event67 vs Sched (sched.com)
The one-sentence difference: event67 meters an event by the attendees who actually opened a branded app that is included as standard, while Sched (sched.com) sells attendee capacity in blocks of 250 with deeper session and speaker tooling and a quote-only branded-app add-on.

Schedule-first against app-first
Sched (sched.com) (Sched is a trademark of Sched LLC) grew out of scheduling and it shows in its published feature set: session scheduling and personalised agendas, speaker profiles and speaker tools, call for papers with dynamic forms and conditional question logic, conflict detection and prevention, registration and ticketing, attendance tracking and check-in, customisable badges, sponsor and exhibitor tooling with lead capture, and professional-development hours tracking (accessed 3 September 2026). It is a conference operations product with an app attached.
event67 went the other way. The app is the product: a branded store listing, a schedule with personal agendas, workshop RSVPs, QR connections, live Q&A, polls, crowd reactions, session ratings, a moderated photo album, sponsor pages, push and Wallet passes, with an organizer console around it. There is no call for papers, no ticketing, no badges, no exhibitor tooling and no credit tracking.
So the two overlap on the agenda and the attendee experience, and diverge in opposite directions from there — Sched toward running the conference's paperwork, event67 toward what happens in the room and on the phone. The commercial shapes follow: capacity bought in blocks, against people counted when they arrive.
Side by side, with a source on every row
Everything in the Sched (sched.com) column comes from a page we loaded ourselves. The superscript on a cell is its source: it links to that page and the date it was loaded, in the Sources section below. Nothing is inferred, and a row we could not source is removed rather than softened. Sched (sched.com) may change its pricing at any time; check Sched (sched.com)'s pricing page for current figures.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Sched (sched.com)'s published model is per-event pricing sized by attendee count, with a per-event and an unlimited-events toggle. 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.

The same room, priced on each side
A 270-person conference on event67's curve. On the left, what that costs on event67, computed from our own pricing library rather than typed into this page. On the right, only what Sched (sched.com) publishes itself.

Sched (sched.com)
No seat field on this side, and no total. Working out what Sched (sched.com) would charge for this room would mean estimating a number they have not published, and an estimate presented as a comparison is exactly the claim we will not make. What follows is only what Sched (sched.com) states itself.
- As published on Sched (sched.com)'s pricing page on 3 September 2026, Launch, starting price at the 250-attendee default is listed at Starting at $600 /event.
- As published on Sched (sched.com)'s pricing page on 3 September 2026, Boost, starting price at the 250-attendee default is listed at Starting at $1500 /event.
- As published on Sched (sched.com)'s pricing page on 3 September 2026, Ultra, starting price at the 250-attendee default is listed at Starting at $2250 /event.

Where Sched is the better choice
- You run several events a year. Sched's unlimited-events option covers them within one attendee band; event67 meters each event separately.
- You run a call for papers. Sched publishes CFP landing pages, dynamic forms, multi-speaker support and conditional question logic; event67 has no submission workflow at all.
- Delegates attend for credit. Sched publishes professional-development hours tracking and reporting; event67 has no CEU, CME or PDH tracking and no certificates.
- You sell tickets or print badges. Sched publishes registration and ticketing and customisable event badges; event67 does neither.
- Exhibitors need lead retrieval or a floor plan. Sched publishes lead capture, lead retrieval, an exhibitor directory and floor-plan map upload on higher tiers; event67 has none of it.
Every one of those is a hard exclusion on our side rather than a roadmap item, and all five are sourced to Sched's own pricing page, accessed 3 September 2026.
Where event67 is the better choice
- The branded store listing matters and you would rather not quote for it. In event67 it is standard on every event; on Sched it is an add-on with a 'Get a Quote' button on all three tiers (accessed 3 September 2026).
- You want to pay for people, not for capacity. event67 counts activated attendees; Sched's slider buys attendees in sets of 250.
- Engagement beyond the agenda is the point. Chat with reactions, replies and delivery ticks, live crowd reactions, a moderated shared photo album and Apple Wallet passes are in event67's base product.
- You run one flagship event. No subscription, no capacity block, and a fixed worst case for that event.
- You want to start today without a card. event67's free tier is a standalone live event up to 50 activated attendees.
If you are switching, this is the shape of it
Two questions decide it before any migration work starts. How many events do you run in a year, and do your delegates need credit hours recorded? A multi-event calendar or a credit requirement points at Sched, and we would say so on a call rather than let you find out in month two.
If neither applies, the move is data entry: export the attendee list, import by CSV, rebuild sessions, tracks, rooms, speakers and sponsors, set the theme, send invites with delivery tracking. Prove it on the free 50-attendee tier first. Budget an afternoon per track for re-entering a mature programme, because that is the real cost of moving any conference between platforms.

What it costs
- Free up to 50
- activated attendees, on one live event
- $5
- per activated attendee beyond 50
- $4,750
- the most one event can ever cost, whatever happens past 1,000
Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
Questions people actually ask
Which is cheaper?
It depends on how many events you run and how full they are. event67 is free to 50 activated attendees, then $5 each, capped at $4,750 per event. Sched's own page shows a per-event figure and an unlimited-events subscription, both sized by an attendee slider (accessed 3 September 2026). For one mid-sized event the meter tends to win; across several events a year the subscription does. Run both against your real numbers.
Do both include a branded app?
event67 does, as standard on every event including the free tier. Sched sells one as an add-on: its plan table lists branded and native mobile apps as available on all three tiers, in two shapes — one app for one event, and one branded app spanning many events — each with a 'Get a Quote' button and no published price (accessed 3 September 2026).
Does either one sell tickets?
Sched does; its published feature list includes registration and ticketing. event67 does not sell tickets, collect payment from attendees or run a box office, and it has no badge printing. Organisers on event67 keep registration wherever it already lives and import the attendee list by CSV.
How do the free tiers compare?
They are genuinely similar and we would rather say that than spin it. Sched publishes unlimited free participants for smaller events below 50 attendees, doubled on its top tier (accessed 3 September 2026). event67 gives one live event up to 50 activated attendees with the whole feature set, the full branded theme and no card. Fifty is the common number; the difference is whether it sits inside a paid plan or stands alone.
What about chat and photos?
event67 has an admin chat with reactions, replies, delivery ticks and an audit trail, plus a shared attendee photo album with open, moderated or admin-only modes and auto-hide once a photo is reported. Sched's plan comparison lists direct and group chat messaging on its higher tiers (accessed 3 September 2026); we found no shared photo album on the pages we accessed and make no claim either way.
