event67 vs Stova
In one sentence: Stova is a full event-management platform covering registration, onsite services, virtual and analytics for enterprise teams, and event67 is a branded attendee app with an organiser console, sold at a published per-attendee rate with a per-event ceiling. Most readers of this page are choosing between the whole platform and the part of it they actually need.

Scope is almost the entire difference
Stova (Stova is a trademark of Stova Group, LLC) and event67 look similar for about four screens. Both put a personalised agenda, speaker bios, push messages and in-app polls and surveys in front of a delegate (stova.io, accessed 3 September 2026), and a delegate moving between the two would notice the branding long before they noticed a missing feature.
The divergence is everything wrapped around those four screens. Stova's published surface adds registration with session and speaker management, contactless QR digital-badge check-in, onsite services and access control, exhibitor lead capture, an Exhibitor Resource Center, virtual, webinar and hybrid experiences, an Event Intelligence Suite for analytics, AI-assisted networking and meeting scheduling, venue maps, and integrations with Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot, Stripe and Zoom (stova.io, accessed 3 September 2026). event67 stops at the attendee app and the organiser console. There is no registration, no hardware, no streaming and no matchmaking behind either of them.
There is a second divergence in how the two are bought. Stova publishes no pricing anywhere on its own site; every route leads to a demo request, and the only public number is a third-party directory's starting price rather than a vendor figure (accessed 3 September 2026). event67's rate, its per-event ceiling and its free tier are printed on a page, and a first event can be created without speaking to anybody.
Those two differences travel together. A platform sold by quote is generally sold as a whole, and the app inside it is not separately priced. That makes the honest question for a reader here a scoping one rather than a ranking one: how much of a platform do you have to buy in order to obtain the app inside it. If the answer is all of it, you are on the wrong page and Stova is your shortlist.
Side by side, with a source on every row
Everything in the Stova 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. Stova may change its pricing at any time; check Stova's pricing page for current figures.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Stova'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.
The same room, priced on each side
Both sides measured against the same 1,600-person congress. 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 Stova publishes itself.

Stova
No seat field on this side, and no total. Working out what Stova 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 Stova states itself.
- As at 3 September 2026, Stova does not publish list pricing and directs buyers to request a quote.
Stova's own site carries the current figures.

Where Stova is the right vendor
- You need registration and the app on one contract. Stova publishes registration with session and speaker management and Stripe integration; event67 has no registration and no payment collection at all.
- Your event has a show floor. Exhibitor lead capture, an Exhibitor Resource Center and onsite access control are published Stova capabilities; event67 has no exhibitor tooling of any kind.
- You print badges and control access at the door. Stova publishes contactless QR digital-badge check-in and onsite services; event67 drives no printer, kiosk or gate.
- Part of the programme is streamed. Stova publishes virtual, webinar and hybrid experiences; event67 has no streaming, no virtual stage and no on-demand library.
- Your delegates expect matchmaking and scheduled meetings. Stova publishes AI-assisted attendee networking and meeting scheduling; event67 has a directory and QR connections and nothing that ranks or books anyone.
- Procurement runs a long enterprise vendor assessment. event67 has no comparable enterprise review track record to point at, and that is a legitimate reason to choose an established platform.
That is six items and five of them are hard exclusions in event67 rather than gaps we intend to close. We would rather you read them here, in the second section of a comparison page, than uncover them in a requirements workshop after the contract is signed.
Where event67 is the right purchase
- You already have registration and only need the app. event67 sells the attendee app and the console on their own, with no platform to buy around them.
- You want a number before a call. Our per-attendee rate and per-event ceiling are published; as at 3 September 2026 Stova does not publish list pricing and directs buyers to request a quote.
- You would rather test it on a genuine congress first. One live event of up to 50 activated attendees runs free, with every feature on and no card taken.
- The store listing has to carry your organisation's name. The event67 app goes into the App Store and Google Play on the client's own listing.
- You would rather pay for delegates than for registrations. event67 bills only people who claimed the invite and opened the app, never the invite list itself, and charges 48 hours after the congress ends.
- You want the engagement stack included. Q&A, polls, reactions, the photo album, admin chat, Wallet passes and scheduled push are in the base product, not modules.
One caveat on the fourth item. We could not establish from Stova's published pages, accessed 3 September 2026, whether a fully white-labelled app with its own store listing is offered — the mobile page markets in-app branding and sponsorship rather than a separate listing. So treat that line as a statement about what event67 does, not as a claim about what Stova does not.
If you are splitting the app out, this is the shape of it
Export the delegate list, import it by CSV, rebuild the programme in the console, set the theme, send invites, watch the activation meter. For a five-track congress the programme rebuild is the bulk of the work and it wants a careful two days against the printed agenda, not an hour against a spreadsheet.
The part that needs a decision rather than a task list is ownership of the seam. Once the app is separate from the platform, one person has to own the delegate list moving between them, the choice of which product scans at the door, and the handling of late registrants who exist in one system and not the other. And if any module you are keeping runs through the platform's own app — badge check-in at the door, exhibitor lead capture on the floor — then delegates will have two apps that week. For an event with a large exhibition that is often the argument against splitting at all, and it is a fair one.

- activated attendees, on one live event
- $5
- per activated attendee beyond 50

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
Is event67 a replacement for Stova?
Only where the attendee app and its console are concerned. Registration, badge printing, access control, exhibitor lead capture, abstract management, venue maps and streaming all stay put, and Stova publishes every one of them on its own site (accessed 3 September 2026). Readers who make this move usually leave registration and onsite operations alone and buy the app on its own.
Which one is cheaper?
We cannot tell you, and any page that does is guessing. event67's price is published: free to 50 activated attendees, $5 per activated attendee after that, and never more than $4,750 for one event. As at 3 September 2026 Stova does not publish list pricing and directs buyers to request a quote, so there is no vendor figure to compare against. The models also differ — an annual platform licence and a per-event meter are not the same shape of cost.
Do both products give delegates a personal agenda?
Yes. Stova's mobile page publishes personalised agendas, speaker bios, push messages and offline schedule access, and in-app polls, surveys and ratings (accessed 3 September 2026). event67 has a live filterable schedule with My Picks, moderated live Q&A with upvoting, live polls, crowd reactions and session feedback. event67 has no offline schedule mode, which is a real difference at a venue with poor coverage.
Can we run event67 alongside our existing platform?
Yes, and that is the common arrangement. The only join is a CSV of the delegate list. Registration, badge printing, access control and any streaming carry on untouched. The one operational decision to make in advance is which product owns check-in at the door, because both can scan a code and running two scanners at one entrance creates a queue and an inaccurate arrivals count.
Which suits a first-time congress team?
That is a judgement, so read it as ours. We think a team running its first congress is well served by something they can start free, price without a call, and configure in an afternoon, which is what we have built. A team that also needs registration, badge hardware and an exhibition floor from one vendor will have a harder first congress on event67 than on a platform, however quick our console is to learn.
