, every activated attendee after that is $5, and one event never exceeds $4,750. So a 600-person summit is $2,750. Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app — importing them costs nothing and delivering an invite costs nothing. Local flat prices exist in EUR, GBP, CAD and AUD; those are separate published prices, not conversions of the dollar figure.
Does Bevy (bevy.com) offer an app under my own brand?
Yes, by its own account. Bevy's product page states that its conference mobile app is custom-branded and can be white-labeled to your brand, is offered to organisers through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and that 'Powered by Bevy' logos can be removed from both the Conference and Community interfaces (accessed 3 September 2026). We flag this because a branded store listing is usually our clearest point of difference in this category, and here it is not.
Is there a free way to evaluate event67?
Yes. One live event, up to 50 activated attendees, with the whole feature set, the full branded theme and bulk invites. No card and no trial clock, so the evaluation is a real event rather than a sandbox. Bevy's pricing page publishes neither a free tier nor a trial as at 3 September 2026; it offers a pricing calculator and a demo booking.
Do attendees need to create an account to use event67?
They claim an invite and open the app, and that is the whole onboarding. There is no separate community profile to maintain, and the meter only counts someone once both of those steps have happened. Attendees choose what appears on their own profile — photo, interests and links — and can leave it sparse. One gap to state plainly: event67 has no in-app account deletion, so deletion runs through email and a web page instead.
